Finance Minister Amr El Garhy has said on multiple occasions that the disbursal is coming in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lall sang the praises of Egypt\u2019s monetary policy, saying he expects annual inflation will<\/strong><strong>drop noticeably in November and December<\/strong> and will continue on a steady downwards path to reach single digits by 2019. \u201cOn the monetary policy side, we have seen inflation now coming down for the past three month since the peak in July\u2026 now when we look at the inflation, it is clear and that happened because of the CBE\u2019s monetary policy stance that was effective in creating a disinflationary path,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lall continued to justify high interest rates as a necessary tool to address inflation<\/strong>, saying that interest rates can only be brought down once fiscal deficit and debt levels are reduced. We continue to respectfully \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/11\/23\/egypt-gdp-growth-rate-climbs-to-5-2-in-1qfy2017-18\/\">and vociferously<\/a> \u2014 disagree.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The state\u2019s fiscal position is also showing improvements and is on track to register a<\/strong><strong>primary surplus<\/strong>, excluding interest payments from this year, Lall said. He noted that social welfare programs, particularly cash transfer programs such as Takaful and Karama, have been expanded to cover nearly twice as many households over the past year. Moving forward, the government must continue to push on the fiscal policy side of the equation to bring the deficit to 5.5% over three years while ensuring it has the necessary resources for social welfare, health, and education programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The fund is not overly worried about debt levels as long as Egypt\u2019s fiscal consolidation<\/strong><strong>remains on track, Lall said. <\/strong>The biggest worries: External factors such as international oil prices and regional security. \u201cBut we know that Egypt has a strong track record in the implementation of policies and it has as well strong credibility in international financial markets,\u201d Lall added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1ubjlxP1wzo\"><strong>watch the full interview with Lall here, runtime: 16:51<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Over on Masaa DMC, Cabinet spokesman Ashraf Sultan<\/strong> told Eman El Hosary that the North Sinai governor is responsible for issuing compensations to the families of individuals who were killed or injured in Friday\u2019s terror attack.

Producers of porcelain, marble and granite can expect to pay EGP 5 for every sqm sold. This applies for imports as well as locally produced goods, according to Article 40 of the law. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/11\/16\/universal-healthcare-act-will-impose-fees-on-healthcare-pharma-sectors\/\">We had noted earlier this month<\/a> that the bill mandates a series of fees on the healthcare sector that range from EGP 10,000 to EGP 500,000 for various licenses and administrative filings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Naturally enough, manufacturers are incensed<\/strong>, with some, including the head of the metallurgy industries division of the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI), <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsanews.com\/2017\/11\/26\/1067917\">telling Al Borsa<\/a> that they plan to pass the costs of the taxes straight through to the consumer. Some companies are considering offsetting losses by importing and selling clinker (a raw material in cement manufacturing) in Egypt. Pharma companies have also quailed at the notion of having to pay into the fund, said Awad Gabr, member of the pharma division of the FEI. Many object to the blanket set fee of EGP 500K imposed on new healthcare companies regardless of their size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us again how paying tax is optional? <\/strong>The chair of the House of Representatives\u2019 Health Committee Mohamed Al Ammari warned that universal healthcare will be derailed if businesses refuse to pay taxes imposed under the act. The committee is expected to hold further hearings on the law with Health Minister Ahmed Rady today, and will study the recommendations of the Medical and Pharma syndicates, Al Ammari added. The committee had given its preliminary approval of the act <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/11\/20\/house-healthcare-committee-signs-off-on-universal-healthcare-act\/\">earlier this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On a related note, it appears that the law has given Egyptian expats the ability to opt out <\/strong><strong>of the new healthcare system<\/strong>, a choice not afforded to residents. The Egyptian Council of State (Maglis Al Dawla) had apparently flagged the provision as violating the constitution, which mandates the right to healthcare for all Egyptians, council member Abdel Razzak Mahran <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=26112017&id=7ffe2e01-1773-4ed6-a7e4-b24c043ee5e4\">tells Al Shorouk<\/a>. It is unclear if the option had been scrapped from the draft sent to the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have mixed feelings about socialized medicine, but our bottom line is simple:<\/strong> If you can look away for the moment from the inevitable execution gaps \u2014 and forget, for an instant, that the devil is in the details \u2014 the notion that every citizen should have a right to quality healthcare is one of those \u201conce in a generation\u201d policy moves for which the Ismail government should get credit. In a nation as scarred by poverty and disease as is ours, their ambition is laudable.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"637842\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"637843\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"637843\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/11\/27\/international-press-occupied-with-magnitude-of-al-rawda-mosque-attack\/\">\r\n                            International press occupied with magnitude of Al Rawda mosque attack                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/11\/27\/international-press-occupied-with-magnitude-of-al-rawda-mosque-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

He points out that the council has only held one meeting, and we are only reminded of its existence when one of its members appears on TV.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/on-deadline\/\">On Deadline<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"637845\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"637845\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/11\/27\/ethiopia-and-sudan-posturing-over-gerd-continues\/\">\r\n                            Ethiopia and Sudan posturing over GERD continues                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/11\/27\/ethiopia-and-sudan-posturing-over-gerd-continues\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The statements follow <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/11\/26\/gerd-a-matter-of-life-or-death-for-ethiopia-too\/\">more conciliatory promises of cooperation<\/a> made by Ethiopia\u2019s Foreign Minister. The latest tiff over the dam follows a breakdown of talks after Ethiopia and Sudan rejected the results of the independent impact study of the dam.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sudan\u2019s Irrigation Minister blames Egypt for the breakdown of talks: <\/strong>Sudan\u2019s Irrigation Minister Moataz Moussa said that Egypt had rejected Sudan\u2019s proposals to resume talks on the impact studies on the GERD. The proposals include setting the 1959 water rights treaty between Egypt and Sudan, which grants the latter an annual allocation of 18.5 bcf of Nile water, as the baseline for the recommended water allocation in the study and barring any recommendations which dilutes those quantities. The proposals also include allowing Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt to hold an inquiry and question the independent consultant on any aspect of the report, Moussa said at a gathering of regional ambassadors in Sudan, <a href=\"https:\/\/arabic.sputniknews.com\/arab_world\/201711261027854855-%D8%B3%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%87%D8%B6%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A3%D8%AB%D9%8A%D9%88%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A7\/\">according to Sputnik Arabic<\/a>. Ethiopia had accepted in principles the proposals, but Egypt had apparently refused. Moussa also blamed the Egyptian media for inflaming the situation further, calling out state outlets for not correcting \u201cmisconceptions\u201d on the talks so far.
