Next on the ministry\u2019s to-do list: digitizing the budgets of state agencies to streamline the revenue collection process and allow for better oversight of state funds (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zn1Ruk0T764\">watch, runtime: 7:33<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kamal also talked to Banque Misr Deputy Chairman Sahar El Damaty<\/strong>, who said the bank\u2019s portfolio of non-performing loans has eased to 5.5% of its loan book in \u201crecent years\u201d from a previous high of 10.3%. On the back of easing FX restrictions and export-promotion measures, the majority of the bank\u2019s loan growth is being driven by industry, she noted (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SB5Hn7SvQjo\">watch, runtime: 4:27<\/a>). El Damaty said that 55% of all current loans in nation\u2019s banking system (which she pegged at EGP 1.4 tn, up from EGP 200 bn in 2010) have been extended by state-owned banks (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pg57G1FOlu8\">watch, runtime: 4:17<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib persevered in his coverage of the developments in North Sinai<\/strong>, starting with a discussion about the equipment and devices security forces found during a raid on terrorist hideouts in Ismailia (we have more details in National Security, below). Adib pointed to the equipment as evidence of the massive amount of funding being funneled into terror organizations there (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pg57G1FOlu8\">watch, runtime: 5:32<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adib also took note of a report CNN aired yesterday that included footage from inside El<\/strong><strong>Rawda mosque<\/strong>. He hailed the decision to grant CNN\u2019s reporters access to the mosque after the government had barred foreign journalists from the area. Adib attributed the change of heart to Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry\u2019s interview with CNN\u2019s Christiane Amanpour on Monday, during which the issue of press access came up (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pg57G1FOlu8\">watch, runtime: 4:44<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gYnhqhaFVn4\"><strong>Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KqFiS_ajqFI\"><strong>Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s<\/strong><\/a><strong> Tamer Amin<\/strong> dedicated the better part of their evenings to mourning the loss of Egyptian cinema icon Shadia.
