class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>The talking heads are worried we may soon face another round of fuel subsidy cuts. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-03\"><\/a> <strong>Hiking fuel prices will not be necessary this fiscal year<\/strong> in light of current international oil prices and the FX rate, Finance Minister Amr El Garhy told Lama Gebril, who stepped in for Lamees Al Hadidi on Hona Al Asema last night. El Garhy said that the government agreed with the IMF that further subsidy cuts can be put off for the time being, <strong>but reminded the host that energy subsidies are still on their way out<\/strong>, as the government is sticking to its goal of completely lifting them within three to five years. Cabinet will review its position on fuel subsidies ahead of FY2018-19 to determine how best to achieve that goal, the minister said. El Garhy added that the decrease in month-on-month inflation in August is a positive indicator that annual inflation rate will reach to 12-13% in the coming six-to-nine months (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4yEbDn7MOEM\">watch, runtime 11:00<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pushing back subsidy cuts could mean that next year will see a spike in prices that will <\/strong><strong>be too difficult to stomach<\/strong>, CI Capital analyst Noaman Khaled said in a phone-in. By Khaled\u2019s calculations, the government currently subsidizes 40% of a fuel\u2019s true cost at the pump. He called on the government to reach an arrangement with the IMF to lift the subsidies more gradually to reduce the impact of the shock. Khaled also attributed August\u2019s cooling inflation rates to companies shielding consumers from price increases (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PMIIDoWDcx4\">watch, runtime 7:54<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gebril also spoke to head of the bakeries division at the Federation of Egyptian <\/strong><strong>Industries, Abdullah Ghorab<\/strong>, who said Supply Ministry Ali El Moselhy decided to temporarily postpone the decision to require that subsidy card holders to buy bread in the governorates in which they live (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CJw0PxyoEAg\">watch, runtime 6:14<\/a>). The move was initially presented as a means of cutting down on welfare fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Over on Masaa DMC, Osama Kamal hosted <strong>MP Mohamed Elsewedy for a talk about his <\/strong><strong>reelection as the leader of the Support Egypt bloc in parliament and his legislative agenda <\/strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wmr4xRJb6c4\">watch, runtime 5:28<\/a>). Elsewedy \u2014 switching between his MP\u2019s hat and the one he wears as head of the Federation of Industries \u2014 said not enough land is available to industry. He said the Industrial Permits Act is expected to resolve this issue by granting the Industrial Development Authority the autonomy to tender and develop land plots without being tied down by other government bodies. Elsewedy maintained that providing land for industrial projects is paramount, even if it comes at the expense of agricultural land (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LMZf19o8KsA\">watch, runtime 6:40<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib decided to take a working holiday in Gouna<\/strong> to cover the Gouna Film Festival, which Samih Sawiris told the host was his brother Naguib\u2019s brainchild (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8LLQHkdKVI8\">watch, runtime 2:01<\/a>).<\/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\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/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=\"641664\" 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=\"641664\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/09\/28\/egypt-climbs-15-places-on-wefs-gci\/\">\r\n                            Egypt climbs 15 places on WEF\u2019s GCI                        <\/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\/09\/28\/egypt-climbs-15-places-on-wefs-gci\/\" 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 most problematic factors for doing business in Egypt continue to be policy instability, inflation, corruption, government bureaucracy, and inadequately educated workforce. Most of the underlying indices making up Egypt\u2019s GCI reading show an upward trajectory. An exception to that is the macroeconomic environment, which trended downwards because of a severe drop in gross national savings to GDP as well as inflation. Digging through the indicators, we find the drop in the trend of the availability of scientists and engineers a concern. On the flipside, public institutions and infrastructure development are showing clear improvement. Compared to MENA, Egypt has a significantly larger market size, but is far below the region\u2019s average in terms of technological readiness and the macroeconomic environment.
