That was the message senior ministry official Ali Mahrous relayed to Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi, who praised the move. Mahrous said the bill would impose caps that would be based on a ministry-imposed \u201ctiering\u201d of healthcare facilities. The proposal would divide hospitals into five brackets based on quality of the service provided. Mahrous fell just short of calling the current pricing schemes of private hospitals and clinics \u201cfraudulent\u201d to justify the move.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was the private sector consulted on any of this?<\/strong> Of course not. But Mahrous appeared to suggest that the Health Ministry wants to launch a (you guessed it) \u201cnational dialogue,\u201d with the assumption being that it has now started with this show (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Iaz-FVT4vJw\">watch<\/a>, runtime 5:02).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emaar Chairman Mohamed Alabbar\u2019s renewed interest in Egypt<\/strong> (more on that in the Speed Round) was the highlight of Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib\u2019s interview with Investment Minister Sahar Nasr. She tells the host that Alabbar\u2019s appetite would not have been whet without legislative reforms such as the Investment Act. Nasr added that the<strong> Investment Act executive regulations could receive the final nod from the cabinet\u2019s economic group as early as next Wednesday<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TT08T30rhZ4\">watch<\/a>, runtime 5:03).<\/p>\n<p>From that high, Adib sunk back to his usual low of discussing Qatar, <strong>delving into the<\/strong><strong>emergency air corridor provided for Qatar with Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathy<\/strong>. Fathy stressed that Qatari planes are still barred from landing at any of the Arab quartet\u2019s airports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=evG13FSgx14\">(watch<\/a>, runtime 6:19). <strong>Fathy also discussed Hajj ticket prices<\/strong>, saying that expensive tickets are likely part of high-end packages (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TT08T30rhZ4\">watch<\/a>, runtime 5:03).<\/p>\n<p><strong>EgyptAir CEO and Chairman Sherif Ezzat was also busy defending the airline\u2019s pricing<\/strong>, telling Sada El Balad\u2019s Ahmed Moussa that the ticket prices were set months ago through a specialized committee. According to Ezzat, the steep increase is a result of the EGP float (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9u_Oz1fAuJY\">watch<\/a>, runtime 22:01).<\/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=\"641880\" 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=\"641880\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/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\/08\/01\/eca-to-introduce-bill-on-oversight-of-ma-within-the-next-few-months\/\">\r\n                            ECA to introduce bill on oversight of M&#038;A within the next few months                        <\/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\/08\/01\/eca-to-introduce-bill-on-oversight-of-ma-within-the-next-few-months\/\" 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 report looks at inbound activity first and finds that KSA and the UAE Account for the lion\u2019s share, with 40 transactions between them. Outbound activity follows a similar pattern: the UAE leading with 58 acquisitions, Qatar nabbing 21 and KSA 16. The article takes note of Saudi\u2019s Public Investment Fund acquiring a 5.6% stake in Uber as one of the high profile moves out of the region. While oil finding its new lower range is putting a damper on government spending, the lawyers suggest that in the long run this will encourage M&A through the need to diversify away from traditional sectors. There is a limit on assets available however, which is creating <strong>frothy valuations because of higher outside demand<\/strong>. One of the other pitfalls in MENA is how much more difficult it is to exit an investment than the West.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to the future, <strong>the three trends to watch in MENA M&A <\/strong>include new avenues opened by tech; economic diversification in countries including Saudi; and outside private equity firms attracted to the MENA growth story.<\/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\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/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=\"641894\" 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=\"641894\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">7<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/01\/beni-suef-woman-impersonates-a-man-to-make-ends-meet-for-her-family\/\">\r\n                            Beni Suef woman impersonates a man to make ends meet for her family                        <\/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\/08\/01\/beni-suef-woman-impersonates-a-man-to-make-ends-meet-for-her-family\/\" 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();

While Al-Quseir is connected to Safaga with a low power line, the consumption of the city has surpassed its capacity. Marsa Alam suffers from the fact that its power stations often malfunction and the solar plant there lacks the capacity to store power overnight, resulting in nightly outages. Citizens from the area have sent a plea to the Minister of Electricity Mohammed Shaker.<\/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\/tourism\/\">tourism<\/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=\"641909\" 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=\"641909\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">17<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Telecoms + ICT<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/01\/isps-will-bear-part-of-the-vat-cost-if-te-agrees-on-lowering-infrastructure-rent\/\">\r\n                            ISPs will bear part of the VAT cost if TE agrees on lowering infrastructure rent                        <\/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\/08\/01\/isps-will-bear-part-of-the-vat-cost-if-te-agrees-on-lowering-infrastructure-rent\/\" 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();
