He explained that the laws prohibiting the registration of marriage contracts for those under 18 do not prevent families from marrying off their underage children in places where the practice is culturally acceptable (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s3HjVxCDs-g\">watch, runtime 7:04<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deputy Health Minister Maissa Shawky felt differently though.<\/strong> She told Kamal that: a) It\u2019s unlikely the legislation will pass the House, and b) reducing the age for marriage could create a baby boom in Egypt and escalate our already-alarming population growth levels, since fertility is higher at younger ages (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nNORpp802Vk\">watch, runtime 10:40<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kamal then moved on to building code violations.<\/strong> House Housing Committee Chair Alaa Wali told Kamal that as many as 25% of buildings in Cairo and Giza governorates have building code violations that make them structurally unsound (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UHwuE4hq1MQ\">watch, runtime 4:10<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Over on TEN TV, <strong>Amr Abdel Hamid was on about efforts to reign-in the tuktuk,<\/strong> which House Transport Committee member Mohamed Zein said would be \u201cquite impossible to ban.\u201d The committee has been drawing up legislation that would regulate the tuktuk, he said, and proposals on the table include drug testing drivers periodically and restricting tuktuks to specific streets and locations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aW5xu1PCwj8\">watch, runtime 4:13<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on Hona Al Asema, Dina Zahra (who\u2019s filling in for Lamees Al Hadidi) spoke to Daqahliyah Governor Ahmed Shaarawy about the <strong>New Mansoura City<\/strong>, where construction should begin in about 10 days.

The float of the EGP had also helped a revival in occupancy rates, particularly in Hurghada and Marsa Alam, he said. Ghali <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/07\/18\/hilton-to-open-first-hotel-out-of-seven-new-hotels-end-of-2018\/\">had said last month<\/a> that Hilton will open its first hotel under its new contract to manage seven establishments at the end of 2018. Four of these hotels will be in Cairo with the rest in Ain Sokhna, Damietta, and the new capital. The company is also planning to expand into Morocco and Tunisia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Hilton\u2019s baseline assertions are backed by recent tourist arrival figures,<\/strong> as Egypt reportedly received 532k visitors in June alone,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ansamed.info\/ansamed\/en\/news\/sections\/tourism\/2017\/08\/09\/tourism-egypt-prices-beat-fear-532000-visitors-in-june_c510422c-83ac-4d5d-ac59-32b81054bd88.html\">Italy's ANSAmed reports<\/a>. The increase in arrivals was likely driven by the Egyptian Tourism Authority\u2019s subsidy program, which offers affordable charter flights that make it easier for tourists to fly in, especially Italians, of whom we have lately seen an influx.

Dunne and Walles point out that getting Dahlan back could carry the short-term benefit of a \u201cmore economically stable and less desperate Gaza.\u201d However, they note that \u201coutside powers such as Israel, Egypt, and the UAE can try to promote certain choices (Dahlan), constrain others (Hamas), and prevent still others (Barghouti), but in the end such plans often go awry. Local factors might still prevent Dahlan from gaining dominance, and even if he were to do so, he might prove to be far less tractable than his outside patrons expect.\u201d<\/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\/diplomacy-foreign-trade\/\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/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=\"642317\" 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=\"642317\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">11<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Energy<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/10\/egyptian-electricity-holding-company-signs-usd-109-mn-contract-with-mitsubishi\/\">\r\n                            Egyptian Electricity Holding Company signs USD 109 mn contract with Mitsubishi                        <\/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\/10\/egyptian-electricity-holding-company-signs-usd-109-mn-contract-with-mitsubishi\/\" 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 Pharos expects real GDP growth and the employment rate to improve gradually going forward, the inflationary reaction to the recent energy product price hike will exert further downside pressure on the index in 3Q2017.
