It has also revised its projection for the current fiscal year, lowering it to 4.5% from 4.8%. The IMF now also expects the budget deficit for FY2016-17 to reach 10.5% of GDP, up from a previously projected 9.8% of GDP. However, <strong>the IMF\u2019s projections for the budget deficit in FY2017-18 would appear to be more optimistic than the government\u2019s<\/strong>, with the Fund expecting it to reach 8.5% of GDP from 8.4% of GDP in its previous evaluation. The government is anticipating the deficit this fiscal year will come in at 9.1% of GDP. On inflation, the IMF\u2019s initial estimates proved way off point, with consumer price inflation at the end of last fiscal year being revised to 32.8% from 16.6%. <strong>The fund expects inflation to drop to 10.3% at the end of FY2017-18.<\/strong><\/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=\"645234\" 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=\"645234\">\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\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/07\/16\/_storyhed_-roman-era-mosaic-floor-discovered-in-alexandria\/\">\r\n                            !_StoryHed_!

The ministry has already finished drafting a law that criminalizes the destruction of lakes, setting strict prison sentences of 3-7 years in prison and fines of up to EGP 5 mn. The amendments also set penalties of up two years in prison and EGP 20k in fines for illegal cotton ginning. Both laws have already been approved by the Sherif Ismail cabinet.<\/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\/legislation-policy\/\">Legislation + Policy<\/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=\"645249\" 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=\"645249\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">16<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Egypt Politics + Economics<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/07\/16\/window-for-subsidy-card-holders-to-update-their-data-closes\/\">\r\n                            Window for subsidy card holders to update their data closes                        <\/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\/07\/16\/window-for-subsidy-card-holders-to-update-their-data-closes\/\" 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();
