That manifested itself in extensive talk of the phase-out of the wheat subsidy system, affordable housing and the \u2018redevelopment\u2019 of slum areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy unveiled to Yahduth fi Masr\u2019s Sherif Amer a possible new <\/strong><strong>strategy to further overhaul the bread subsidy system<\/strong>. Ration cards would be divided into categories according to the holders\u2019 income bracket. Those at the bottom income bracket would be allowed to purchase loaves at today\u2019s price (EGP 0.05 each), while those making more can expect an increase to EGP 0.10 per.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Moselhy bravely suggested on national television that some currently benefiting from <\/strong><strong>the subsidy program may have to buy bread at market price.<\/strong> It was unclear whether his proposal could replace plans to cut daily bread rations to four loaves from five. El Moselhy reiterated that the bread system had cost state coffers some EGP 4.5 bn per annum.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on Kol Youm, <strong>former Supply Minister Khaled Hanafy had his day in kangaroo <\/strong><strong>court <\/strong>after <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/07\/30\/bread-subsidy-system-topped-conversation-on-the-airwaves\/\">El Moselhy essentially pointed to his predecessor\u2019s bread points system<\/a> as being behind the inefficiencies in subsidies. Hanafy told host Amr Adib that he was acquitted of all charges of illicit gains, but says he has not yet received official word that he\u2019s in the clear (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F0eWf1WpUDM\">watch<\/a>, runtime: 13:20).<\/p>\n<p>Adib then brought on<strong> Housing Minister Mostafa Madbouly to discuss compensating <\/strong><strong>contractors for losses they incurred on government contracts after the EGP float.<\/strong> Madbouly said Cabinet agreed to push back projects\u2019 deadlines to give contractors some breathing space (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hn8TacYVm3w\">watch<\/a>, runtime 2:23).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Madbouly also downplayed the clashes at Warraq island<\/strong> earlier this month, saying residents were not evicted from their homes and that authorities needed to clear out the informal settlement to build schools and hospitals (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yK7InGCPT9I\">watch<\/a>, runtime 1:13).<\/p>\n<p>Hona Al Asema\u2019s <strong>Lamees Al Hadidi also had housing on her agenda, <\/strong>speaking to Assistant Housing Minister Walid Abbas about the ministry\u2019s tender of 24,000 plots of land in 19 cities.

In Germany, which boasts strong unions, record-low unemployment and booming exports, annual wage growth since 2013 has only averaged 2.1%. Japan, where unemployment was near a two-year low, earnings rose 0.7% in May \u2014 and that was the biggest increase since July 2016. Even China, which used to record wage increases of 10% or higher, has seen them significantly reduced of late. A possible explanation could be found in the US, where the employment-to-population ratio continues to slump to below where it was in the last recovery. Data appears to indicate that there some ways to go before we can expect wages to go up.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div
