Mal reports<\/a>. A quick refresher on the provisions of Amr El Garhy\u2019s latest: <strong>The nation\u2019s largest-ever budget targets a primary surplus of 0.3% for the first time in years<\/strong> and sees GDP growing by at least 4.6% in the next fiscal year. State spending will be backed by higher tax revenues, including by a 1 ppt bump in the baseline value-added tax to 14%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The new budget sees public spending rising 21.3%<\/strong> as the government earmarks larger sums for healthcare, education, higher education, and research (together about 10.3% of GDP). EGP 24.8 bn has been earmarked for state investment in healthcare, an increase of 15% over last year\u2019s budget, while the government will invest EGP 14.4 bn in education and training, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Story\/337998\/14\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%8A%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%81%D9%82-%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%85%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%86%D8%A9-2017--2018\">according to Al Mal<\/a>. (Those figures are for state investment in the sectors as distinct from budget support for ongoing operating costs.) EGP 3.5 bn was earmarked for the rehabilitation of slums. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/05\/24\/govt-targets-primary-surplus-next-fiscal-year-sees-economic-growth-at-4-6\/\">Tap here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/05\/09\/budget-discussions-kick-off-at-the-house\/\">here<\/a> for our full breakdown of the budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The FY 2017-18 budget includes EGP 75 bn spending to shore-up the social safety net <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/06\/21\/sisi-raises-food-subsidy-allowances-to-egp-50-from-egp-21-alongside-handful-of-social-safety-measures\/\"><strong>ordered by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Tuesday<\/strong><\/a>, according to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mof.gov.eg\/Arabic\/MOFNews\/Media\/Pages\/releas-a21-6-17.aspx\">Finance Ministry statement<\/a>. These include increasing monthly food subsidy allowances on ration cards to EGP 50 from EGP 21 for each cardholder. The Ministry says the earmarks aim to ease the impact of the economic reform program on Egyptian households. <strong>90% of citizens will directly benefit from the increase<\/strong>, Finance Minister Amr El Garhy noted.<\/p>\n<p>Even with all the increases in social spending, <strong>El Garhy maintains that the government can <\/strong><strong>meet its budget deficit target of 9.1% of GDP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No new taxes are in the pipeline and there\u2019s no plan to hike the rates of existing levies <\/strong>to support increased welfare spending,Vice Minister of Finance Amr El Monayer told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1151493\">Al Masry Al Youm<\/a>. Some of the new spending was already accounted for and approved in the budget, Vice Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait added, while others among the president\u2019s pledges can easily be accommodated within the current budget. Still, the Supply Ministry claims increased spending on subsidies came as a surprise and says it is now scrambling to meet the increased demand for goods, according to statements attributed to ministry spokesperson Mamdouh Ramadan <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=21062017&id=a45e2648-c5de-4f31-a9a4-cf81eab76d55\">by Al Shorouk<\/a>. Prior to El Sisi\u2019s welfare package, total spending on subsidies was due to grow 19% in the fiscal year starting July 1. That comes as petrol subsidies are expected to fall to about 33% of total subsidy spending, signaling a fuel price hike is in the cards sometime in the new year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offsetting the cost of subsidy increases by raising prices?<\/strong> Some of the cost of new welfare outlays will be recoupled by repricing subsidized goods closer to market norms, Supply Ministry officials <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=21062017&id=315d6d39-1b3d-4947-ab14-77d27a98bfe6\">tell Al Shorouk<\/a>. The EGP 50 allowance will also be issued to each individual registered on a single subsidy card, the source also said, adding that there are no imminent plans to change the bread point system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The bump in welfare spending under the new budget <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/egypt-economy-budget-idUSL8N1JI2LC\"><strong>received extensive coverage<\/strong><\/a><strong> in the <\/strong><strong>foreign press<\/strong>, with some, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/aponline\/2017\/06\/21\/world\/middleeast\/ap-ml-egypt-economy.html\">the Associated Press<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/politics\/articles\/2017-06-21\/egypt-boosts-food-aid-pensions-to-ease-pressure-on-the-poorest\">Bloomberg<\/a>, suggesting the move was taken to offset the unpopularity of the agreement to hand Tiran and Sanafir to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Separately, the Finance Ministry announced that <strong>the government recorded a budget deficit <\/strong><strong>equivalent to 8.3% of GDP in 10M2016-17<\/strong>, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1151602\">Al Masry Al Youm<\/a>. That\u2019s about EGP 283 bn, if you\u2019re keeping track at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also on Wednesday:<\/strong> The House also signed off on the government\u2019s <strong>2017-2020 sustainable<\/strong><strong>development plan<\/strong>, which, among other things sees GDP climbing to a high of 6% in 2020.

Most contented themselves with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/aponline\/2017\/06\/21\/world\/middleeast\/ap-ml-egypt-islands.html\">running wire reports<\/a>, adding only that the decision will further complicate the issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not far from the top is coverage of Egypt supplying Gaza with fuel<\/strong> during the strip\u2019s ongoing electricity crisis (we have more in Diplomacy + Foreign Trade).

He says that while 2016 \u201ccame and went with virtually no privatisations,\u201d the mood has recently become noticeably more upbeat. Selling minority stakes is a good start, but \u201cwhat would be far better news would be if the government could bring itself to relinquish control of these companies by selling majority stakes.\u201d Werr nails it when he notes \u201cone of the main benefits of privatisation, probably even more important than the revenue that the cash-strapped government earns, is that it allows for more agile management\u201d and hopes the government sees the EGP float \u201cas an opportunity to attract buyers and not as an excuse not to sell. And let us hope that it is the beginning of far more comprehensive sales that would include larger stakes and companies in sectors that for political reasons have until now been out of bounds for privatisation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Sabry, an Egyptian in Vancouver, wants to help teach refugees how to code<\/strong>, Tamara Rahmani reviews for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/british-columbia\/refugee-coding-bootcamp-vancouver-1.4170560\">CBC News<\/a>. A coding class he took at the University of British Columbia helped Sabry become a business owner, Rahmani explains. \u201cI used to be in a similar position [in 2013] where I was unemployed in a collapsing country in the Middle East and I didn't really have skills that I could use,\u201d said Sabry. \u201cSo the idea of giving that skill to people in refugee camps just seems like a very good solution,\u201d he adds. <strong>Mr. Sabry\u2019s charitable instinct notwithstanding, his offhand remarks about a \u201ccollapsing country\u201d lead us to cordially invite him to\u2026 well, we\u2019d say more, but we\u2019re fasting.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>International news and coverage worth noting in brief include:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/06\/21\/opinion\/misguided-attacks-on-al-jazeera.html\"><strong>New York Times\u2019 Editorial Board<\/strong><\/a><strong> is running a defense of Al Jazeera<\/strong>, claiming that Egypt and the GCC are so antagonistic toward the outlet because of a desire to suppress dissent. <\/li>\n<li><strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi should set aside a death sentence confirmed by the<\/strong><strong> country\u2019s highest appeals court on 25 April<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2017\/06\/21\/egypt-cancel-alexandria-death-penalty\">Human Rights Watch<\/a> says. \u201cThe sentence followed a trial that violated the defendant\u2019s due process rights,\u201d the organization says. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Egyptian Muslims and Christians breaking bread during Ramadan<\/strong>, a welcome sight with all the sectarian attacks, is being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-religion-ramadan-egypt-iftar-idUSKBN19C24A\">explored by Reuters<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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\/egypt-in-the-news\/\">Egypt in the News<\/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=\"646766\" 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=\"646766\">\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\">On Deadline<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/06\/22\/parliaments-activities-are-mired-in-legal-and-constitutional-issues\/\">\r\n                            Parliament\u2019s activities are mired in legal and constitutional issues                        <\/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\/06\/22\/parliaments-activities-are-mired-in-legal-and-constitutional-issues\/\" 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();

Most of the issues have to do with parliament doing away with transparency standards, such as its abrupt decision to stop broadcasting its discussion sessions, which took away constituents\u2019 right to hold their elected representatives accountable for their decisions. Parliament has also been notoriously speedy in passing key pieces of legislation \u2014 including the Emergency Law \u2014 ignoring in the process the possibility that some of these laws are unconstitutional, the columnist says.<\/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\/on-deadline\/\">On Deadline<\/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=\"646767\" 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=\"646767\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/06\/22\/using-cheese-as-collateral-in-italy\/\">\r\n                            Using cheese as collateral in Italy                        <\/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\/06\/22\/using-cheese-as-collateral-in-italy\/\" 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();

And they make amazing cheese. Why not <\/strong><strong>combine the two?<\/strong> Credito Emiliano is one of those ideas you get when you have a little too much wine and parmesan. It\u2019s a bank whose system of credit relies on the deposit and collateralization of cheese. Parmigiano-Reggiano to be exact, according to a video by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XzBPdU_iVcI&feature=youtu.be\">Great Big Story<\/a> (runtime 2:23). Parmigiano-Reggiano is a special kind of cheese because it needs to be aged for 16 to 36 months, and a wheel can be worth thousands of USD, making it a safe long-term investment for the bank. The 300,000 wheels of this cheese that the bank has on deposit in special warehouses are now worth over EUR 160 mn.<\/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\/worth-watching\/\">worth watching<\/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=\"646769\" 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=\"646769\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/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\/06\/22\/3000-year-old-prosthesis-found-near-luxor-could-be-oldest-in-human-history\/\">\r\n                            3,000-year-old prosthesis found near Luxor could be oldest in human history                        <\/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\/06\/22\/3000-year-old-prosthesis-found-near-luxor-could-be-oldest-in-human-history\/\" 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();
