We have the details in Speed Round, below. We\u2019ve long been yammering on about foreign investors being unlikely to come into Egypt in droves until domestic investors light the way. It\u2019s starting to feel more and more as if we\u2019re on the leading edge of a wave of domestic investment.<\/p><p><strong>We stopped in on the World Bank yesterday as part of the media delegation <\/strong><strong>accompanying AmCham\u2019s 2017 Doorknock mission to Washington, DC. <\/strong>The annual pilgrimage sees leading figures in the Egyptian business community engage directly with policymakers and lawmakers to make the case for closer ties between the two nations. At the World Bank, Vice President for MENA <strong>Hafez Ghanem noted that he\u2019ll be visiting Egypt with a WB delegation at the end of next week <\/strong>for meetings with government officials. Ghanem also said that the third USD 1 bn tranche of the USD 3 bn World Bank loan is expected to be disbursed around December. Final dates will be confirmed in September. Ghanem also spoke favourably of the Ismail government\u2019s drive to create jobs and strengthen the social safety net, which he noted are in line with the World Bank\u2019s priorities.<\/p>\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

Ahmed <\/strong><strong>Farghal about his squabble with Trade Minister Tarek Kabil <\/strong>during the session. Kabil objected to amendments to the act that would give GAFI supreme power over the allocation of land to business and industry (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=STTraTHHtSg\">watch<\/a>, runtime 11:40).<\/p>\n<p>On Al Hayah Al Youm, host<strong> Tamer Amin talked to Cabinet Spokesperson Ashraf Sultan <\/strong>about the new EGP 250 mn joint stock company that the IDA will establish to manage industrial zones (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZV8as5QSVbw\">watch<\/a>, runtime 4:14). He then moved on to talk about recent amendments to the Antiquities Law that are meant to help in the recovery of tourism and include stricter penalties for harassing visitors at tourist sites or peddling products without the necessary licenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antiquities Minister Khaled Enany rang up Lamees El Hadidy to chat <\/strong>about other steps the ministry is taking to boost the sector, such as offering discounts to production companies on shoots at touristic sites (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bxSwfhfAQAU\">watch<\/a>, runtime 5:15).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lamees then moved on to the 1.5 mn feddans project, <\/strong>and spoke to the chair of the House\u2019s Agriculture Committee El Sayed Hassan Moussa about his concerns that water resources available to the land reclamation project are insufficient. The Director of the Finance Ministry\u2019s PPP Unit and Chairperson of Al Reef Al Masry Atter Hannoura, however, refuted the claims and told Lamees that the studies conducted in the area prove otherwise (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WEpa_S_MG50\">watch<\/a>, runtime 17:28).<\/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=\"647187\" 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=\"647187\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/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\/05\/04\/house-could-vote-on-investment-act-today-after-economic-committee-decides-to-keep-private-free-zones-against-finance-ministrys-wishes\/\">\r\n                            House could vote on Investment Act today after Economic Committee decides to keep private free zones against Finance Ministry\u2019s wishes                        <\/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\/05\/04\/house-could-vote-on-investment-act-today-after-economic-committee-decides-to-keep-private-free-zones-against-finance-ministrys-wishes\/\" 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 House Economic Committee voted on Wednesday to keep articles they introduced last Saturday that allow for the establishment of new private free zones, which the government of the day had stripped from the act in 2015.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The House has the final say on the matter, but the committee\u2019s decision goes against the <\/strong><strong>wishes of the Finance Ministry. <\/strong>The ministry had spoken against private-sector-run free zones several times over the past few months, arguing that the zones do little to boost exports and have a negative impact on state coffers. Deputy Finance Minister Amr El Monayer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Pages\/StoryDetails.aspx?ID=332367\">told Al Mal<\/a> that the ministry restated its objections to members of the Economic Committee, hoping to change their minds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Debate over free zones opens up a can of worms: <\/strong>Apart from private free zones, other amendments introduced by the committee appear to be stirring trouble with ministers who said they had not been notified in advance. Trade Minister Tarek Kabil was particularly unhappy about articles that would give the General Authority for Free Zones and Investment sole jurisdiction over tendering land to investors in various fields. Kabil reportedly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=03052017&id=f9c15e98-3089-4d99-9a73-2995b5b7bde1\">threatened to pull out of the meeting<\/a> when the debate with MPs grew heated after he argued that the move adds unnecessary red tape to the process, which he believes should be carried by each respective ministry independently. Finance Minister Amr El Garhy was also displeased with the decision to offer additional incentives and tax rebates to investors, which MPs eventually agreed to curb. CIT Minister Yasser Al Qadi was also present at the meeting to lobby against the Economic Committee\u2019s move to remove articles relating to the establishment of technological zones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tensions running high around the cabinet table? <\/strong>Unnamed state officials <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1128235\">tell AMAY<\/a> that the ministers are not too happy with Investment and International Cooperation Minister Sahar Nasr, who is portrayed as having signed-off on the amendments without consulting them first. House Speaker Ali Abdel Aal is said to have had to broker talks between El Garhy and Nasr on Tuesday, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alborsanews.com\/2017\/05\/03\/1017957\">Al Borsa says<\/a>. The ministers have reportedly asked Prime Minister Sherif Ismail to intervene, the newspaper adds, and Ismail met with House Speaker Ali Abdel Aal, <a href=\"http:\/\/gate.ahram.org.eg\/News\/1511058.aspx\">according to Ahram Gate<\/a>.<\/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=\"647203\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"647204\" 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=\"647204\">\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\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/05\/04\/spanish-archaeologists-uncover-funerary-garden-in-luxor\/\">\r\n                            Spanish archaeologists uncover funerary garden in Luxor                        <\/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\/05\/04\/spanish-archaeologists-uncover-funerary-garden-in-luxor\/\" 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 archaeology team made the discovery while carrying out excavations of early 18th Dynasty rock-cut tombs from circa 1500-1450 BCE. The significance of the finding lies in the fact that similar funerary gardens were previously only seen through images on the walls of New Kingdom tombs, and is the first archaeological confirmation of this element of Ancient Egyptian funerary rites.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div

<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/politics\/articles\/2017-05-02\/wealth-fund-spending-and-ipo-key-remarks-by-prince-mohammed\">Bloomberg<\/a> rounded up the main points of the interview nicely: On Aramco, MbS said \u201cSaudi Arabia will continue to own its oil reserves and will only sell shares in the concession of Aramco\u201d with the size of the IPO depending on demand. From the proceeds of the IPO, 50-70% will be invested domestically via the Public Investment Fund.
