Think: Relocating shop owners and the census. Against that backdrop, here\u2019s what stood out:<\/p>\n<p>On Hona Al Asema, <strong>Lamees Al Hadidi spoke to her boss, <\/strong>interviewing the influential media owner Mohamed El Amin, chairman of the Future Media Group (FMG). The topic: The failed merger of FMG-owned CBC with rival Al Nahar, which Al Borsa had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/04\/12\/nahar-and-cbc-merger-falls-through\/\">suggested back in April<\/a> was on the rocks. El Amin talked about plans to <strong>restructure the group ahead of a potential IPO<\/strong> in 2020 or 2020 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ujqJ5Kgv5vE\"><strong>watch<\/strong><\/a>, runtime 7:05). <br <strong>Lamees also spoke to Manpower Minister Mohamed Safaan about the new 276-article <\/strong><strong>Labor Act, <\/strong>which he said will force the private sector to obtain a court verdict before dismissing employees who commit serious and costly mistakes. Employers will retain the right to lay-off staff for business reasons, but will be also still be required to compensate them for each year of service (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ykmtNbdD4pI\">watch,<\/a> runtime 6:31).<br \/>\nOver on Kol Yom, <strong>Amr Adib spoke to Saudi businessman and Shobokshi Development\u2019s <\/strong><strong>Managing Director Hassan Shobokshi<\/strong> about his plans for future investment in Egypt and the need for a QIZ-like type of agreement between Egypt, Saudi, and the UAE to help boost economic ties (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QjbggF7aEGg\">watch<\/a>, runtime 2:36).<\/p>\n<p>On Yahduth fi Misr, <strong>Sherif Amer spoke got the lowdown on a proposed overhaul of the <\/strong><strong>much-loathed thanaweya amma system<\/strong> from Education Minister Tarek Shawky. The system, which is still under study but should be unveiled \u201csoon,\u201d will no longer divide students into science and non-science majors and impose instead a standardized SAT-style test.<\/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=\"647354\" 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=\"647354\">\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\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/05\/09\/budget-discussions-kick-off-at-the-house\/\">\r\n                            Budget discussions kick-off at the House                        <\/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\/09\/budget-discussions-kick-off-at-the-house\/\" 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();

Growth in the state\u2019s top line will be <strong>driven mostly by higher tax revenues,<\/strong> El Garhy told MPs yesterday, <a href=\"http:\/\/gate.ahram.org.eg\/News\/1512867.aspx\">according to Ahram Gate<\/a>, which are expected to climb to EGP 604 bn from a projected EGP 458 bn in FY2016-17 and contribute around 14.7% of GDP (vs. 13.4% this year). Improvements to fiscal and tax policies should see taxes as a percentage of GDP rise to 18.5% by FY2021-22, the minister added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The sectors the government sees growing: <\/strong>Four industries are expected to drive the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Pages\/StoryDetails.aspx?ID=333096\">improvement in overall economic<\/a> performance: construction and real estate, wholesale trade, manufacturing, and agriculture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about spending? <\/strong>Total public spending will grow 21.3% to EGP 1.2 tn in FY2017-18 from EGP 994 bn this year, and El Garhy sees the budget deficit narrowing to EGP 370 bn, or around 9% of GDP from an estimated 10% this year and 12.5% in FY2015-16. The government hopes to narrow the gap further to 5-6% in the medium term, according to El Garhy. As we noted previously, the government is <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/04\/02\/house-to-kick-off-budget-debate-next-week\/\">optimistic about delivering<\/a> Egypt\u2019s first primary surplus in a decade, which is estimated at 0.3%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what will the government be spending on? <\/strong>The state will continue to take measures to carefully control its spending and efficiently manage its resources, El Garhy said. With <strong>petroleum subsidies falling to 33% of the total subsidy bill in FY2017-18 <\/strong>(compared to 64% in FY2011-12) and electricity dropping to 9%, there is room to increase allocations to social welfare and subsidy programs as well as to the provision of basic goods and services (which together will make up around 42.7% of the subsidy bill, up from 26% in FY2011-12).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food subsidies alone will be up 29.5% in the new budget to EGP 64.2 bn<\/strong> compared to EGP 49.5 bn bn this year, as the number of beneficiaries increases to around 71 mn citizens, while bread subsidy beneficiaries increase to 76.8 mn. Increased spending on social welfare and subsidies is expected to mediate the \u201ctemporary\u201d negative impact that economic reform policies have had on consumers. Spending on healthcare and education accounts for the lion\u2019s share of the state\u2019s EGP 51 bn outlay on \u201csocial and human development,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youm7.com\/story\/2017\/5\/8\/%D9%86%D9%86%D8%B4%D8%B1-%D8%AE%D8%B7%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%83%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A9-%D9%81%D9%89-%D9%82%D8%B7%D8%A7%D8%B9%D9%89-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D8%AD%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%85-%D8%AE%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%84-2017-2018\/3225207\">Youm7 reports<\/a>. That splits as 49% earmarked for healthcare, 28% to education, and 23% to scientific research.<\/p>\n<p>Energy subsidies are projected to cost the state EGP 140 bn, with EGP 110 bn of that figure earmarked for petroleum products and EGP 30 bn for electricity. Spending on <strong>major national infrastructure development projects is expected to grow to EGP 135.4 bn<\/strong> from EGP 91 bn this year, of which EGP 65 bn will be financed from state coffers. The balance provided through grants, loans, and other forms of financing, the <a href=\"http:\/\/gate.ahram.org.eg\/News\/1512864.aspx\">newspaper adds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although GDP growth levels had stagnated during FY2015-16 due to a basket of economic challenges, the first phase of the state\u2019s economic and fiscal <strong>reform plan is bearing fruit and restoring investors\u2019 faith in the market<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youm7.com\/story\/2017\/5\/8\/%D9%88%D8%B2%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%AD%D9%84%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%AC-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D8%B5%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AD-%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%AA-%D8%A8%D9%86%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%AD\/3224983\">El Garhy said<\/a>.
