the talking heads exhaust all topics, you can bet they\u2019ll return to that old-time audience favourite: <strong>Food prices and subsidies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The private sector continues to get the blame for inflation:<\/strong> Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib spoke to the head of Federation of Chambers of Commerce\u2019s Giza food division Yehia Kassab, who blamed food inflation on primary suppliers, who have caused a chon reaction up the consumer foods production and distribution chain (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bYj84d4iJ8A\">watch<\/a>, runtime 2:47). Another industry official blamed unlicensed wholesalers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iij7hs_XRPc\">watch<\/a>, runtime 3:51).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adib had spoken to MP Ahmed El Gazzar about increases food prices<\/strong>. El Gazzar said he submitted an official inquiry to Prime Minister Sherif Ismail and is demanding the government take action (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rJz5yWaHDbU\">watch<\/a>, runtime 2:24). The cabinet had postponed last week a discussion proposed changes to the Consumer Protection Act that would allow the state to set price controls. Ministers are due to discuss the amendments at a meeting this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The host then moved on to education<\/strong> and had a quick chat with Education Minister Tarek Shawky about his plans for the sector (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F3gSyWJiNpo\">watch<\/a>, runtime 6:07).<\/p>\n<p>Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Lobna Assal spoke to <strong>Social Solidarity Minister Ghada Wali on the <\/strong><strong>expansion of the Takaful and Karama welfare programs<\/strong>, where coverage is growing at a rate of 100k families a month, up from 500,000 families a year previously (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oni2sS9NfS0\">watch<\/a>, runtime 3:51).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cabinet Spokesperson Ashraf Sultan told Assal<\/strong> warned that around 19 mn subsidy beneficiaries need to update or complete missing information before 30 June because \u201cprocedures will differ after that\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=29iGFNMuOqk\">watch<\/a>, runtime 4:58). The government had hinted at penalties for those who do not update their status by that date.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Lamees El Hadidi focused on the US air strike on Syria<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EyjKOBVMoGg\">watch<\/a>, runtime 5:47) and spoke to political science professor Moataz Abdel Fattah (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-kSN1cKEukE\">watch<\/a>, runtime: 2:08).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yahduth fi Misr\u2019s Sherif Amer was off last night.<\/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\/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=\"648646\" 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=\"648646\">\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\/04\/09\/imf-says-it-is-working-with-egypt-to-control-inflation-praises-reforms\/\">\r\n                            IMF says it is working with Egypt to control inflation, praises reforms                        <\/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\/04\/09\/imf-says-it-is-working-with-egypt-to-control-inflation-praises-reforms\/\" 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();

class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>Global events are significant, but there is still lots of scope for local<\/strong><strong> policymakers across the world to pursue their own objectives<\/strong>, such as full employment or low inflation, Selim Ali Elekdag and Gaston Gelos write for the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-imfdirect.imf.org\/2017\/04\/06\/with-global-financial-markets-how-much-control-do-countries-have-over-economic-policies\/\">IMF Blog<\/a>. They cite the latest IMF Global Financial Stability Report\u2019s indexes, which showed \u201cthat <strong>global events account for between 20 percent and 40 percent of local conditions across countries<\/strong>, leaving policymakers considerable scope for action. And even as financial markets have become more integrated, the degree of control countries exert over domestic conditions has only diminished mildly over the past two decades. Still, the rapid speed and the strength by which external financial shocks tend to affect local markets often makes it difficult for policymakers to react in a timely and effective manner.\u201d Conditions globally are, as expected, driven strongly by the United States, the report suggests. Closer to home, Elekdag and Gelos say \u201c<strong>emerging markets, which are more sensitive to global conditions than advanced economies, should take steps to bolster their resilience to global shocks<\/strong>. They should deepen domestic financial markets and develop a local investor base, making their markets less susceptible to fluctuations in flows of money across borders. Such steps are particularly important now, when financial conditions are tightening in response to the Fed\u2019s rate hike.\u201d<\/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\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/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=\"648664\" 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=\"648664\">\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\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/04\/09\/giggs-in-cairo\/\">\r\n                            Giggs in Cairo                        <\/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\/04\/09\/giggs-in-cairo\/\" 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 research, which relies on the premise that graying hair is an indicator of biological aging and the coronary risk factors that come with it, was presented at EuroPrevent 2017 conference on Saturday. Researchers concluded that a high hair whitening score was associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease independent of chronological age and established cardiovascular risk factors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A couple of GCC-based outlets took a look at our economy over the weekend. <\/strong>Egypt\u2019s economy is bouncing back, but fundamental risks remain that might impede that growth, writes Naser al-Tamimi in an oped for<a href=\"https:\/\/english.alarabiya.net\/en\/views\/news\/middle-east\/2017\/04\/08\/Egypt-s-economy-shows-positive-signs-but-big-risks-remain.html\">Al Arabiya<\/a>. He believes inflation tops the risks of long-term challenges to the economy. His analysis, which offers nothing by way of new or original thinking, also includes the military influence on the economy as a potential risk to liberalization. HIs sole source: a BMI research study that apparently says the military controls 30% of the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"http:\/\/gulfnews.com\/news\/mena\/egypt\/egypt-cautiously-revamps-bloated-subsidy-system-1.2007467\"><strong>Gulf News<\/strong><\/a><strong> is looking at Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy\u2019s efforts to reform<\/strong><strong>the food subsidies system<\/strong>, with an eye to cutting welfare rolls by 10% this year to get rid of welfare cheats.
