The measure was proposed by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and approved by Cabinet after the Palm Sunday bombings. Prime Minister Sherif Ismail spoke to MPs before the vote, saying the measure was necessary to efficiently wage war on terror, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cabinet.gov.eg\/Arabic\/MediaCenter\/CabinetNews\/Pages\/\">according to a Cabinet statement<\/a>. House Speaker Ali Abdel Aal stressed that the state of emergency won\u2019t affect ordinary citizens and will not be extended indefinitely, as was the case during the Mubarak era. It is in place for a specific time and to serve a specific purpose, Abdel Aal said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MPs edge toward warrantless arrests, allow security forces right to detain suspects <\/strong><strong>without evidence: <\/strong>The House Legislative Committee approved amendments to the Emergency Act that would permit detentions without arrest warrants and allow security forces to detain individuals under suspicion for intending to commit a crime without specific evidence, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.madamasr.com\/ar\/2017\/04\/11\/news\/u\/%D9%85%D9%8F%D8%AD%D9%8E%D8%AF%D9%8E%D8%AB-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%8A%D9%82%D8%B1-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%84%D9%8B%D8%A7-%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%A7\/\">Mada Masr<\/a> says. The amendments, proposed by committee member Tharwat Bekheit, are to Article 3 of the 1958 emergency law, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=11042017&id=5e653597-7028-41ad-a2e8-d2e129d65d48\">Al Shorouk reports<\/a>. MPs are also proposing the Prosecutor General be tasked with reviewing detention orders and requesting that the Emergency State Security Court extend pre-trial detentions indefinitely. <strong>The measures are intended to replace an article that the Supreme Constitutional Court had deemed unconstitutional in 2013<\/strong>. The amendments must be passed on to the Council of State within seven days for review prior to being put to a plenary vote in the House.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!--

class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-07\"><\/a> <strong>Favorable demographics are driving rapid economic advancement for emerging markets <\/strong><strong>(EMs)<\/strong> and creating a broader set of opportunities for investors. That was the takeaway from the <strong>2017 Goldman Sachs Asset Management symposium<\/strong>, where panelists were concerned about how rising US interest rates and a stronger USD will impact EM flows, but noted that EM equities have historically done well in a rising rate environment, provided that the Fed \u201cis hiking for reasons that are supportive of EM, such as improving growth.\u201d Still, demographics and middle class expansion will remain defining themes for EM. Anja Manuel, Co-Founder and Partner at Rice Hadley Gates, says \u201c<strong>for many EMs, demographics is destiny. For example in 2030, fewer than half of the Chinese population will be working, while more than 70 percent of Indians will be working.<\/strong> This is the moment when India should reap its demographic dividend.\u201d But China remains in a \u201cdemographic sweet spot\u201d for now, says Cartica Capital CEO Teresa C. Barger. \u201cAs a financial investor with a two- to five-year horizon,\u201d Barger says, \u201cdemographics would not be a reason to avoid China now, though there may be other considerations. Within any larger demographic trends, there are micro stories that affect how you invest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Overall, talking to CEOs looking to expand into EMs for the first time, Manuel says \u201cI find is that many tend to overestimate the big risks, such as physical security and whether they will lose their whole investment, while underestimating the everyday difficulty of getting things done in countries where relationships are paramount and there's a lot of red tape. <strong>We generally counsel our clients to look at countries that are making the right governance decisions -- whether it's implementing anti-corruption measures or moving up the ease of doing business index. There's usually a correlation between these reforms and higher growth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Away from EMs, Goldman Sachs Securities Division\u2019s clients were more focused on <\/strong><strong>Europe this month<\/strong>, according to the result of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldmansachs.com\/our-thinking\/pages\/marquee-quickpoll-market-sentiment.html\">Marquee Quickpoll<\/a>. The event they are focusing most on globally in April is the first round of the French presidential elections, which is scheduled for 23 April. Over three-quarters of the respondents think Marine Le Pen\u2019s chances of winning the presidency is low or very low. The poll also showed that investors expect the top performing major equity market in April to be the Euro Stoxx 50.<\/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=\"648810\" 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=\"648810\">\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\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/04\/12\/emergency-law-is-topping-headlines-in-international-media\/\">\r\n                            Emergency law is topping headlines in international media                        <\/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\/12\/emergency-law-is-topping-headlines-in-international-media\/\" 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 media outlets focus on how the move could erode freedoms. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-egypt-violence-emergency-law-idUSKBN17D1SI\">Reuters<\/a> quotes the Arab Network for Human Rights Information, which said the law would not achieve security and was intended to \u201cfurther suppress freedom of opinion, expression and belief, and to crack down on human rights defenders.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.truth-out.org\/news\/item\/40187-el-sisi-widens-crackdown-on-egyptian-civil-society-journalists-after-palm-sunday-church-bombings\">Democracy Now<\/a> has a 26-minute report on the measure, the entire focus of which is to disparage the government\u2019s human rights record and give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/indepth\/features\/2017\/04\/egypt-emergency-law-explained-170410093859268.html\">Al Jazeera<\/a> a run for its money on giving Omm El Donia a good kick when it\u2019s down. Speaking of which, the Qatar-based organization ran a feature on the emergency law and what powers it grants the president. While it does meet what we expect from the outlet, it is surprisingly tempered compared to what we\u2019re seeing on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a glut of coverage on the aftermath of the Palm Sunday attacks, but it\u2019s mostly derivative stuff: commentary from Christian papers, solidarity pieces from GCC-based outlets, recycled and overused platitudes from many leading Western papers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/04\/10\/world\/middleeast\/egypt-christians-isis-palm-sunday-attacks-sisi.html\"><strong>The New York Times<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u2019s Declan Walsh recaps how Daesh\u2019s new plan is to \u201cdivide Egypt by killing Christians,\u201d <\/strong>revisiting how defeats in Syria and Iraq pushed Daesh to \u201cfind a new battleground where it can start to proclaim victory again.\u201d Walsh adds that \u201cfew believe it can succeed\u2026 and despite deep-rooted prejudices, there is no popular support for a bloody pogrom.\u201d <strong>The <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/04\/11\/opinion\/the-palm-sunday-attack-in-egypt.html\"><strong>NYT\u2019s editorial board<\/strong><\/a><strong> presses the point that we shouldn\u2019t play into the attackers\u2019 goals to \u201cfan the sectarian discord between Christians and Muslims<\/strong>.\u201d Making a more poignant point than usual, the Gray Lady\u2019s editors remind us that \u201cthe struggle against terrorism is not a \u2018war\u2019 that can be won if only the right strategy is found and that it is also important not to spread illusions about quick or easy solutions. No less important is not succumbing to despair, panic or hatred. Not to surrender, in other words, to what the terrorists seek.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it\u2019s amateur hour over at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/global-opinions\/trumps-confidence-in-sissi-is-misplaced-the-egyptian-church-bombings-show-why\/2017\/04\/10\/babe81ee-1e0f-11e7-a0a7-8b2a45e3dc84_story.html?utm_term=.1bc8353b7c29\">Washington Post\u2019s editorial board<\/a> as it pontificates about how <strong>The Donald\u2019s confidence in President El Sisi is misplaced.<\/strong> They argue that the church bombings \u2014 particularly the one in Alexandria, where Pope Tawadros was leading prayers \u2014 was the most prominent indicator of how El Sisi\u2019s security strategy had failed. Exactly. Something goes boom (or a car smashes into a crowd) in the US, UK or Western Europe and it\u2019s a tragedy. If you\u2019re from our part of the world, it\u2019s the failure of an entire security policy \u2014 and was probably caused by that security policy pushing people to join the terrorists in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday\u2019s attacks put Egypt\u2019s fragile economy at risk, says DW:<\/strong> There were actually signs that the Egyptian economy is picking up, albeit in a small and slow way, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/egypts-economy-in-trouble\/av-38376855\">German outfit DW<\/a> says in a short video report. Inflation kept rising since the EGP float, but began inching down in March. However, following Sunday\u2019s attacks and after imposing a state of emergency, holding on to the economic gains the country has made will be \u201cchallenging,\u201d the report says. DW then spoke to the head of the German Chambers of Commerce, Phillip Andree, who believes that the attacks risks scaring off foreign investors (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/dw-business-europe-asia\/av-38382203\">watch<\/a>, runtime: 11:17)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The (ex-Qatar) GCC and London Arabic-language press is reflexively backing Egypt<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/english.aawsat.com\/sawsan-abu-husain\/news-middle-east\/world-countries-show-solidarity-egypt\">Asharq Al Awsat<\/a> is running piece highlighting the solidarity shown to Egypt from global leaders and governments.

Abdel Tawab believes the painful truth that should not be overlooked is that Coptic Christians were the exclusive targets of Sunday\u2019s attacks \u2014 and that the bombings were inspired by criminal religious interpretations in the perpetrators\u2019 heads. Abdel Tawab says that claiming the terrorists\u2019 targets were unequivocally clear: Christians. This wasn\u2019t a case of indiscriminate attacks regardless of whether the victims were Muslim or Christian.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This clear distinction is vital, he says, as acknowledging the fact will help us, as a nation, <\/strong><strong>eliminate the root causes of terrorism<\/strong>. Leniency is no longer acceptable with a religious discourse that encourages hate, Abdel Tawab says. Acknowledging the targets of the attack, taking responsibility, and weeding out extremists is key to preventing future attacks.

According to the report, Banque Misr and the National Bank of Egypt each reported year-on-year increases in net income after taxes. Meanwhile, foreign-owned banks, including Bank Audi and Abu Dhabi\u2019s Union National Bank have announced plans to expand in Egypt. Government securities have also shored up local currency liquidity, OBG says: \u201cGovernment bonds have made up a large share of bank\u2019s assets in recent years, as the state has looked to finance its budget deficit by issuing debt in local currency. There are positive signs for banks in this, though planned fiscal tightening could lead to a tapering of bond assets available in the medium term, prompting banks to look for new places to park capital.\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
