Instead, Campbell believes, Egypt should resort to the \u201ctransparent model\u201d of a tax and royalty regime. Also important is thinking beyond just producing gold, issuing exploration concession areas designated for multiple minerals because, until the land is methodically explored, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess as to what might be found. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/2017\/01\/16\/egypts-golden-opportunity-mining-21st-century\/\">Tap here to read Campbell\u2019s full piece, written exclusively for Enterprise<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Editor\u2019s note: <\/em><\/strong><em>This section of Enterprise gives space to contrarian views on contemporary issues \u2014 or pieces that bring to light topics that aren\u2019t on the community\u2019s mind, but should be.

(We have more on El Sisi\u2019s interview in Speed Round, below.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finance Minister Amr El Garhy made the rounds with the talk shows<\/strong> last night to build on momentum created by his presser earlier in the day (details on the later are in Speed Round, below).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lamees El Hadidy had a lengthy phone interview with El Garhy on last night\u2019s Hona Al Assema, <\/strong>covering everything from the IMF loan to the eurobond roadshow and the VAT. <strong>On the IMF agreement,<\/strong> El Garhy said that the details of the agreement will be disclosed on Wednesday. The Fund will also be conducting its review of the government\u2019s economic reform program between the end of February and early March <strong>and the minister expects the second USD 1.25 bn tranche of the loan to follow<\/strong>. El Garhy did not confirm whether an IMF team was coming this week to discuss progress on tax reform.

Semantics and spin are the order of the day when one deals with the highly active imagination of the public. His call-in also stressed the importance of subsidy cuts to the reform agenda, which he described as a five-year plan launched when President Abdel Fattah El Sisi became president (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u8SK1EQEIVU\">watch<\/a>; runtime: 10:42).<\/p>\n<p>MBC\u2019s<strong> Sherif Amer <\/strong>spent most of his episode of Yahduth Fi Masr talking to the governors of Minya, Fayoum, Gharbiya, Behaira, Sharqiya, Damietta, and Ismailia about the main challenges they face in their provinces.

While addressing the investing communities at times in the interview, the president\u2019s intended audience was the average \u201cworking man and woman,\u201d whom he thanked for accepting the economic reforms and for whom he expressed sympathy. He promised them that the government will always have their back, saying \u201cwe will not allow the greedy to prey on the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On this point, <strong>the president outlined what he sees as one of the state\u2019s primary roles in the economy: <\/strong>To provide goods and services to the poor \u201cwithout being motivated by profit.\u201d The state will ensure that subsidized goods will be available for eligible beneficiaries and monitor prices so they do not get out of control. <strong>El Sisi was quick to stress, however, that this does not mean a return of socialism.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Praise for reform program:<\/strong> President El Sisi praised progress on the government\u2019s economic reform agenda, which he described as \u201ccrucial\u201d to fixing the \u201cstunted\u201d economy. The president blamed the nation\u2019s longstanding problems on what he called the introduction of a form of unbridled capitalism and an atmosphere that permitted exclusively the seeking profits. That, he said, is what has prompted the introduction of an economic reform agenda. The president also <strong>praised the float of the EGP<\/strong>, which he noted had helped attract investment to the country. He included the <strong>draft Investment Act<\/strong> as one of the key policies that will strengthen the economy, describing it as a \u201cfundamental shift\u201d in addressing investor\u2019s needs. Ahead of the eurobond roadshow this week, the president said that Egypt has its sovereign debt under control and is measured when seeking loans. <strong>El Sisi had this message to investors:<\/strong> You are welcome here, and we will guarantee that your legal and property rights won\u2019t be trampled.<\/p>\n<p>As with most of his interviews on the economy, <strong>the president continued to defend the country\u2019s reliance on national projects.<\/strong> He reserved particular praise for the New Administrative Capital and the development of new urban centers as both major sources of revenue for the state and as a means to absorb the population boom. He gave a tally on progress of some of the government\u2019s economic projects including the development of meds and infant formula factories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the Armed Forces\u2019 role in the economy<\/strong>, El Sisi told the papers that defense spending from the state budget over the past three years had been next to nothing. The Armed Forces are active in the economy to sustain themselves and minimize their burden on state coffers.<\/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=\"652657\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"652658\" 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=\"652658\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/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\/01\/16\/sinai-residents-threaten-to-protest-over-alleged-extrajudicial-killings\/\">\r\n                            Sinai residents threaten to protest over alleged extrajudicial killings                        <\/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\/01\/16\/sinai-residents-threaten-to-protest-over-alleged-extrajudicial-killings\/\" 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 expansion is dependent on the government reducing the price of natural gas supplied to factories, he added.

maritime traffic but to strengthen Egypt\u2019s deterrent capacities in the \u200eface of the threats in the Red Sea region, especially in the vicinity of Bab Al-Mandeb given the \u200edeterioration in the state of security of Yemen.\u200e\u201d General Talaat Moussa, Chairman of the National Security Studies Department at the Higher \u200eNasser Military Academy, tells Eleiba, \u201cThe mission of the fleet \u2026 include securing the \u200eeastern Egyptian coastline and ensuring the safety and stability of maritime traffic at Bab Al-\u200eMandeb and navigation through the Suez Canal.\u201d
