All businesses pay a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/10\/15\/finmin-finalizes-universal-healthcare-tithe\/\">0.25% tithe<\/a> on their revenues to fund the new universal health ins. system which is currently not tax-deductible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/strong><strong>Another round of presidential pardons are happening today: <\/strong>Twenty-five prisoners will be released, Tarek El Khouly, a member of the Presidential Pardons Committee, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/khouly1985\/posts\/604116221285452\">said<\/a> yesterday.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/rates-bonds\/egypts-central-bank-seen-hiking-rates-dampen-price-rises-2022-08-15\/\">Reuters poll<\/a> out earlier this week is also calling a rate hike, with the wire service saying the sweet spot is 50 bps. Economist Nabil Zaki added his voice to the chorus yesterday, predicting a 200-bps hike in an interview on Salet El Tahrir (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TGogYAfJUuo\">watch, runtime: 3:17<\/a>). \u201cThe CBE has to make up for the rise in inflation and raise the interest rate in tandem with the US Federal Reserve\u2019s rate hikes in order to bring back hot money into the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Madbouly government will hold another round of consultations on its privatization<\/strong> <strong>strategy:<\/strong> Tomorrow it\u2019s the turn of mining companies to voice their thoughts on the state ownership document.
