The president was speaking a day after the government said it was <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/c2982268-2261-4c4d-87c1-8482fe1b962f\">working on a plan to release the remaining goods<\/a> from ports, which it valued at around USD 9.5 bn. Speaking during the ceremony yesterday, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said that authorities have agreed to prioritize the release of USD 4-4.5 bn worth of commodities from ports including those required for manufacturing, reiterating cabinet spokesperson Nader Saad from a day earlier (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cH15YlJeo2Y\">watch, runtime: 5:51<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember:<\/strong> Authorities have pledged to scrap the requirement for businesses to use letters of credit to finance imports <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/afternoons\/pm-taweem-3-0-sees-egp-at-23-03-against-the-greenback\/\">by the end of this month<\/a> as part of its agreement with the IMF to transition to a flexible exchange rate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cabinet will also be publishing a weekly tally for goods released from ports<\/strong>, detailing the amount and types of goods it has released each week, Madbouly said. El Sisi and Madbouly\u2019s statements got attention internationally: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/egypt-banks-help-clear-import-103623769.html\">Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Sisi\u2019s speech was the top story on the airwaves last night<\/strong>, receiving coverage from Kelma Akhira (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G3cGod9vUBs\">watch, runtime: 3:22<\/a>), Masaa DMC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=npA1GMPBxhw%5C\">watch, runtime: 1:44<\/a>), and Al Hayah Al Youm (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IdtPpWjlGD0\">watch, runtime: 2:23<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>MEANWHILE- The heads of the two largest state-owned banks made appearances on the <\/strong><strong>airwaves<\/strong> last night to back up the central bank\u2019s move last week to introduce a limit on overseas FX withdrawals. Banque Misr chief Mohamed Eletreby on Kelma Akhira with Lamees El Hadidi (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lmSNVFgm3Rs\">watch, runtime: 20:01<\/a>) and National Bank of Egypt Chairman Hisham Okasha phoned in to El Hekaya to speak with Amr Adib about the dash for FX (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YnNicJzAQ40\">watch, runtime: 15:35<\/a>).
