It was another night of miscellany on the airwaves,<\/strong> featuring lots of self-love from the government on unemployment rates and the \u2018profits\u2019 of state-owned enterprises as well as more on rail upgrades \u2014 and sugar, of all things.<\/p>\n

Transport Minister Hisham Arafat is still in the hot seat, and the need to attract fresh <\/strong>private-sector investment for the nation\u2019s railways is a key talking point.<\/strong> He told Al Nahar Al Youm\u2019s Khaled Salah that legislation is needed to allow private sector participation in upgrades to railway infrastructure, which is necessary because the state doesn\u2019t have the resources to do it all on its own (watch, runtime 16:22<\/a>).<\/p>\n

On Masaa DMC, Osama Kamal spoke to Manpower Minister Mohamed Saafan about the unemployment rate easing to 11.98% in 2Q2017<\/strong> from 12% in the first quarter, marking the first time since 2011 unemployment has fallen below 12%. Saafan unsurprisingly credits national projects and the ability to ministries to work together for the improvement in the unemployment gauge \u2014 and promises that soon-to-launch training programs will somehow create more jobs in 2017 (watch, runtime 6:46<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The magical profitability of SOCs: <\/strong>Kamal also interviewed Public Enterprises Minister Ashraf El Sharkawy, who said that ministry-affiliated companies reeled in about EGP 6 bn in profits in FY2016-17, compared to losses of EGP 323 mn the year before (watch, runtime 6:36<\/a>). No less than 73 loss-making companies turned profitable over the last fiscal year, the minister said, promising the inexorable march of progress would continue under a new plan to restructure the sector (watch, runtime 4:47<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Gov\u2019t importing sugar again: <\/strong>Over on TEN TV, Amr Abdel Hamid and Supply Ministry Spokesperson Mamdouh Ramadan chatted about a newly-contracted 850k tonnes of imported sugar meant to prevent any potential market shortages. Ramadan said that Egypt produces 2.2 mn tonnes of sugar a year and consumes about 3.2 mn tonnes (watch, runtime 3:38<\/a>).<\/p>\n

And on Yahduth fi Misr, Sherif Amer was reduced to speaking with a housing ministry spokesperson about the great welcome accorded to Sakan Masr \u2014 marking the 9,123,987th time this year that one talk show or another has aired a soft feature on a state-backed affordable-housing project<\/strong>. Talking point received, folks.<\/p>\n
