Egypt met all other IMF program targets \u2014 including the primary surplus, FX reserves, currency flexibility, and limiting public spending \u2014 apart from divestment. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- <\/strong>The IMF <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/cdb4f3fe-e1c4-4691-9c87-8360a75fc3d1\/%253cmark%253eimf%253c%2Fmark%253e-to-combine-fifth,-sixth-loan-reviews-to-give-egypt-time-to-meet-reform-targets\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">will combine<\/a> the fifth and sixth reviews of our USD 8 bn Extended Fund Facility Arrangement, IMF Communications Director Julie Kozack said last week. A combined review also means a delayed review, which the Fund now expects to take place in the fall \u2014 along with the USD 1.3 bn tranche that the government had been expecting to land in state coffers this month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why haven\u2019t our divestment targets been met? <\/strong>\u201cThere was a specific amount of offerings we had aimed to complete by now. However, due to geopolitical tension in the region and its impact on the investment climate, we decided that moving forward with offerings at the moment would not achieve their fair value,\u201d Madbouly said. \u201cThe priority is not merely meeting targets but ensuring that the state\u2019s assets are utilized to their fullest potential and securing their fair value for Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#2- Implementing the changes to the Old Rent Law: <\/strong>The cabinet held its first meeting to discuss implementing the amended Old Rent Law, according to Madbouly. The Housing Ministry is working on the mechanisms to protect current tenants. A unified electronic platform will launch within a month to register tenant data to gauge the need for state housing \u2014 tenants will have three months to register. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ICYMI- <\/strong>The House <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/06fcda6c-0358-4532-a35b-45644d92424a\/%253cmark%253eold-rent%253c%2Fmark%253e-law-to-be-scrapped-after-seven-year-transitional-period-after-house-green-light\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">gave its final approval<\/a> to the controversial amendments to overhaul decades-old rent law earlier this month. The law sets a seven-year transitional period for residential units and five years for non-residential units rented by individuals. After the transition, tenants must vacate the property, with all old rent regulations scrapped at the end of the period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#3-<\/strong><strong> No plans to sell Rameses Central:<\/strong> Madbouly dismissed rumors that the government plans to sell off the Ramses data center after it caught fire earlier this week. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#4- Reducing road accidents is a priority:<\/strong> Despite Egypt ranking 18 globally when it comes to road quality, accident rates remain above global averages, Madbouly said. The cabinet has tasked relevant ministries with preparing an executive plan to reduce national road accident rates below global averages. <\/p>\n<p
