Good afternoon, friends, and happy (almost) weekend.<\/strong> We hope you\u2019re staying warm, dry, and indoors as the weather throws us for a loop. With schools off, universities going digital, and the government mulling remote work to conserve energy, we\u2019re left with one thought: What if we didn\u2019t have to hit the road five days a week?<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s issue, we explore the four-day workweek model<\/strong> \u2014 its viability, logistics, and whether we could ever see such a shift take place in Om El Donia. Also today: We have a book recommendation for you to curl up with under your favorite blanket tonight.<\/p>\n

PSA \u2014 If you\u2019re catching an EgyptAir flight tonight or tomorrow<\/strong>, be sure to arrive at the airport four hours early for international departures and three hours early for domestic travel. The national carrier issued a formal advisory<\/a> this morning, citing unstable weather conditions expected to persist through tomorrow, Thursday, 26 March.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY TODAY-<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd A new incentive scheme will offer tiered corporate income tax reductions over <\/strong>three years to companies that list on the EGX<\/strong>, a senior government official tells EnterpriseAM. Under the recently agreed-on plan, newly listed companies will receive a 30% reduction on payable corporate income tax in their first year, followed by 20% in the second year, and 10% in the third.<\/p>\n

Eligibility will be conditional on maintaining the listing over the three years<\/strong> and hitting y-o-y revenue growth prior to each year\u2019s tax reduction. The companies will also have to keep up to date with listing and disclosure requirements from the Financial Regulatory Authority, including quarterly reports and the payment of listing-related costs.<\/p>\n

^^ We\u2019ll have more on this story in tomorrow\u2019s edition of EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD-<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf10 A potential end to the US-Iran war sent oil prices down 5% this <\/strong>afternoon<\/strong> after Iran received US President Donald Trump\u2019s 15-point peace plan.
