Apart from Amr Adib, who was still glowing after his Messi interview, the topics that pervaded the airwaves last night were SMEs and (you guessed it) prices.

Amr Adib spent the better part of last night’s Kol Youm on tourism. Adib pressed the point that not enough is being done to pick up the slump in tourism, adding that the key to this was ratcheting up promotion campaigns — an otherwise brilliant idea had it not been the Tourism Ministry’s main strategy since 2011 (watch, runtime:13:41). Tourism Development Authority head Hisham El Demery raised the point that, regardless of the turmoil and security threat, the biggest obstacle facing the government was a lack of a long-term vision, something that the ministry is looking to rectify (watch, runtime: 5:28).

He then moved on to talk food prices (watch, runtime: 4:28), and ran a report members of the House of Representatives meeting with entrepreneurs in Fayoum (watch, runtime: 3: 37)

SMEs were also discussed on Al Hayah Al Youm’s Tamer Amin, who spoke on the growth of the National Bank of Egypt’s loan portfolio to SMEs with the bank’s head of retail banking Hazem Hegazy (watch, runtime: 2:24).

It was prices of meds that topped discussions on Yahduth fi Masr. Host Sherif Amer spoke with Health Ministry spokesperson Khaled Megahed on how the ministry plans to provide insulin free of charge to those who cannot afford it at the new prices at public hospitals.

Lamees Al Hadidi was off last night.
