It’s all about the new administrative capital

The inauguration of the first phase of the new administrative capital was front and center on the airwaves last night.

On Masaa DMC, Osama Kamal shared his enthusiasm about the project with viewers, saying he expects the new capital to attract significant investment as well as more expats (watch, runtime 7:38). He said there was a “long waiting list of investors wanting to participate in new capital projects”(watch, runtime 5:34).

While on Kol Youm, Amr Adib attempted to clarify that the new capital will not be home only to the wealthy (watch, runtime 7:01).

Adib also hosted the CEO of online employment website Shaghalni, Omar Khalifa, who said his platform now hosts around 80k job seekers, up from 500 when it was first launched. He said that some 5,000 companies use his website to find staff (watch, runtime 2:19).
