Last Night’s Talk Shows: El Sisi’s promise to investors + Our smart green initiative
El Sisi’s pledge to sort out the major problems plaguing investors in two months' time kept the talking heads busy for the night. “I predict that our import issues will be resolved within two months seeing as we are awaiting the IMF agreement, which will give us a clearer idea on the price of the EGP instead of its current instability,” said Kelma Akhira’s Lamees El Hadidi (watch, runtime: 3:39). “[The IMF agreement] will also inject some money [into Egypt] and help us attract hard currency into the country,” Lamees said. Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 4:24) and Al Hadath Al Youm (watch, runtime 1:54) also had coverage. We have the full story in this morning’s news well, above.
History’s even better when it’s available at no charge: Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 1:50) and Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 3:49) covered the long queues seen outside the Egyptian Museum yesterday thanks to the Tourism Ministry waiving entry fees to mark World Tourism Day.
