Lamees El Hadidi was the only person worth listening to on the airwaves last night, thanks to her recap of the biggest stories over the weekend.

First up, inflation: Kelma Akhira was the only show to spotlight last month’s terrible inflation figures, which saw prices accelerate at their quickest rate in more than five-and-a-half years. El Hadidi discussed what the data might mean for interest rates later this month, noting expectations among some for a huge 300-bps hike. Others believe that an increase won’t be needed, she said, without providing further information (watch, runtime: 5:36).

Egypt’s decision to exit the global grain pact also got some airtime: “According to analyses, we decided to exit the multinational Grains Trade Convention (GTC) seeing that it doesn’t really add much to the Egyptian state,” Assistant Supply Minister Ibrahim Ashmawy told Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 9:09). He pointed to a number of other countries who also decided to exit the convention, including those in Latin America and the Far East, without disclosing any countries. Ashmawy also joined Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 6:56)

Banking expert Mohamed Abdel Aal also joined Kelma Akhira to talk about internet scams and how they spread (watch, runtime: 6:42)
