National Veal Project funding exceeds EGP 9.5bn, supporting over 44,800 beneficiaries: Agriculture Minister
Alaa Farouk, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, announced that total funding for Egypt's National Veal Project has surpassed EGP 9.5bn, providing vital support to more than 44,800 beneficiaries. The initiative has enabled the rearing and fattening of over 518,000 head of livestock, significantly boosting meat and dairy production across the country. The Minister confirmed that the project's Board of Directors recently approved EGP 275.885m in new funding. This latest allocation will support 393 additional beneficiaries, primarily small-scale breeders and young graduates, and will cover 3,929 head of livestock. With this expansion, the project's cumulative funding now exceeds EGP 9.565bn. The National Veal Project supports both meat production through calves and milk production through high-yielding heifers, aiming to improve food security and stabilize prices for red meat and dairy products. The project is part of the broader Decent Life presidential initiative, launched by President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi to uplift rural communities and enhance the livelihoods of small farmers. Minister Farouk emphasized the project's role in ensuring the availability of affordable red meat for consumers while supporting local producers. He highlighted the ongoing field follow-ups conducted by dedicated committees from the Livestock and Poultry Development Sector and the General Authority for Veterinary Services. These efforts, in cooperation with agricultural and veterinary directorates across governorates, aim to provide comprehensive veterinary care and on-the-ground support to resolve challenges faced by project participants. Mostafa El-Sayyad, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, noted that pre-financing inspections are conducted in coordination with the Agricultural Bank of Egypt and the National Bank of Egypt. These inspections ensure beneficiaries have suitable facilities for livestock before receiving funding. Once animals are delivered, they are insured under the Livestock Insurance Fund at a subsidized rate, granting breeders access to essential support services. Tarek Suleiman, Head of the Livestock and Poultry Development Sector, encouraged interested individuals to apply through their nearest agricultural office, or branches of the Agricultural Bank of Egypt and the National Bank of Egypt, which have a wide presence across governorates. Applications can also be made directly through the Livestock and Poultry Development Sector.

Gold Rises Locally and Globally Supported by Dollar Decline and Trade Talks Anticipation
Waleed Farouk Gold prices rose in local markets by mid-day trading on Monday, in tandem with gains in global bullion prices, driven by a weaker U.S. dollar and anticipation of trade talks between the United States and China. Local gold prices increased by EGP 20 during today's trading session compared to the close of last week on Saturday evening. The price of 21-karat gold reached EGP 4,680 per gram, while the global ounce price climbed by approximately $27 to reach $3,337. The price of 24-karat gold recorded EGP 5,349 per gram, 18-karat gold reached EGP 4,012 per gram, 14-karat gold hit EGP 3,120, and the gold pound (8 grams of 21k) recorded EGP 37,440. Last week, local gold prices rose by EGP 60. The 21-karat gold gram opened trading at EGP 4,600, peaked at EGP 4,720, and closed the week at EGP 4,660. Meanwhile, the global ounce price increased by $20, starting at $3,290, peaking at $3,403, and closing at $3,310. Today's price surge is supported by the U.S. dollar's decline, as investors remain cautious ahead of the ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. The U.S. dollar index dropped by 0.2%, making dollar-denominated gold more affordable for holders of other currencies, thus increasing its appeal. This comes as senior U.S. and Chinese officials meet in London to discuss the reciprocal tariffs imposed earlier this year and other trade restrictions. Last month, both sides agreed to a temporary pause, offering some relief to the markets. Gold is traditionally seen as a safe haven during times of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, and its appeal is further enhanced in low-interest rate environments as it yields no income. Meanwhile, recent U.S. jobs data showed the addition of 139,000 jobs in May, surpassing expectations. The unemployment rate remained at 4.2%, and wages continued to rise — reducing the likelihood of an imminent interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Upcoming U.S. inflation data this week could influence the Fed's stance on interest rates. A cooling inflation trend could bolster gold, especially amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with the continued weakness of the U.S. dollar. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is scheduled to announce its interest rate decision on June 17–18. Some analysts suggest that any unexpected resolution in political conflicts or the signing of trade agreements could exert downward pressure on gold prices. However, gold continues to enjoy strong investment demand, fueled by central bank purchases and investors' desire for hedging, according to several leading financial analysts. In a related context, markets are closely watching this week's inflation data, starting with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Wednesday, followed by the Producer Price Index (PPI) and jobless claims on Thursday, and finally the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index on Friday. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
