Mindful of its need to deliver on social services and benefits, the government will press on with its programme of economic reform, aimed at raising living standards and creating jobs. The Economist Intelligence Unit expects the government's fiscal policy to remain strongly expansionary in fiscal year 2009/10 (July-June), despite falling tax receipts. 56eba45e503fdf69aba449cd01888193Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/country_report_egypt_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Against a backdrop of slower growth, the regime will begin to prepare the ground for the parliamentary election in 2010, but there will be outbursts of social unrest as the poor suffer from the worsening economic conditions. Mindful of its need to deliver on social services and benefits, the government will press on with its programme of economic reform, aimed at raising living standards and creating jobs.

We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. c51883fe721c0b9db8a44ca9281d1ee9Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/egypt_infrastructure_report_q4_2009.htmlEgypt seems to be weathering the global economic slowdown better than anybody, including its government, expected. The government said in August that its deficit for the fiscal year that ended in June was 6. 9% of GDP, better than most forecasts, despite a big increase in public spending to offset the slowdown elsewhere. 86e32577a9cce1ea6cb9a239a0f8fa74Sat, 08 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/egypt_business_forecast_report_q4_2009.htmlThe Succession And Stability Question Times remain hard as we head towards the end of the year. The economic slowdown is of particular concern given the unemployment rate and relatively tense domestic political situation. The global economic situation shows some signs of improvement - we have upgraded our forecast for US GDP growth in 2009, from -3. 04721ed43f3b30191c331b57f827f286Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/taiwan_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlTaiwan has been severely rocked by the slowdown in the global economy due to island's heavy reliance on external demand and cyclically sensitive sectors such as electronics. However, the overarching theme of warming relations with mainland China has provided a partial counterweight to the gloom, raising the prospect of significant investment flows and synergies down the line - which foreign investors will be keen not to miss out on. Nonetheless, in the near term the challenges facing the administration of President Ma Ying-jeou are stark, with unemployment in record high territory and many sectors in the economy still hunkering down. e6a52532853a7db6791acc8fc21dbc90Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/country_report_egypt_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A slowdown in the domestic economy, which will disproportionately affect the poor, is likely to exacerbate social discontent, sparking sporadic outbursts of unrest over the next 12 months. The government will continue to press ahead with its programme of economic reform, aimed at raising living standards and creating jobs. In fiscal year 2008/09 (July-June) tax receipts will hold up, but the Economist Intelligence Unit expects the fiscal deficit to widen markedly in 2009/10 as the fiscal stimulus package is carried forward and tax revenue growth slows. 67522b7694606e803292e7abe784c2f5Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/country_report_egypt_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A slowdown in the domestic economy, which will disproportionately affect the poor, is likely to exacerbate social discontent, sparking sporadic outbursts of unrest over the next 12 months.

It is hoped that by boosting the construction industry, will in turn provide jobs and increase consumer spending. 9eed75c84f74ac7c3b301ce2480dc6ddSat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/country_report_egypt_march_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A slowdown in the domestic economy is likely to exacerbate social discontent (which was fuelled by high prices for staple goods during 2008), sparking sporadic outbursts of unrest over the next 12 months. The government will continue to press ahead with its programme of economic reform, aimed at raising living standards and creating jobs. In fiscal year 2008/09 (July-June) tax receipts will hold up, but the Economist Intelligence Unit maintains its forecast that the fiscal deficit will widen, as public spending on social services rises as the economy slows. 11b9460097fadf195c6d126c291971c7Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/egypt_infrastructure_report_q1_2009.htmlWe have revised down our forecasts for construction sector growth this quarter, due to the deteriorating global economic environment. Egypt is not as vulnerable as some regional countries to the current negative global trends, but it is by no means escaping unscathed. The Daily News Egypt quotes government statistics as saying that 200,000 jobs were lost in 2008, and with growth slowing sharply, we would expect to see more cost-cutting in the private sector, translating into more job losses - probably in the real estate/construction, tourism and export-oriented industries. afa9426b42a78782ac4da57629abc9f0Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/egypt_business_forecast_report_q2_2009.htmlInauspicious Start to 2009. . . But No Disasters Ahead Egypt has not had a particularly auspicious start to 2009: the Israeli strikes on Gaza have put the government under huge pressure, the stock market has continued to fall, and even by the finance ministry's estimations the economy is going to perform much worse this year. 5575bf902f9de1f76218e354d9ca77d8Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/country_report_egypt_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A slowdown in the domestic economy is likely to exacerbate social discontent (which has been fuelled by high prices for staple goods during 2008), sparking sporadic outbursts of unrest over the next 12 months.

The rise of the Muslim Brothers as a major political force, following success parliamentary elections in 2005, continues to test the Mubarak regime's stomach for a liberalisation of the political process. This is highlighted by the fact that, using state of emergency regulations, the authorities continue to hold around 18,000 people in prison without charges. e7ab7210ab5b92af0dfb0c16c986bb29Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypthttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/egypt/country_report_egypt_november_2008.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A slowdown in the domestic economy will exacerbate social discontent, which has been fuelled by high prices for staple goods during 2008, sparking sporadic outbursts of demonstrations and unrest over the next 12 months. The government will continue to press ahead with its programme of economic reform, aimed at raising living standards and creating employment. A generous wage package for civil servants and increased food subsidies could lead to a worsening of the public finances in fiscal year 2008/09, especially if the economy slows by more than the government forecasts. 61f0c4f26c54c0d55800d9c3337815c9Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Egypt
