Egypt, though known around the world for its historical legacies and for its pyramids, is experiencing a deep economic crisis. The country's foreign currency reserves are less than half of what they were before the 2011 uprising that threatened Egypt's ability to pay for its own food and fuel. We see this economic crisis in Egypt's budget deficit; 14 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) and we see it in its overall debt. Many attribute Egypt’s debt to the deficits that accumulated which averaged more than the country's economic output. We can also see the country’s economic crisis in the fact that approximately 45% of Egyptians live on less than two dollars per day, in the fact that their inflation reached a high of over 12% after the

    ...al deficit that according a paper from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is made up of "institutions that influence the work of the bureaucracy, institutions that shape politicians' behaviour by punishing or rewarding certain types of behaviour – influencing the accountability and transparency of politicians – and institutions that widen political space and participation for Egyptian citizens" (Alissa). Economically, “the price of basic food supplies such as meat, grain, rice, and sugar has doubled over the past few years, while simultaneously, real wages are falling” (Goodman). Because of this the Egyptian people became malcontented and frustrated with their lives. Overall, while the majority of the long term causes were economic or political in nature, technological developments remained a steady undercurrent that carried these other causes forward.

  • Challenges of Development in Sumer and Egypt

    980 Words  | 2 Pages

    An analysis of the two civilizations, Sumer and Egypt reveals one challenge facing human social development: geography and environmental features tend to shape the patterns of civilizations. Although the civilization of Sumer was prosperous and powerful, its geographical features ultimately weakened Sumer, exposing its vulnerability to invasion by neighboring civilizations. Egypt was similar to Mesopotamian civilizations in many ways, but Egypt’s distinct differences led to a distinguished social systems: government, economic, and religion that contributed to the seemingly endless prosperity of the Egyptians.

  • The Egyptian Military Coup In Egypt

    1194 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Egyptian military coup engineered by General Al-Sisi on July 3, 2013 presented a dilemma to the United States government on whether it should continue supporting the regime or cut ties with Egypt. The country has been a long-term ally of the US and one of the biggest recipients of US military and economic aid. However, after the coup by General Al-Sisi, the military regime has often violated fundamental human rights and freedoms especially for the citizens considered sympathetic for the previous regime of President Mohammed Morsi. Despite the widespread human rights violation, the US government as well as the Congress has continued to support the military regime through extending aid to the country. The rationale behind continued support to the Egyptian government is to promote US interests as outlined in its foreign policy agenda. This discussion explores the issues surrounding the military coup by General Al-Sisi and highlights why the US government have continued to support the Egyptian military despite allegations of widespread human rights violations.

    888 Words  | 2 Pages

    Egypt is one of the most beautiful countries. It is the oldest tourist destination on earth. Nowadays, tourism is one of the most important industries and it is the leader in providing new jobs to decrease the unemployment rate. It involves a range of organizations, businesses and government agencies working together complementary to each other. After January 25th, the rates of tourism has decreased in Egypt due to many reasons. It has been proven that tourist’s number has fallen from 14 million in 2010 to 10.2 million in 2013. According to (Tourism in Egypt: A slow recovery- CNN.com) “The world Economic Forum has just declared Egypt one of the most dangerous places on earth for tourists.

    ...reasing trade liberalization. This includes policies such as tarrif reductions, which have lead to expansions of many economic sectors, which in turn have reduced inequality for urban and rural skilled men, as well as for women (gender inequality) and has seen increased employment opportunites for women. However, the success of such policies in reducing inequality had its limitations, as at the same time there has been an increase in inequality for unskilled men and for skilled women in rural areas (Chahir & Zaki 2012). It can be said that such trade liberalization policies are partially responsible for Egypt’s declining income inequality as the expansion of certain sectors has reduced gender inequality and inequality between rural and urban areas, while increasing inequality for men who are unskilled and skilled women in rural areas.
