Book excerpt: Abstract: The funding of large-scale high-risk infrastructure projects is of growing importance in Egypt. The Government of Egypt (GoE) partners with several International Financial Institutions (IFIs) to secure the funding of infrastructure projects that are essential to supporting sustainable development. The World Bank is one of the largest IFIs that support infrastructure projects in Egypt. The World Bank Group is formed of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), and the International Development Association (IDA). The IBRD and the IDA form “The World Bank”. The Bank provides three main financing instruments, namely Development Policy Finance (DPF), Investment Project Finance (IPF), and the relatively recently proposed Program-for-Results (P-for-R). The latter two are currently used to support an array of infrastructure projects dispersed in a variety of developing nations. The aim of this research is to compare between IPF and P-for-R funding mechanisms and to propose a framework for the selection of the best-suited instrument for any given infrastructure project in Egypt. Structured interviews are conducted with 21 international experts working on World Bank financed projects in Egypt in order to identify the criteria for the optimum selection of finance methods, risks associated with different infrastructure projects, and which instrument better addresses each of these risks. It was found that IPF better addresses risks related to Technical Design and Implementation, while P-for-R is better suited for Institutional Capacity and Sector Strategy risks. The outcome of the interviews and the existing literature are analyzed to develop a 4-step framework for the selection of the optimum finance instrument. The developed framework includes a logistic regression model that matches the risk profile of a given project with the most appropriate instrument. Finally, the framework is applied on two case studies in Egypt in order to assess its validity. The first case study, the SRSSP is a sanitation program funded through P-for-R which was confirmed by the devised framework to be the better–suited tool for the nature of the project. The performance of SRSSP was compared to the performance of 2 very similar projects that were funded through IPF and it was verified that the performance of the P-for-R funded SRSSP is more satisfactory. The framework as then applied on another case study which is the GNPP. The GNPP is an IPF project which also matches the output of the framework and its performance has been assessed as satisfactory by the World Bank. It was concluded that the output of developed framework is valid and it can effectively support the selection of the best-suited funding instrument for a given infrastructure project in Egypt.

Download or read book Connected in Cairo written by Mark Allen Peterson and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For members of Cairo's upper classes, cosmopolitanism is a form of social capital, deployed whenever they acquire or consume transnational commodities, or goods that are linked in the popular imagination to other, more "modern" places. In a series of thickly described and carefully contextualized case studies—of Arabic children's magazines, Pokémon, private schools and popular films, coffee shops and fast-food restaurants—Mark Allen Peterson describes the social practices that create class identities. He traces these processes from childhood into adulthood, examining how taste and style intersect with a changing educational system and economic liberalization. Peterson reveals how uneasy many cosmopolitan Cairenes are with their new global identities, and describes their efforts to root themselves in the local through religious, nationalist, or linguistic practices.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook on Contemporary Egypt written by Robert Springborg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating key features of contemporary Egypt, this volume includes Egypt’s modern history, politics, economics, the legal system, environment, and its media and modes of cultural expression. It examines Egypt’s capacities to meet developmental challenges, ranging from responding to globalization and regional competition to generating sufficient economic growth and political inclusion to accommodate the interests and demands of a rapidly growing population. The macrohistory of Egypt is complemented by the microhistories of specific institutions and processes that constitute separate sections in this handbook. The chapters revolve around political economy: it is shaped by the people and their abilities, political and legal institutions, organization of the economy, natural and built environments, and culture and communication. Politics has been overwhelmingly authoritarian and coercive since the military seized power in 1952; consequently, the contributions address both the causes and consequences of unbalanced civil–military relations, military rule, and persisting authoritarianism in the political society. This multidisciplinary handbook serves a dual purpose of introducing readers to Egypt’s history and contemporary political economy and as a comprehensive key resource for postgraduate students and academics interested in modern Egypt.
Download or read book The Report Egypt 2013 written by Oxford Business Group and published by Oxford Business Group. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab world’s second-largest economy, and its largest population, Egypt has endured more than three years of political and economic turbulence which have slowed its performance, but its long-term fundamentals remain strong. Egypt has been through a turbulent time, but still manages to churn out headline growth higher than the Eurozone. Still, an economy that was growing at a rate of 7% has given way to a more modest GDP expansion of 2.2% in the 2011/12 fiscal year, following the ousting of Mubarak, while foreign direct investment fell by two-thirds over the same period. The figures are likely to remain subdued in the near term but there have been some improvements in cyclical performance, particularly with the country’s capital markets, as 2012 saw Egypt’s exchange grow by 51% year-on-year. More importantly, the country still benefits from significant competitive advantages, including a strong trade profile, a large private sector, a sizable manufacturing base and favourable demographics.
