Download or read book Egypt And The Politics Of U s Economic Aid written by Marvin G. Weinbaum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massive U.S. economic aid program for Egypt initiated in 1975 resulted in a bilateral aid relationship shaped by the interaction of political and development goals. In this study of the program's origins and consequences, Professor Weinbaum describes its scope and identifies the constraints that delayed and limited program implementation. The author discusses the modest U.S. leverage designed to encourage economic reforms and argues that far-reaching reforms could only be attained through a major change in Egypt's political structure. He finds that, despite its failure to make Egypt more economically self-reliant, U.S. assistance has enabled the country to attain a level of consumption and development planning possible with no other alternative. The profit to the United States results from the regime's moderate foreign policies and compatible views on strategic threats to the region. Despite the mutual benefits of this aid program, Professor Weinbaum concludes that the United States must display greater sensitivity to Egypt's political and economic problems if the "special relationship" is to survive through the 1980s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. assistance to Egypt has become a political symbol of evenhanded support among the Middle East adversaries. The economic impact of U.S. assistance depends on Egypt's development of economic reforms. The U.S. programs provide long term benefits through development projects. Short term balance-of-payment relief is provided through the Commodity Import Program and food aid. The most serious impediment to Egypt's development is its difficulty in mobilizing domestic resources. Egypt's accelerated development program will require it to stretch financial, material, and organizational resources to the limit. This could have a destabilizing effect if development is not accompanied by sound budgetary management.

Download or read book The Impact of International Monetary Fund and World Bank Involvement on the Economic Development of Egypt written by Mozika Maloba and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their establishment in 1945 as part of the post-World War II international economic order, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been funding development projects and programs around the world. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been one of the primary arenas of World Bank and IMF activity. Structural adjustment loans (SALs) created by the World Bank and the IMF were developed to assist developing countries with their current account deficits and development projects by providing financing over a period of several years. These loans came with conditionalities vis-a-vis restructuring of tariffs, subsidies, public employment, and other state spending and budgeting matters. The professed goal of these projects and their conditionalities is to strengthen the receiving country’s balance of payments while encouraging economic growth and development. Over the past forty or so years, such programs have effectively encouraged the unraveling of state-centered economies with the objective of turning them into market-based ones, ultimately-according to their spokespersons-improving efficiency, encouraging growth, and advancing development. However, these programs have faced criticism centered primarily around the macroeconomic structural adjustment conditionalities that many argue sacrifice growth instead of encouraging it. The past plus-forty years of such policies offers ample empirical data to explore the legitimacy of those criticisms and assess the long-term effects of the IMF and World Bank-sponsored programs. As one of the most celebrated cases by both institutions, and one of the earliest and largest recipients of World Bank and IMF development assistance, Egypt offers an excellent case study through which to anchor such assessment and analysis.

Book excerpt: Assessing Aid determines that the effectiveness of aid is not decided by the amount received but rather the institutional and policy environment into which it is accepted. It examines how development assistance can be more effective at reducing global poverty and gives five mainrecommendations for making aid more effective: targeting financial aid to poor countries with good policies and strong economic management; providing policy-based aid to demonstrated reformers; using simpler instruments to transfer resources to countries with sound management; focusing projects oncreating and transmitting knowledge and capacity; and rethinking the internal incentives of aid agencies.

Download or read book OECD Development Pathways Production Transformation Policy Review of Egypt Embracing Change Achieving Prosperity written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt is one of Africa’s industrial heavyweights. Transforming the country's economy to sustain job-rich and sustainable growth are pivotal steps in its march towards prosperity. Today’s search for new development models, accelerated by the unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic, calls for shifting up a gear in raising Egypt’s industrial capabilities to compete in an industry 4.0 and agro 4.0 landscape. The Production Transformation Policy Review (PTPR) of Egypt uses a forward-looking framework to assess the country's readiness to embrace change. This includes an analysis of the game-changing potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and perspectives on agro-food and electronics (i.e. what in Egypt is referred to as part of the engineering sector), as well as identifying priorities for future reforms. This review is the result of government-business dialogue, and benefited from peer learning from Italy and Malaysia. It also resulted from international and multi-stakeholder knowledge sharing through a dedicated Peer Learning Group (PLG) and the OECD Initiative for Policy Dialogue on Global Value Chains, Production Transformation and Development.

Download or read book Inside Inequality in the Arab Republic of Egypt written by Paolo Verme and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside Inequality in the Arab Republic of Egypt: Facts and Perceptions Across People, Time, and Space comprises four papers prepared in the framework of the Egypt inequality study financed by the World Bank. The first paper, by Sherine Al-Shawarby, reviews the studies on inequality in Egypt since the 1950s with the double objective of illustrating the importance attributed to inequality through time and of presenting and compare the main published statistics on inequality. The second paper, by Branko Milanovic, turns to the global and spatial dimensions of inequality. The Egyptian society remains deeply divided across space and in terms of welfare, and this study unveils some of the hidden features of this inequality. The third paper, by Paolo Verme, studies facts and perceptions of inequality during the 2000-2009 period, which preceded the Egyptian revolution. The fourth paper, by Sahar El Tawila, May Gadallah, and Enas Ali A.El-Majeed, assesses the state of poverty and inequality among the poorest villages of Egypt. The paper attempts to explain the level of inequality in an effort to disentangle those factors that derive from household abilities from those factors that derive from local opportunities. Inside Inequality in the Arab Republic of Egypt provides some initial elements that could explain the apparent mismatch between inequality measured with household surveys and inequality aversion measured by values surveys. This is a particularly important and timely topic to address in light of the unfolding developments in the Arab region. The book should be of interest to any observer of the political and economic evolution of the Arab region in the past few years and to poverty and inequality specialists interested in a deeper understanding of the distribution of incomes in Egypt and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa region.
