MoreLong description:
The Oxford Handbook of the Egyptian Economy offers a comprehensive and timely analysis of Egypt's development trajectory, aiming to inform forward-looking policies grounded in evidence and multidimensional research. At its core lies a single guiding question: What would it take to unlock Egypt's full development potential in a way that is more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient to future shocks? The book brings together contributions from over 70 leading experts, researchers, and practitioners to examine the key drivers of Egypt's economic and social outcomes. Structured into six thematic parts, the Handbook delves into the country's macroeconomic fundamentals, sectoral reforms, environmental challenges, and human development priorities. The final section examines institutional reform, governance, social capital, and the megatrends shaping the country's long-term future. This should prove invaluable for government officials, multilateral organizations, academic researchers, students, development practitioners, and all those interested in understanding Egypt's path toward sustainable development.
I had the privilege of working on Egypt as Vice President of the World Bank for the Middle East and North Africa, and I know both its vast potential and its persistent challenges. In this important volume, Mahmoud Mohieldin, Marcelo Giugale, Racha Ramadan and their colleagues bring remarkable clarity and candor to Egypt's development story, while charting a credible path toward a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future. Their work is both a sober reminder of the obstacles and an inspiring guide to what Egypt can achieve with bold reform.
