商品描述

There is a significant discrepancy between the population of Egypt and the GDP of this country. This book offers pragmatic policy prescriptions for Egyptian decision-makers. It provides a path forward and toward a better future for the Egyptian people. The country faces challenges with household income, social welfare, productivity, and many other markers of twenty-first century economic success even vis-à-vis other developing country peers.
This book focuses on framing the optimal macroeconomic policy agenda for Egypt in the face of the big global, regional and national forces that are being accelerated, intensified or changed by the COVID-19 crisis rather than on specific sectoral policy formulations. The authors present these big questions in the context of showing how Egypt can best navigate the risks and seize the opportunities of the current period of intense flux and transition, to put itself in the best possible position to create prosperity, stability, and hope for its citizens. The authors examine to what extent the Egyptian authorities can fulfill their ambitious development plans and in producing this work, to provide useful lessons that can be applied to other governments struggling to respond to the challenges of the age.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

埃及的人口與該國的國內生產總值(GDP)之間存在顯著的差異。本書為埃及的決策者提供了務實的政策建議,為埃及人民指引了一條通往更美好未來的道路。該國在家庭收入、社會福利、生產力以及其他許多二十一世紀經濟成功的指標上面臨挑戰,即使與其他發展中國家的同儕相比也是如此。

本書專注於在全球、區域和國內的重大力量面前,為埃及框定最佳的宏觀經濟政策議程,這些力量因COVID-19危機而加速、加劇或改變,而非具體的行業政策制定。作者在展示埃及如何最佳應對當前劇烈變化和過渡期的風險與機遇的背景下,提出了這些重大問題,以使埃及能夠處於最佳位置,為其公民創造繁榮、穩定和希望。作者探討了埃及當局在多大程度上能夠實現其雄心勃勃的發展計劃,並在撰寫本書的過程中,提供可供其他面臨時代挑戰的政府借鑒的有用經驗教訓。
