What are the long-term structural features of the Egyptian economy?
What are the factors that have facilitated or inhibited its
performance? This crucial and timely work answers these questions
and more by examining the most important economic decisions to have
impacted the Egyptian economy since 1952 and the political factors
behind them. Drawing on Khalid Ikram's extensive knowledge of
economic policymaking at the highest levels, The Political Economy
of Reforms in Egypt, 1952-2015 lays out the enduring features of
the Egyptian economy and its performance since 1952 before
presenting an account of policy-making, growth and structural
change under the country's successive presidents to the present
day. Topics covered include agrarian reforms; the Aswan High Dam;
the move towards Arab socialism and a planned economy; the reversal
of strategy and the infitah; fiscal, monetary, and exchange-rate
policies; consumer subsidies; external debt crises; negotiations
between Egypt and international donors and financial institutions;
privatization; labor and employment; and poverty and income
distribution. The analysis concludes with an examination of
institutional reforms and development strategies to tackle the
Egyptian economy's structural problems and lay the foundation for
sustained and rapid growth. Written from the point of view of a
'participant-observer, ' this book will be indispensable to
students of political economy, to scholars of Egypt and the Middle
East, and to the general reader who wishes to understand,
especially from the wealth of insider information provided, how
domestic and international politics and economics can interact to
shape decisions that promote, or prevent, economic reforms.
