the Oxford Handbook of Egyptian Economy

What would it take to unleash a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable Egypt? The Oxford Handbook of the Egyptian Economy answers this question by providing in-depth research on every corner of the country's development puzzle. The volume concludes with an assessment of megatrends and disruptors. 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.
