Egypt
The Challenge
Egypt's international trade revenues continued to increase in 2004 and 2005 which drove a second consecutive year of improvement in economic performance. Real gross domestic product rate growth increased from 2.7% in Egypt’s FY 2004 to almost 5% in FY 2005, which ended June 2005. However, approximately 40% of the 71.8 million people still live below the poverty line. Egypt suffers from a high chronic unemployment rate of 15% - 25% and a lack of public participation in political life. In response, USAID aims to restore business confidence and improve the environment to stimulate rapid, private sector-led growth, attract investment, and create jobs. Additional assistance is provided for financial sector reform, privatization, and measures that address the banking sector's large non-performing loan burden. USAID also supports educational reform; strengthens the administration of, and access to, justice for women and disadvantaged groups; and promotes decentralized governance.
