| Overview : Egypt is at a critical juncture in its development facing various socio-economic challenges following the political transitions since 2011. While the government has made significant progress to its fiscal position by starting the reform of its subsidy system and other tax and fiscal reforms, Egypt needs to continue to restructure its public finance system to stabilize its macro-economic framework.
