Egypt's Revolution has cost the country, up to September, US$9.79 billion, according to a report issued by consultancy group Geopolicity. Titled "The cost of the Arab spring & Roadmap for G20/UN support", the report shows results of a costing exercise undertaken by Geopolicity, based on data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It accounts for the impact of productivity losses on GDP and public finance, but excludes losses to human life, infrastructure damage and business and foreign direct investment losses. The near 10 billion dollars shed by Egypt are divided among the $4.27 billion cost to GDP and $5.52 billion in lost public finances.

Egypt has a budget deficit of nearly 10 percent of GDP and the finance minister recently said that the country is on the brink of a liquidity crisis. Meanwhile, economic growth has slowed since the uprising, decreasing government revenues, while public sector workers around the country are striking to raise wages that have been stagnant for decades.
