Uprising costs Egypt $9.79 billion: Geopolicity Report - Economy - Business - Ahram Online - 0 views

  •  
    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.

  • The Popular Campaign to Drop Egypt’s Debt issued a statement Thursday opposing the IMF loan and questioning the lack of information about “the extent to which the Egyptian economy needs this massive amount of dollars.” The group protested that there had been no discussion of alternative ways of financing public spending, adding that the government had obtained foreign loans amounting to $6 billion over the past year without any democratic oversight. Governments appointed by the military since the revolution had also borrowed record amounts from Egyptian banks, it said, and “it is not known how they were spent.”
