Dr. Mohamed Maait, Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund and representative of the Arab Group, said that the financing program agreed upon with Egypt is approaching its final stages, noting that the greatest importance currently is focused on the content of the Fund’s statement issued regarding the results of the fifth and sixth reviews.
Maait explained during television statements that the positive statement reflects the IMF’s confidence that the Egyptian state is on the right path towards restoring financial stability and moving to the stage of comprehensive and sustainable growth, which is what investors, international financial institutions and global markets are anticipating.

He pointed out that the statement included a number of targets during the last year of the program, foremost of which is reducing debt rates and continuing to decline in inflation to approach the Central Bank’s targets of 7%, plus or minus 2%.
The Executive Director of the IMF confirmed that the most difficult stage of economic reforms has ended, and there are no new requirements related to liberalizing prices or additional measures that would impose new burdens on citizens, explaining that the primary goal in the next stage is to achieve stability and the emergence of the results of the reform on the ground and their direct impact on the lives of citizens.
