In moments of global turmoil, the strength of countries is not measured by their ability to avoid crises, but rather by their ability to manage them without losing their balance.
The whole world is going through a very volatile phase; Energy markets are turbulent, supply chains are under pressure, and geopolitical tensions are casting a shadow over the entire international economy.
Egypt is not isolated from this wave.
An open economy like Egypt’s is inevitably affected by what happens around it, whether in energy prices, capital movement, or import costs.
But the real difference lies in the ability to withstand and try to absorb shocks instead of breaking in front of them.
The state is trying to manage the scene in exceptional circumstances. A combination of external pressures and internal challenges, with an effort to maintain a delicate balance between protecting economic stability and reducing the burden as much as possible on citizens.
These circumstances may sometimes force difficult decisions, such as repricing certain services or resources.
But such decisions do not arise in a vacuum, but rather are a reflection of a pressing global equation, which the state tries to deal with with the least possible losses.
What remains most important is that this stage pass with the greatest degree of societal cohesion, because experiences have taught us that economic crises, no matter how severe they are, remain passing stages if there is the ability to manage, be patient, and work.
In the end, the steadfastness of countries in difficult times is not made by economic decisions alone, but is also made by society’s awareness of the magnitude of the moment, and its ability to cross together until the storm subsides.
