Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The IMF has tied its financial support to economic reforms, which Egypt has been implementing, including divestment programs. The country's improved fiscal performance and falling sovereign risk premium have led to increased investor confidence and the resumption of international debt market activity.
