The
regularity and richness of the annual Nile River flood,
coupled with semi-isolation provided by deserts to the
east and west, allowed for the development of one of the
world's great civilizations. A unified kingdom arose circa
3200 B.C., and a series of dynasties ruled in Egypt for
the next three millennia. The last native dynasty fell
to the Persians in 341 B.C., who in turn were replaced
by the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines. It was the Arabs
who introduced Islam and the Arabic language in the 7th
century and who ruled for the next six centuries. A local
military caste, the Mamluks took control about 1250 and
continued to govern after the conquest of Egypt by the
Ottoman Turks in 1517. Following the completion of the
Suez Canal in 1869, Egypt became an important world transportation
hub, but also fell heavily into debt. Ostensibly to protect
its investments, Britain seized control of Egypt's government
in 1882, but nominal allegiance to the Ottoman Empire
continued until 1914. Partially independent from the UK
in 1922, Egypt acquired full sovereignty with the overthrow
of the British-backed monarchy in 1952. The completion
of the Aswan High Dam in 1971 and the resultant Lake Nasser
have altered the time-honored place of the Nile River
in the agriculture and ecology of Egypt. A rapidly growing
population (the largest in the Arab world), limited arable
land, and dependence on the Nile all continue to overtax
resources and stress society. The government has struggled
to meet the demands of Egypt's growing population through
economic reform and massive investment in communications
and physical infrastructure.

| Occupying
the northeast corner of the African continent, Egypt is
bisected by the highly fertile Nile valley, where most
economic activity takes place. Egypt's economy was highly
centralized during the rule of former President Gamal
Abdel NASSER but has opened up considerably under former
President Anwar EL-SADAT and current President Mohamed
Hosni MUBARAK. Cairo has aggressively pursued economic
reforms to encourage inflows of foreign investment and
facilitate GDP growth. In 2005, Prime Minister Ahmed NAZIF's
government reduced personal and corporate tax rates, reduced
energy subsidies, and privatized several enterprises.
The stock market boomed, and GDP grew about 7% each year
since 2006. Despite these achievements, the government
has failed to raise living standards for the average Egyptian,
and has had to continue providing subsidies for basic
necessities. The subsidies have contributed to a sizeable
budget deficit - roughly 7% of GDP in 2007-08 - and represent
a significant drain on the economy. Foreign direct investment
has increased significantly in the past two years, but
the NAZIF government will need to continue its aggressive
pursuit of reforms in order to sustain the spike in investment
and growth and begin to improve economic conditions for
the broader population. Egypt's export sectors - particularly
natural gas - have bright prospects. |
