Egypt: Egypt, the most populous country in the Middle East, is currently facing a serious economic crisis. People cannot easily buy food and drink and are forced to cut back on basic necessities. The salary of the working class has been halved and people cannot withdraw their own money deposited in banks as banks have banned withdrawals. The country’s currency, the pound, has been heavily devalued, causing inflation to skyrocket. Ahmed Hasan, a 40-year-old accountant living in Shubra, Cairo, told a website that he has three children and it is becoming difficult to support them all amid inflation. Hasan said that when we go shopping, instead of buying three kilos of rice, we can only buy one kilo or half a kilo of rice. We are trying to reduce our costs. But what can we stop buying? Children need many things. Egypt’s currency has depreciated by nearly a third since the end of October 2022, and inflation is currently over 20 percent. Some economists say the situation is worse. They say that currently inflation can be up to 101 percent. Many experts are saying that Egypt is on the heels of Lebanon in the Middle East. Lebanon is facing a serious economic crisis since 2019. The internal problems of the country are responsible for the condition of Egypt.
