IMF to rescue Egypt from Ukraine shock

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has announced its intentions to rescue Egypt from the harsh economic crisis which has been caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This follows a request by Egyptian authorities for support from the IMF to implement the country’s comprehensive economic programme.

IMF said on Wednesday that it will seek financial support for Egypt, which has been hit hard by the rise in commodity prices caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "The rapidly changing global environment and the fallout from the war in Ukraine pose significant challenges for countries around the world, including Egypt," IMF country mission chief Celine Allard said in a statement. [...]

The inflation rate there reached 10% year-on-year in February, mainly driven by a 20% rise in food prices. [...] Inflation has been rising in Egypt since the launch of an IMF-led reform programme in November 2016. The IMF granted Cairo a loan of nearly 11 billion euros in exchange for drastic austerity measures, including a sharp devaluation and a review of the subsidy system for essential goods.
