Dr. Ahmed Shouki, a member of the Egyptian Society for Political Economy, Legislation, and Statistics, recently discussed Egypt's economic policy on the program "Economy and People" on Channel 2. He stated that the US Federal Reserve's decisions to raise, maintain, or lower interest rates aim to bring inflation down to 2% after it exceeded 4%. Shouki emphasized that these decisions impact the global economy, particularly emerging economies, as hot money flows towards higher interest rates and the US dollar.
Shouki highlighted that raising interest rates is part of a tight monetary policy that affects the global economy and emerging economies. He noted that this leads to a shift in hot money towards higher interest rates and the US dollar to maximize profits. In response, Egypt's monetary policy has adopted a flexible exchange rate to balance the outflow of indirect investments and debt instruments with maintaining the currency's value.
