11873_02 Study D2: Poverty, Informal Sector, Health and Labour 5. Volunteers and a large number of those carrying out their military service suffer from illiteracy. This prohibits them from adequately grasping and executing the orders, they are given. Even if they are literate, they have not had sufficient education and hence they lack the proper sense and logic necessary to carry out their jobs efficiently. Due to these factors, the public tends to disregard the police as an effective means of obtaining their rights, which in itself impedes the police force in carrying out its job of establishing law and order. In addition to this, in the 1990s, political crime (terrorist attacks) rose disturbingly so that the police force directed most of its budget and instruments towards fighting terrorism and political crimes. Consequently new forms of crime of social and economic nature erupted during the last decade. The new types of crime require vigorous efforts to combat them. FONDAZIONE CENSIS 14
11873_02 Study D2: Poverty, Informal Sector, Health and Labour 5. TRENDS AND CORRELATION 5.1. The evolution from the structural adjustment of the 80s After a period of unprecedented economic growth in Egypt during 1975- 1985, the situation changed dramatically since 1984/85. The Egyptian economy enjoyed a decade of boom, mainly, due to large foreign exchange inflows because of the increased petroleum prices, export proceeds, higher Suez Canal revenues, accelerating worker’s remittances, and enhanced tourism earnings. The drop in foreign inflows was the result of unfavorable external developments, principally the decline in petroleum prices as well as in other related sources of foreign exchange, recession in the world economy, and the sharp decline in the flow of aid. Unable to respond to these external shocks due to structural weakness, Egypt experienced a dramatic fall in its growth rate and severe macroeconomic imbalances (Kheir –El-Din & El- Shawarby, 2003). It became obvious that the Egyptian economy could not meet the needs of the society without external aids. In the meantime, Egypt faced a problem with its creditors, as it was not able to maintain debt service payments. The following key indicators show the extent of the crisis in the beginning of 1990, which the Egyptian economy was confronted with (CBE, 1992-1998): a) Total external debt around US $ 49 billion, b) Total external debt to GDP 150%, c) Budget deficit around 20% of GDP, d) Inflation rate higher than 20%, e) Negative real interest rate around 6%, and, f) Reserves were just over three weeks of imports.

5. TRENDS AND CORRELATION<br />
5.1. The evolution from the structural adjustment of the 80s<br />
After a period of unprecedented economic growth in Egypt during 1975-<br />
1985, the situation changed dramatically since 1984/85. The Egyptian<br />
economy enjoyed a decade of boom, mainly, due to large foreign exchange<br />
inflows because of the increased petroleum prices, export proceeds, higher<br />
Suez Canal revenues, accelerating worker’s remittances, and enhanced<br />
tourism earnings.<br />
The drop in foreign inflows was the result of unfavorable external<br />
developments, principally the decline in petroleum prices as well as in other<br />
related sources of foreign exchange, recession in the world economy, and<br />
the sharp decline in the flow of aid. Unable to respond to these external<br />
shocks due to structural weakness, Egypt experienced a dramatic fall in its<br />
growth rate and severe macroeconomic imbalances (Kheir –El-Din & El-<br />
Shawarby, 2003).<br />
It became obvious that the Egyptian economy could not meet the needs of the<br />
society without external aids. In the meantime, Egypt faced a problem with<br />
its creditors, as it was not able to maintain debt service payments. The<br />
following key indicators show the extent of the crisis in the beginning of<br />
1990, which the Egyptian economy was confronted with (CBE, 1992-1998):<br />
a) Total external debt around US $ 49 billion,<br />
b) Total external debt to GDP 150%,<br />
c) Budget deficit around 20% of GDP,<br />
d) Inflation rate higher than 20%,<br />
e) Negative real interest rate around 6%, and,<br />
