Abstract: Abstract Egypt faces a number of challenges as the twenty-first century approaches. Long-term projections indicate that the population and labor force will continue to grow rapidly, requiring 11 million new jobs and significant expansion of physical and social infrastructures. Globally, trade liberalization, technological change, and environmental concerns demand adjustments in production structures and institutional frameworks as competition mounts from countries in South and Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. To meet these challenges, Egypt must integrate its economy with the world system by achieving a balanced macroeconomy, increasing competitiveness, reducing protection, and adopting free market policies.
