Government and Citizens: Spending Ahead

The article highlights the deteriorating economic situation in Egypt, where data shows that local liquidity experienced its first monthly decline since 2017 in June. This was marked by a decrease in the money supply and demand deposits, reflecting a shift in depositors' behavior towards increased spending and injecting funds into the market to cope with inflation linked to rising electricity and commodity prices. The writer indicates that the reduction in liquidity signals a reorganization of the country's financing channels, with the government moving towards alternative tools such as tax bonds, and increasing reliance on alternative assets like gold, US dollars, and stocks. Additionally, the phenomenon of "Al-Mustarih" (unscrupulous financiers) and unregulated investments are on the rise. The article also raises questions about how these policies will impact tax revenues and the future of government financing, emphasizing the need for studies to understand consumer and business behavior under the current circumstances.
