Broader Reforms Needed

Mahmoud Mohieldin said that economic reform cannot be achieved through financial and monetary stability alone; it also requires sustainable institutional and structural reforms, as well as a fair competitive environment that strengthens the private sector’s role in investment and growth. Speaking at a roundtable at the American University in Cairo, he noted that Egypt and Morocco face shared challenges in productivity, competitiveness, investment efficiency, and job creation. He also discussed *The Oxford Handbook of the Egyptian Economy*, which comprises 43 chapters and contributions from 69 researchers and authors. Mohieldin called for economic diversification, digital transformation, investment in education, health, and skills, and stronger mobilization of domestic resources. He warned that a lack of reliable data undermines evidence-based policymaking.
