A New Socio-Economic Era

​The long waited step of floating the local currency has been finally taken six weeks ago; leaving the whole economy, with its production and consumption sides, facing the big shock of rising costs of production as well as rising costs of living. One can conclude that the government was - actually - subsidizing the Egyptian Pound more than any other commodity and by liberalizing its exchange in terms of other currencies, a new era is now witnessed by all segments and social classes of the economy, pushing them to re-adjust their patterns of consumption to new ones, especially with being a net importer country, which is strongly tied to USD. We believe the new FX rate system will move the whole economy into a new price level (shifting the curve), pushing up the value of all assets in local currency to adjust for a new FX rate and accordingly the high inflation rate.
