A small nitpick: Egypt doesn't have more oil/gas resources than it can consume, as stated in the video. In fact, it's facing enormous trouble extracting the gas it does have, which is not enough for its massive population in the first place. All of the gas that Egypt exports comes from other countries with pipelines to Egypt but no LNG infrastructure of their own.

[@momenibrahim6662]

I was excited that this channel finally talked about Egypt, but the research made for this video seems rushed and barely scratched the surface. There’s also a lot of random unnecessary mistakes in the video (like dates etc.), and a lot of the analysis presented seems to be copy and pasted from outdated opinion pieces. For future videos, it’s probably a good idea to have economists from the subject country review the video before being posted.

Realistically, a lot of Egypt's economic woes come from overpopulation. Egypt used to be the breadbasket of the Roman Empire but now has to import food. There just aren't enough natural resources in Egypt to sustain their own population. If you're struggling constantly to feed your people, relying on loans and foreign (unstable too!) grain producing regions, that is going to be a constant pressure. Having a good stable agricultural base to an economy is key, or at the very least having enough to feed yourself and ensure stability. Not to mention just how vulnerable they are now to any sort of disruption, environmentally or politically, or the fact that they're running out of living space near the habitable parts of the country. I don't see them escaping the current situation when such a fundamental aspect of their country is so broken.

thank u for the good video

[@touchguapreign]

Currently living in Egypt right now, its people are lovely but the government is really strict sometimes. Wouldnt recommended for non-arabs to come here, ESPECIALLY to big cities.

[@jameskamotho7513]

You sound quite optimistic about Egypt compared to other countries like Pakistan or the Philippines...

[@temptemp4174]

Egypt has the pyramids

[@Nopee395]

Cuz egypt have suaz canal

[@lero_]

Pyramids Goes PppppRRRRRRRRRRR

[@christyb2912]

Other than corruption, we all know what is the main problem of Egypt that is not addressed in this video

[@lero_]

the European colonisers neighbors of Egypt you mean?

[@bobsemple9341]

​@@lero_the victim mentality. You don't get to blame colonisation anymore. All your failures are your own fault.

Egypt is nothing but addictive, I love it, every Nation goes through peaks & troughs, whilst its going through a tough patch, things will turn-around and it will recover and become great again.

[@bigsarge2085]

Interesting.

[@manofsteal5066]

It's true that by 2030 Egypt will become a better nation. as the government will be finally gone. And if not, the people will remove it.

[@CommissionerLofi]

Honestly if I was in control of the canal... I would would double or triple the lanes. You gotta mid-max the profit.

Yemen Houthis don't agree with you..

Do Algeria next

How interesting that Egypt is just above Argentina. Another country that has high inflation and borrowed from the IMF in the past. Both countries should be so rich if managed correctly.

[@PizzaManIsHere]

One word *Corruption*

[@Sam_Guevenne]

Well Argentina has vast natural reseources Egypt doesn't.

[@Officialegale3299]

As a guy who lives in Egypt this video was so hard to watch

[@joselopez-kx3sm]

any nation can be a global potential. some more than others but at the end of the day its the will of the people that make a nation powerful.

[@greenlime8726]

Please make a video about Moldova and Belarus

[@uptodate7825]

You Made a Perfect Reason on why i should Emigrate To a Different Country

The Suez canal is in Egypt but Egyptians don't benefit from it.

[@povmasss5171]

the last time they tried to make benefit, the west attacked.

[@willemvanriet7160]

Egypt has such a strong focus on their military but when their biggest asset is threatened by the Hutis they do nothing?

[@shafsteryellow]

What do want them to do

[@Samsonig]

We went there in the early 70s and got kicked out

[@MacTac141]

@@shafsteryellow Joining Operation Prosperity Guardian would be a start. Why spend so much on your military if you refuse to use it against terrorist groups taking billions away from you?

[@amerhamad-zp6ge]

The new capital has nothing to do with unrest. They've been talking about building a new capital since the 80's.

[@iambicpentakill971]

Those aren't mutually exclusive
