Egypt's Massive Potential, Wasted

Once a powerhouse of the ancient world, Egypt today faces a range of internal and external challenges that are holding it back from becoming a major global economic force. With its prime location between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and control of the critical Suez Canal, Egypt has all the ingredients to be a top 10 global economy—but what’s standing in the way?

You perfectly explained why our country is going through such problems in one short sentence.
"What's good for the country isn't always good for it's rulers"

[umut]

I think colors on the graph at 0:32 wrong. I don't think Turkey and all Balkans economy is better then Europe :D

[juanmartin]

Egypt like to live everywhere but in Egypt.

[filipe]

0:31 Green and blue are certainly in each other's place, no?

[YonderPreneur]

It’s crazy that, Egypt has a population of 100 million people

[hoosierdaddy]

Just spent a month in Egypt in June. Never going back! People were nice, government was incompetent and corrupt.

[sarahhaaniaxoxo]

If Sisi weren't such a corrupt dictator, I'm sure Egypt wouldn't need another IMF loan.

[GnomaPhobic]

Videos like this make me feel grateful to live in the West. Every nation has its problems, but things seem far more hopeful here.

[MohammedR-fkju]

"2016 protests" ?! Do you mean the devaluation of the currency in 2016? I don't believe we experienced any significant protests in 2016.

[ricequackers]

The corruption is brutal. And it's not just at the top, everyone all the way down to the lowest worker has their hand out for a bribe. It makes other poor and corrupt countries look good in comparison. Egypt is going to need a full cultural reboot if it's going to progress past its current point.

[abdelraman]

It's actually more positive than I thought !!

[Spectacurl]

Come on! Please don’t promote garbage video generators. There is ENOGH AI trash in Shorts already

[jolly-rancher]

The most corrupt country I've ever visited and that's saying something having been to a lot of other poor countries

[RBzee]

I don't use AI. Also, here's my sponsor.

[wertywerrtyson]

That AI sounded suspiciously like Ben Shapiro.

[jameskamotho]

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

[kevikiru]

Why do some of the best creators take sponsorships from companies whose output denigrates the concept of 'creativity'. This is just AI slop! Take less sponsor money from more dignified sources.

[momenibrahim]

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.

[drane]

Please cover about the country Myanmar

[apstrike]

Economic potential means nothing compared to 4500 years of consistent authoritarianism of one kind or the other.
