Al-Raya Newspaper: The New Egyptian Budget Between Misleading Numbers and the Absent Truth
Al-Youm Al-Sabea reported on its website on Monday, June 16, 2025, that MP Diaa El-Din Dawood rejected the draft general budget for the fiscal year 2025/2026, noting that the government claims to reduce public debt while the figures show the opposite, as domestic and foreign debt has increased significantly since 2018, reaching a total of 11.5 trillion pounds in June 2024. He explained that the deals announced by the government do not translate into real results felt by the people, criticizing the continuation of the same economic policies, and pointing out that debt returns and installments alone in the new budget amount to about 4382.6 billion pounds.
