Citizens and experts welcomed the austerity measures approved by the Egyptian government for three months, saying they reflect the principle of sharing the burden amid economic pressures, while stressing that they must be implemented fairly and transparently. The measures include suspending spending on new projects, official travel at state expense, conferences and events, and cutting energy use by government agencies by 20% and fuel use by government vehicles by 30%. The government exempted allocations for subsidies and the Takaful and Karama and Hayah Karima programs, as well as health, education and security. Experts warned that postponing investments could slow growth and put pressure on jobs and incomes, emphasizing that the plan’s success depends on ensuring that citizens do not bear its costs alone.
