The Egyptian Minister of Finance, Ahmed Kochouk: The era of low-cost financing has ended and higher global interest rates for a longer period have become the expected scenario. World trade is no longer governed by the traditional rules of the economy, but politics has become its main driver. The government is launching a 3-year structural economic plan that extends its goals until 2030 and is based on 5 axes. Artificial intelligence will create winners and losers at the global and regional level and within each country we must change the model of economic growth by focusing on productivity and the efficient use of resources and investments. The statements were made during his participation in the Cairo Forum in its third edition, organized by the Egyptian Center for Economic Studies.
