set the controls to the heart of sustainability

27.I.1430

Egyptian economic sector composition of agriculture (13.8%), industry (38.1%), services (48%) (2007 est.) should be tweaked to increase agro to increase local demand coverage , and to increase industry both at the expense of services.



This provides a more solid basis for the economy and should be geared to generate local demand when foreign demand recedes.

What is the problem with rectifying our situation where we're consuming twice as much as we produce (our trade deficit is nearly equal to our export volume)? Quality. We have tended to make and acquiess to shoddy products of poor quality and utility. It would reduce qlty of life even further unless oversight and enforcement are observed. But good luck. the point is not to have obscene states of the art in consumer products but to strike a balance that neither of poor standard nor wasteful.
