After President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s recent inauguration for his third term, the Egyptian cabinet resigned, paving the way for Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly to form a new government. Sisi tasked Madbouly with focusing on economic reform, attracting investments, boosting the private sector, and addressing inflation rates. Amid challenges such as the Israeli war on Gaza and the potential displacement of Palestinians, Madbouly’s cabinet is expected to prioritize health, education, national security, and stability.
The cabinet reshuffle comes in the midst of Egypt’s economic crisis, with soaring inflation and food prices burdening the population. Despite the efforts to alleviate public anger over price increases, Egypt continues to face economic challenges. Madbouly, the longest-serving premier under Sisi, has reshuffled his cabinet multiple times since 2018.
The resignation of the Egyptian cabinet signals a new chapter in the country’s governance, with a focus on addressing pressing economic and security issues. As Egypt navigates through these turbulent times, the reformation of the government under Madbouly’s leadership will be closely watched to see how it tackles the nation’s challenges.
