Energy subsidies dropped from 6.5 percent of Egypt’s GDP in 2014 to 3.4 percent in 2018 and merely 0.3 percent by 2020. This decline exceeded the savings from the global dip in energy prices and persisted after energy prices rose again.
To meet the challenges of its growing population and energy use, Egypt needed to redirect resources from wasteful, regressive, and environmentally unsustainable fuel subsidies to human capital development priorities.
Thus, in the long term, the energy subsidy reform not only increases energy prices and intermediate input cost, but also the cost of public services, thereby hampering growth and income generation in the private sector.
Energy subsidies remain in place in several low- and middle-income countries. The declared objectives of this type of government intervention are often related to wealth redistribution and the protection of domestic consumers from fluctuating energy prices in international markets (IMF, 2017).
Again, the exceptions are the crude oil and natural gas sectors, for which mining capital is allocated according to Egypt's investment plan. The level of foreign savings is assumed to be exogenous and fixed at the initial level.
The efects of Egypt’s economic reform program, especially on the poor, including the gradual energy subsidy removal, did not spark social unrest or public outcry, unlike previous attempts to cut food subsidies, which faced vocal resistance and public discontent. More resources went to health and education as energy subsidies decreased.
