Fiscal policy applied to Egypt using the MF model
Analysis: Short-Term Economic Policy
For Egypt, an easy Monetary policy is effective while Fiscal policy is not.
Monetary policy should be a carefully planned target, and have a time constraint.
Banks through interest rate adjustment should influence demand and supply behavior to follow the set Monetary policy.

ConclusionConclusion
Egypt’s sector reform plan is being effectively implemented expected to end the fragmented states of Banks & increase their competitiveness.
Product innovation creates room for growth in the sector.
M&As is an important venue to becoming a regional financial player, hence laws and regulations governing this issue should target to accelerate this process rather than hindering it.
Good Banking practices in compliance with international standards are inevitable for achieving efficiency.
Human resource development & an industry wide rise in remuneration and salaries are required to stop cross border brain drain.
