Al Jazeera America quotes Mohsin Khan, senior fellow at the Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East, on how Egypt’s economic woes came to light during the Egyptian uprising, and remain a major problem in the country today:
“What the uprising did, in my view, was really expose the major fault lines in the economy that were sort of papered over by the macroeconomic performance during the last five years of the Mubarak regime,” said Mohsin Khan, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East and former director of the International Monetary Fund’s Middle East and Central Asia Department.
