<\/a> FinMin trims budget targets as Ukraine conflict weighs on state finances:<\/strong> The Finance Ministry has revised downwards its fiscal targets for FY 2022-2023 as rising commodities prices put pressure on public finances, according to figures published in an Ittihadiya statement<\/a> yesterday evening.<\/p>\n

Deficit still on course to narrow:<\/strong> The government now sees the budget deficit contracting to 6.3% of GDP in the upcoming 2022-2023 fiscal year from an expected 6.9% in the current FY. Preliminary figures released by the ministry in January had targeted a 6.1% deficit<\/a> in the coming fiscal year.<\/p>\n

This will mean a slimmer primary surplus:<\/strong> The ministry has lowered its primary surplus target to 1.5% in 2022-2023 from 2% previously.<\/p>\n

No word on debt:<\/strong> Finance Minister Mohammed Maait didn\u2019t disclose the ministry\u2019s debt-to-GDP target for the coming fiscal year. The minister said in January that public debt levels were expected to fall to below 90% of GDP in 2022-2023.<\/p>\n

Or GDP:<\/strong> The statement didn\u2019t disclose whether the government has altered its growth forecast in response to the conflict and the resulting inflation. The ministry is currently targeting a 5.7% growth rate in 2022-2023.<\/p>\n

Revised targets were in the cards:<\/strong> Maait said earlier this month<\/a> that the ministry would likely have to reassess its fiscal targets in light of the war in Ukraine and its impact on the Egyptian economy.<\/p>\n

The government had already lowered its deficit target for the current fiscal year:<\/strong> The ministry originally targeted reducing the deficit to 6.7%<\/a> this fiscal year from 7.4% in 2020-2021 but has now lowered this to 6.9%<\/a> due to the fiscal impact of the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Government spending to rise <\/strong>12%<\/strong> next year:<\/strong> The government expects to spend EGP 2.07 tn in 2022-2023, up from its EGP 1.84 tn projected spend this year, according to the statement. This includes EGP 400 bn for wages, EGP 365 bn for public investments, and EGP 323 bn for state subsidies.<\/p>\n

Revenues are forecast to rise 17% <\/strong>to EGP 1.45 tn during the year, according to the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
