These short-term plans need some USD 6-9 bn. As for the long-term, we could be looking at more inflows, higher employment rate and higher income,\u201d El Hadidi said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MHKya5mk-8Y\">watch, runtime: 3:58<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Egyptian economy will stabilize as soon as our backlogged ports start clearing up<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/ef687b59-5f9e-424f-a77b-2c4e82da9b24\">CIB non-executive chairman<\/a> Hisham Ezz Al Arab told El Hadidi (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hB3dlsPFjAs\">watch, runtime: 3:28<\/a>). Clearing up the ports won\u2019t be as expensive as people believe because many importers no longer want their products and will decide to auction it off rather than going through the hassle of releasing them from the ports, he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is a flexible EGP good news? <\/strong>Flexible currency makes it easier for a country to absorb external shocks, Ezz Al Arab said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=72tEEiZeI8A\">watch, runtime: 16:10<\/a>).
