Toward More Efficient Services in Egypt
Developing an efficient and competitive service sector is an essential requirement for a strong economy. This sector accounts for 60 percent of GDP in Egypt, and more than half of total employment. Linked with other sectors, its efficiency is a determinant of the overall competitiveness of the Egyptian economy. This collection of studies, which grew out of a conference held in Cairo in December 2009, presents an overview of the service sector in Egypt and its role in the Egyptian economy, focusing on strategies for tourism, construction, banking, wholesale and retail distribution, roads, and information and communications technology.
Toward More Efficient Services in Egypt
This volume aims to contribute to the debate on the enhancement of the service sector by highlighting Egypt's prerequisites for ensuring the effective and fruitful reform of services.

Such government intervention, known as industrial policy, is the topic of this book. The aim is to assess whether state intervention leads to net benefits to society, why policymakers intervene, and how to bring about a healthier balance between states and markets. Answers to these questions are given in six chapters based on research papers that were presented at a conference held in Cairo in November 2005, and include case studies on Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, and Jordan.
