00:00 Economic challenges and geopolitical crises impose themselves on the electoral scene in Egypt.
00:08 The presidential elections, in which four candidates compete, including the current president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi,
00:14 come at a time described by the citizens and analysts as difficult.
00:19 The intensity of geopolitical tensions is increasing, and pressure is increasing on the Egyptian economy.
00:25 The inflation rate is rising, the local currency is falling, and foreign currency is being charged.
00:32 As the prices rise, the candidates' busy work is not going away.
00:37 Egypt will not be able to overcome its economic crisis after the elections, and its living conditions will not improve.
00:44 The people want to eat and drink until they become cheap.
00:49 The people are looking for a place to live, they don't want to build houses or cars.
00:58 They want to live.
01:00 The things that are expensive are less expensive in the market.
01:06 We want the country to be clean and the education system to be good.
01:10 They want everything good for us. They want our children, not us.
01:14 They want security and stability.
01:16 The people are tired. They want to see the expensive things.
01:21 That's what we need.
01:23 Because the economic file will be at the top of the priorities for the elected president,
01:27 many expect Egypt to witness, after the elections,
01:30 decisive decisions to get out of the old-age of the old-age,
01:33 and to attract more foreign currency flows.
01:36 Among them may be the implementation of financial and structural reforms,
01:40 the completion of the agreement with the IMF,
01:43 the new loan guarantee, and the implementation of more government proposals.
01:47 These are all very big files, with the new ones.
01:51 The idea is not valid even with the files.
01:54 We see the great development and the shocks that have been present consecutively.
01:59 How can the economy of Egypt be strong enough to resist these shocks?
02:04 The economy should not be shocked by any shock,
02:06 that it will be very shaken and affected the quality of the citizens' lives.
02:10 I think these are the most important challenges,
02:13 and I think that the president will not be able to overcome these challenges.
02:17 About 67 million Egyptians, whose voices are heard,
02:21 expect the participation rate to rise in these elections.
02:25 It is decided that the result of the first phase will be announced in the next 18 months,
02:30 and that the elections will be decided in this round
02:33 if one of the candidates wins the absolute majority,
02:36 or if she wins the absolute majority in the next month.
02:40 Egyptians are looking forward to the completion of these presidential elections,
02:44 and are waiting for decisive decisions to deal with difficult economic conditions,
02:49 imposed by the current geopolitical crises,
02:52 and which have affected the lives of the citizens.
02:55 Yassine Al-Gohari, CNBC Arabia, Cairo.
02:58 I'll take it off.
