What you need to know about Egypt new gov't program for coming three years

Egypt's new 30-member cabinet, led by  Pm Madbouly, was sworn in before President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi earlier on Wednesday. The cabinet's overhaul involved numerous changes in ministers and portfolios. 

As per the Egyptian constitution, the parliament will consider the government program presented by Madbouly to decide whether to give confidence to the new line-up.

Madbouly said the new government will be tasked with handling the country’s pressing challenges, including those related to economic, and security pillars.

The prime minister said the program is tailored to address three main challenges: completing the infrastructure and services projects nationwide, mitigating the repercussions of the global economic conditions, and addressing the challenges resulting from regional conflicts.

Madbouly vowed to end the power outage problem within six months, reduce rising prices and inflation, and control markets.
