Blurred vision
During this revolutionary year, policymakers are partly to blame for a failed economy, Sherine Abdel-Razek reports
Finance 101
Economist Samir Radwan now carries the title of former minister of finance. He came to the ministry during the initial 18 days of the revolution. Although he was at the helm of the Finance Ministry for less than six months, he had the task of preparing the post-revolution budget, that of 2011/12. His choice for the position at the time had caught many by surprise and was criticised due to the fact that his area of expertise had been employment and labour market policies rather than finance. He spoke to Niveen Wahish about the challenges that faced the Egyptian economy in the past year.
