egypt-economic-monitor's Introduction

Understanding Egypt's Economy through Alternative Data

The MENA MTI team is preparing the Egypt Country Economic Memorandum (CEM) and other reports that monitor trends in the Egyptian economy. This repository includes an exploration of alternative data sources that could support analysis of Egypt's economic growth and demographics.

Proofreading

Proofread the entire piece and reorder the figures to make it more intuitive.

Estimate Impact on Tourism

Trend line chart and table of change in planned trips to Egypt from November 2018 through present, from countries selected by the Task Team. If mobile analysis requested, maps and tables showing percent change in visits (measured by # of detected mobile devices) at key tourism sites from January 2021 through present.

Change in Nighttime Lights over Time with Benchmark

Since nighttime light data begins in 2012, the team proposes preparing an indexed trend line analysis for all of Egypt and for Türkiye from November 2012 through November 2023. Annual trendline of indexed total “radiance” for Egypt and Türkiye (2012-2023) and table

Concentration of Economic Activity

Can we illustrate the fact that economic activity is concentrated in only about 7% of Egypt’s land? (Perhaps through Nighttime Lights. Would be great if we showed 3 points in time if data allow… say 2000 ; 2011 ; & 2023 and then contrast them with a comparator – say Turkey) For the more frequent macro monitoring, would there be data to look at the issue of rising electricity cuts in recent months? Can we look at Nighttime lights in January 2023, and compare it to the latest data point available?

Since agriculture comprises only ~10% of the Egyptian economy, the team proposes leveraging alternative data sources to understand the geospatial concentration of industry and services, namely: nighttime lights, internet connectivity, industrial air pollution, and commerce-based points of interest.

Add Sample Indicators to answer the RQs

  1. For the Egypt CEM, can we illustrate the fact that economic activity is concentrated in only about 7% of Egypt’s land?
  2. Again for the Egypt CEM, in order to detect social conditions and spatial inequality: Can we map neighborhoods with swimming pools, green areas, relatively wider streets; as opposed to areas with more dense buildings and narrower streets?

To detect social conditions and spatial inequality: Can we map neighborhoods with swimming pools, green areas, relatively wider streets; as opposed to areas with more dense buildings and narrower streets? Any other suggestions for indicators to gauge inequality?
