Egypt’s economic problems are not attributed to its limited resources, but rather to the manner with which these resources are managed. Accordingly, doubling the achieved profit through halting the depletion of wasted resources and potentials is an objective that should be given priority over many economic goals both at the institution and the State levels.

No real economic progress can be achieved unless we address all forms of economic waste, including overt unemployment, disguised unemployment, illiteracy, accumulation of cargo in ports, irrigation systems, drinking water, loans, non-recycling of resources, insufficient maintenance of equipment, worn machines, non-exploitation of available energy in transporting cargo by train, raw materials, energy, sizable waste in agricultural commodities, failure to benefit from academic cadres, bad utilization of housing units, non-preservation of the environment, traffic jams, bad conditions of means of transportation, human rights, housing crisis, etc. The Egyptian society was only able to make the October 1973 War victory when it succeeded to organize and utilize its capacities and potentials. However, it is still able to address such waste of resources to achieve progress.
