The INP-EMM is the result of extensive institutional efforts led by INP’s Economic Modeling Unit. It aims to describe Egypt’s economic structure, analyze interactions among its sectors, and support policy design and impact assessment.
Prof. Ashraf El-Araby, INP President, stated, “Launching INP-EMM marks a milestone in developing quantitative analysis tools for policymaking, reflecting INP’s commitment to building national models based on solid scientific foundations. We hope it enhances understanding of Egypt’s economic dynamics and supports decision-makers in evaluating alternatives through specific quantitative scenarios.”
The model integrates demand and supply sides, covering the real economy, monetary sector, public finance, foreign trade, and labor market. It relies on interconnected behavioral functions and identities, enabling macroeconomic forecasting, policy alternative testing, and impact assessment under various scenarios.
The launch includes a digital interactive platform for operating the model, allowing users to input assumptions, build scenarios, and review forecasts and policy impacts in a simplified, systematic manner. This enhances the model’s practical application in decision-making and its transition from research to institutional implementation.
