Problem number one: corruption This brief overview of the most acute prob-
lems hampering Egypt’s development may have made it clear that the country
still has a long way to go and that its future will depend not only on how
its natural and human resources are utilized but much more on whether it
will be possible to reform an ailing economic structure, adopt appropriate
social policies and, last but not least, eradicate corruption. In 1998, Egypt
was ascribed a deplorable Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) of 2.9, which
ranked it at 66 worldwide, while the ‘cleanest’ country, Denmark, had a CPI
of 10, and the most corrupt country, Cameroon, with a CPI of 1.4, was
ranked 85 (Internet 1999b).
