1 | Egypt: IMF Deal Sparks Controversy | Ejypta : Mampiady hevitra ny fifanarahana amin'ny FMI |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Egypt Revolution 2011. Helping Egypt overcome the cash crunch that ensued in the wake of the January 25 Revolution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed on Sunday to a 3 billion dollar loan package to the Arab World's most populous country. | Mba hanampiana ny firenena Ejipsiana amin'ny olana ara-bola noho ny revolisiona 25 janoary, nanaiky hanao fanampiana fampindramam-bola mitentina 3 miliara dolara ho an'ny firenena be mponina indrindra ao amin'ny tany arabo ny FMI (Tahirim-bola Iraisampirenena) tamin'ny Alahady teo. |
3 | The deal will, supposedly, help Egypt obtain funding to meet the balance of payments deficit that now stands between $10bn and $12bn in the wake of the revolution that overthrew president Hosni Mubarak in February. | Noeritreretina hanampy an'i Ejipta ny fifanekena amin'ny fahazoana famatsiambola mba ahafahana manentsina ny fatiantoka voarakitra amin'ny taratasy fandoavam-bola izay eo ho eo amin'ny 10 ka hatramin'ny 12 miliara dolara eo hatramin'ny revolisiona nampiongana ny filoha Hosni Moubarak tamin'ny volana febroary. |

6 | But while the Egyptian government and Finance Minister Samir Radwan hailed the deal as a step to “relaunch the Egyptian economy,” Egyptians were largely skeptical, with the deal receiving negative feedback from online citizens and activists. | Raha nankatoavin'ny governemanta ejipsiana sy ny minisitry ny tetibola Samir Radwn ny soritrasa ho toy ny dingana ho amin'ny “fanarenana ny toekarena ejyptiana”, dia toa maro kosa ny ejipsiana no kely fanantenana ny amin'izany, ka misy ny tora-po maneho ny fandavana avy amin'ny mpiserasera sy ny mpikatroka. |
7 | On Facebook, a group entitled “No IMF Deal for Egypt” was created and now comprises around 300 members, to discuss the deal and provide other alternatives to save cash and reduce budget deficit. | Ao amin'ny Facebook, natsangana ny vondrona antsoina hoe “Tsy mila fifanarahana amin'ny FMI ho an'i Ejypta”, izay ahitana mpikambana 300, hiady hevitra momba ny fifanekena ary hanolotra safidy [vahaolana] hafa ahafahana manao tahiry sy hampihenana ny fatiantoka ao amin'ny tetibola. |
8 | User Noha El Shoky, for example, argues that: | Ny mpisera Noha El Shoky, ohatra, manome hevitra fa: |
9 | reducing the salaries of ministerial consultants could save more than 70 bln [billion] dollars | Ahafana manao tahiry mihoatra ny 70 miliara dolara ny fampihenana ny karaman'ireo mpanolo-tsaina ministerialy |
10 | Another user, Reda Eissa asserts that: | Reda Eissa nanamafy hoe: |
11 | it's possible to save 36 bln dollars immediately if the private funds were added to the general budget balance | Azo atao ny manao tahiry 36 miliara dolara avy hatrany raha toa ka alefa ao amin'ny fifandanjana ankapobeny ny tetibola ny famatsiambola tsy miankina |
12 | On Twitter, blogger and activist Gigi Ibrahim (@Gsquare86) voiced a strong refusal to the deal: | Ao amin'ny Twitter, bilaogera sady mpikatroka Gigi Ibrahim (@Gsquare86) naneho ny fandavany tanteraka ny fifanarahana: |
13 | @Gsquare86: WE MUST REJECT THAT LOAN!!!! we are in a revolution, NO #SCAF NO GOV can make these decisions without the people's consent !!! | @Gsquare86: TOKONY HOLAVINTSIKA IO FINDRAMAM-BOLA IO !!!! ao anatina revolisiona isika, TSY MISY #SCAF TSY MISY GOVERNEMANTA afaka manapa-kevitra raha tsy mahazo fankatoavana avy amin'ny vahoaka!!! |

15 | User Amr El Gohary (@amr_gohary) is questioning the validity of approving the deal by “a transitional government” | Mpisera Amr El Gohary (@amr_gohary) nanontany ny lanjan'ny fifanarahana nataona “governemanta tetezamita” : |
16 | @amr_gohary: How come an interim unelected government is taking such strategic decisions as the IMF loan decision? | @amr_gohary: Fa nahoana ny governemanta tetezamita tsy nofidiam-bahoaka no mandray fanapaha-kevitra stratejika tahaka ny findramam-bola amin'ny FMI? |

18 | The deal comes after IMF praised Egypt's draft of the 2011/2012 budget balance which raised government spending by a quarter. | Natao ny fifanekena taorian'ny fahafaham-pon'ny FMI tamin'ny volavolan-tetibola 2011/2012 an'i Ejypta, izay mampitombo ny fandaniambolam-panjakana ao anatin'ny fotoana vetivety monja. |
19 | The country's interim government claims the budget will help improve social justice and remedy some of the economic grievances that was, according to a Gallup poll released on Sunday, one of the main reasons that helped trigger the anti-regime uprising in January. | Nanamafy ny governemanta tetezamita fa ny tetibola dia hanampy amin'ny fanatsarana ny rariny [fitsinjarana ara-t] sosialy sy ny famahana ny olana ara-toekarena, izay navoakan'ny fitsapan-kevitra Gallup tamin'ny Alahady teo fa anisan'ny antony iray lehibe nahatonga ny fikomiam-bahoaka tamin'ny volana janoary. |
20 | The balance centers around raising the national minimum wage from the old level of 34 Egyptian pounds (GBP 3.50) per month to 700 Egyptian pounds, and the establishment of a 2 billion Egyptian pound fund to pay for unemployment benefits. | Eo ny fanondrotana ny karama farafahakeliny eto an-toerana ho ho 700 livres ejyptiana raha toa ka 34 livres ejyptiana na 3,90 euros isam-bolana izany teo aloha, ary eo koa ny fanangonam-bola 2 miliara livres ejipsiana mba handoavana tamby tsy fananan'asa. |
21 | The IMF said the deal will help put the Egyptian Economy on the “right track”, despite opposition from businessmen who see the draft as running against the neo-liberal policies that helped their businesses flourish under Mubarak's rule. | Nanambara ny FMI fa hanampy ny toekarena ejipsiana “hizotra amin'ny lalana marina” ny fifanarahana, na dia eo aza ny fanoheran'ny tontolon'ny fandraharahana izay mahita ny soritrasa ho mifanohitra amin'ny politika neo-liberaly izay nampiroborobo tokoa ny orinasa nandritra ny fitondran'i Moubarak. |
22 | One thing for certain is that both Egyptians and their government are keeping their eye on how the economic wheel is moving these days. | Ny azo itokisana dia na ny Ejipsiana na ny fitondrana ao aminy dia samy hanara-maso ny fizotry ny toe-karena rahampitso rahafakampitso. |
23 | But while Egypt's rulers attempt to “resurrect” this ailing sector, there is a fear lurking in the air that this might come at the expense of post-revolution Egyptian independence. | Kanefa raha miezaka ny hanarina io vondron'asa mijaly io ny mpitondra, dia mihazohazo hatrany ny tahotra mety hanimba ny Fahaleovantena Ejyptiana aorian'ny revolisiona. |
