In the renaissance project, Morsi lays down ten economic goals, among which is raising the
GDP from 1.8% to 7%, multiplying the per capita income, decreasing inflation among other
goals. The project then goes into detail regarding the accomplishment of the set goals. It
discusses the role of the state in the economy being fighting corruption, laying economic
policies (financial, monetary and commercial), achieving the optimum responsible usage
of resources and handling the informal economy. Of the highlights in the program is Morsi’s
proposal to develop necessary Islamic financial tools to fund developmental projects.
Most candidates are somewhat centrist in their ideologies, with some ideas leaning further
right or left. However, what is clear is that they are the product of an emerging democracy,
taking the very first steps towards bettering its people’s lives. While a brief overview of
the electoral programs of the race’s front-runners does not do them justice, we thought
of portraying some of the essence of what they intend to offer the Egyptian people if they
come into power.
