Why do you think you're right?

This seems so unlikely that I’m not sure why the question is even being raised. The remaining G20 countries will probably be careful not to antagonize the U.S.

Why might you be wrong?

I might be misreading the global political landscape, in which case I’d probably be better off taking up knitting instead of trying to forecast global affairs.

Amen to that.

Will any additional G20 member state recognize the State of Palestine before 1 Feb 2026? would at least leave enough room for uncertainty in order to make the question interesting, despite its short time horizon...

Why do you think you're right?

I don’t think any of these scenarios will play out over the rest of this month, but then again, we’ve still got all of 2026 ahead of us, right? (right? I'm never certain with these kind of questions) The EGX30 has gained nearly 40% this year and year-on-year inflation stood at 12.5% in October, which is relatively steady compared with the previous months. A default doesn’t seem to be on the table at this point, with both S&P and Fitch assigning Egypt a ‘B’ credit rating and a Stable Outlook as of late 2025.

Why might you be wrong?

We’ve seen dramatic reversals in the past where years of gains were wiped out in a matter of days or weeks. So, while it’s not very likely, it’s still within the realm of possibility.

Why do you think you're right?

The current requested figures are hovering close to the 21.0 billion threshold, with both upward and downward pressures at play. Then there’s the reconciliation issue to consider. I’m shifting slightly from the first to the second bin, but otherwise sticking with my original forecast, mainly because I don’t know.

Why might you be wrong?

I just don't know enough about budgetting procedures.
