The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved a more than $3 billion loan allegedly to support Egypt’s ailing economy. But many experts note that the timing of this massive bailout is suspect because of Egypt’s recent moves to join the China- and Russia-aligned BRICS economic union.
In the past year, Egypt has been hit exceptionally hard by soaring oil and commodity prices resulting from global economic turmoil. Foreign portfolio investors have already pulled out around $22 billion from Egyptian debt markets.

In response to the economic turmoil, Egypt devalued its currency in March and then again by around 18 percent in late October, causing the $400 billion economy to face the worst foreign-exchange crunch in over half a decade.
Egypt has asked the IMF to provide it with more support – on top of a previous $12 billion IMF loan the country is still paying back.
The executive board of the IMF noted that it will send the approximately $3.1 billion bailout in tranches, and the first disbursement of about $347 million will be provided immediately.
As part of the loan agreement, Egypt has acquiesced to several loan conditions. This includes committing to “a permanent shift to a flexible exchange rate regime to increase resilience against external shocks and to rebuild external buffers.”
The Central Bank of Egypt has also promised several changes, including more efforts to control inflation and stabilize commodity prices, improve efficiency of the nation’s monetary policy and remove a requirement for importers to acquire letters of credit to buy goods from abroad.
Furthermore, the government of Egypt has introduced structural reforms to reduce government spending, level the playing field across all economic agents, facilitate more private sector-led growth and strengthen governance and transparency in the public sector.
IMF bribing Egypt to stop de-dollarization efforts
Holly Seeliger of “Zoon Politikon” noted that BRICS enticing other developing economies like Egypt to join their economic union is part of a global de-dollarization effort to topple the American dollar’s position as the world reserve currency.
“Egypt stepping up as de-dollarization efforts seem to have sent shockwaves to the West,” said Seeliger. “So, now the IMF has arrived to rescue the petrodollar by bribing Egypt to stop its de-dollarization efforts.”
Michael Mahanta, writing for TFIGlobal News, agreed with Seeliger. He wrote: “It is well known how IMF often secures or advances U.S. interests by using its economic clout. It has done it again, the case of Egypt, in the name of economic assistance.”
Official statements from the IMF and Egypt claim that the $3.1 billion loan will catalyze about $14 billion in additional financing from the country’s international and regional partners. This includes new financing from allies in the Gulf states “through the ongoing divestment of state-owned assets as well as traditional forms of financing from multilateral and bilateral creditors,” claimed the IMF.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
