Oh, look at that, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) drama in the land of Egypt! So, they're researching a CBDC to be launched by 2030. But let's take a moment to appreciate their current state - an inflation rate of 13.9%! It's like they're playing "How high can we go?" with inflation.

Now, as for the proposed CBDC addressing corruption and oppression... well, it's like asking a fox to guard the henhouse. Egypt has some concerning issues when it comes to human rights and corruption. Activists facing oppression? Check. Political movements being stifled? Check. Unauthorized seizure of personal property? Check!

Sure, the Central Bank may promise limits and controls on surveillance with their shiny new digital currency, but do we really trust them? I mean, come on! Corruption is deeply rooted within their government.

So yeah, maybe this CBDC could potentially amplify these challenges rather than solving them. But hey, who needs civil liberties anyway when you've got digital currency up your sleeve?
