3. Paragraph Construction
The economy of Egypt has changed immensely in the
past three decades. A change in government caused the
economy to become less regulated (Egypt). With a new
government leader, trade restrictions were lessened. The
change in government leadership has improved Egypt’s
international trade and decreased inflation (Egypt). Egypt
now has stronger relationships with other countries because
of the increased trade.
