  Atef Ebeid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atef Muhammad Ebeid (Arabic: عاطف محمد عبيد) (born 14 April 1932) was the Prime Minister of Egypt from October 1999 to July 2004.
Ebeid was infamous with his boring tenure, lack of credibility and poor economic or social planning skills, critics and spectators were confounded as to why he was being kept on board.
Ebeid served as the Acting President of the Republic from 20 June 2004 to 6 July 2004, a period during which President Hosni Mubarak was receiving medical treatment in Germany.

This is why it came as a surprise to many that the speech Ebeid delivered for 2004 was both unusually frank and grim, revealing officially for the first time the financial strain put on the state by a depressed world economy, the depreciation of the Egyptian pound and the rising costs of imports.
Ebeid said that his government was committed to providing subsidised bread and that the public sector would be taking over the distribution of wheat - previously in the hands of private companies - to guard against increasingly frequent shortages.
Ebeid said the government would do more to encourage new housing communities in the desert (beyond the narrow strip of land irrigated by the Nile) and announced that a new law was being drafted to regulate the relationship between tenants and landlords, which should also help increase investment in the housing sector.

Ebeid also stated that a government five- article bill will be submitted to parliament, aiming to arm banks with greater guarantees for recovering their credit in a safer and less costly way.
Ebeid said reforming the banks is vital for abolishing the long-standing economic recession and liquidity crisis.
Ebeid said his strategy in reducing this debt largely depends on reforming what are called "economic authorities": the authorities that run certain public sector services.
