No. Egypt is a relatively poor country and would easily default if not for AID from First-World countries like the US, UK, and Sweden.
The United States is generally considered the largest aid donor in the world in terms of volume of aid provided. However, it is important to note that the European Union collectively also provides a significant amount of aid, making it a major player in global development assistance.
The United States was willing to give Egypt aid only if Egypt did not buy weapons from Communists.
No. Mexico is a receiver of development aid.
Egypt gets 1.5 Billion a year from US
It depends on the country. Israel, the largest recipient of US AID receives it primarily in military spending. This is a win-win for the United States and Israel since over 80% of it must be spent by Israel on US defense firms, helping to prop up those companies in the United States and give actual exposure to these technologies while providing Israel with the latest state-of-the-art military hardware. Egypt, the second-largest recipient of US AID in the world, needs the US AID because otherwise its economy would entirely collapse. Egypt has massive rice and grain shortages, inefficient farming, and domestic strife. Most other countries in the Middle East that receive US AID, including the Palestinian Authority, need it to feed their citizens and perform basic governmental functions.
It is unclear if America will continue to provide economic aid to Egypt during the transitional government period as decisions on aid are subject to various factors including the political situation, human rights concerns, and foreign policy priorities. The US government regularly reviews its aid to Egypt based on these factors.
According to the CIA World Fact Book the United States of America has been the world's largest food donor since the mid twentieth century.
The largest overall is the United States at ~23 billion dollars/ year. The largest by percent of national income is Sweden at ~1.12%/ year. *Both of the statics are about governmental donations not about private donations.
Egypt is the second-largest individual recipient of American Aid (after Israel) and this money has gone to fund the Egyptian Army primarily as well as infrastructure maintenance. Given the corruption in the Mubarak, Morsi, and Sissi Regimes, not much of this money trickled down to Egyptian commoners, but it was there. The United States maintains a strategic alliance with Egypt also on account of the Suez Canal which sees most of the Persian Gulf oil-tankers pass through.
