An Egyptian precedent would bring awareness and sobriety to an entire generation of lenders that is not accustomed to considering this type of risk, and that may even be unfamiliar with the doctrine of odious debt. Repressive regimes would find it harder to borrow, which would, in turn, make it harder for them to repress their people, and make it easier and cheaper for responsible and legitimate governments to secure important funding when they need it.
埃及的例子能让整整一代贷款人警醒并冷静下来。他们还不习惯于考虑这类风险，甚至可能没怎么听说过恶意债务的说法。高压政权将发现很难借到钱，这反过来能让他们难以镇压其人民，也会让负责、合法的政府在需要时能够更轻松、更便宜地确保获得重要资金。
