What the numbers say
In 2015, Egypt, Arab Rep.'s grants and other revenue (current LCU) fell 10.3% on 2014 (from 259.17 billion to 232.42 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1978 to 2014), the average change was +17.5% and a typical year strayed about 23.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 108.2% in 1991 and the biggest yearly fall was 17.3% in 2011. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2006 to 2015 the straight-line trend is upward, about 16.94 billion a year. A straight line explains 77% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 263.66 billion for 2018. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2013 to 2015 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 52.88 billion, against 72.58 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

What this measures
Grants are transfers receivable by government units, from other resident or nonresident government units or international organizations, that do not meet the definition of a tax, subsidy, or social contribution. Other revenue is all revenue receivable excluding taxes, social contributions, and grants. This category of revenue includes property income, sales of goods and services, and miscellaneous other types of revenue. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
Limitations: For most countries central government finance data have been consolidated into one account, but for others only budgetary central government accounts are available. Countries reporting budgetary data are noted in the country metadata. Because budgetary accounts may not include all central government units (such as social security funds), they usually provide an incomplete picture. In federal states the central government accounts provide an incomplete view of total public finance. Data on government revenue and expense are collected by the IMF through questionnaires to member countries and by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
