Egypt

Egypt's diverse economy is anchored by agriculture, manufacturing, and services, and benefits from a large domestic market, strengthened infrastructure, and a strategic location at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Real GDP grew 5.3% in the first half of FY2025/26, reflecting improved access to foreign exchange, the Suez Canal's gradual resumption of maritime traffic, and robust activity in tourism and communications. Recent reform initiatives have focused on restoring macroeconomic stability, enhancing competitiveness, and strengthening social protection
