Egypt’s Ministry of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation has set an economic growth target of 4.5 percent for the 2025-26 fiscal year, which began on July 1.
The Government projects gross domestic product (GDP) to rise to 20.4 trillion Egyptian pounds ($420 billion), representing an 18 percent increase from last year’s estimated 17.3 trillion pounds. The ministry attributes the growth outlook to the anticipated positive effects of ongoing macroeconomic reforms.
According to the ministry, the new economic and social development plan will prioritize managing public investments, attracting foreign direct investment, and expanding private sector participation. The strategy places emphasis on strengthening productive capacities in tradable and export-driven sectors. Total targeted investments for the fiscal year are set at 3.5 trillion pounds, or 17.1 percent of GDP, as Egypt works to stabilize its economy and enhance competitiveness in the global market.
