The Cabinet stated on Friday that the Egyptian economy is
undergoing a shift towards productive sectors and the development of the real
economy, supported by economic and structural reforms aimed at strengthening
the real economy, empowering the private sector, and moving the economy towards
highly productive, tradable sectors such as industry, tourism, and
communications.
It added that the economy achieved a growth rate of 5.3% in
the first quarter of 2025-2026, the highest in more than three years. This growth
refers to the gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of the total value of
goods and services produced within the country.
Private investments also rose by 25.9%, accounting for
around 66% of total implemented investments, underlining the strengthened role
of the private sector as a key driver of investment activity and economic
growth.
