The Media Center of the Cabinet cited Standard & Poor’s projections, indicating that lending in Egypt is expected to continue growing during the 2026-2027 fiscal years, achieving an additional increase of around 25 percent compared to 2025.
Standard & Poor’s added that demand for credit from the
private sector is expected to improve in 2026. Financing for new investments
will drive corporate credit demand, supported by exchange rate stability.
The agency also expects increased private sector
investments, continued momentum in the tourism sector, and monetary easing.
Analysts forecast that a slowdown in the inflation rate will further support
lending growth.
