Stayed. «Fitch Solioshens.» The Fitch Trust Classification Foundation is expected to accelerate Egypt ' s GDP growth rate to 4.7% in the current fiscal year 2025/2026 driven by consumer power, increased investment and export strength.
The Foundation added that the growth rate would jump to 5% over the next fiscal year, driven by continued domestic market investment movement.
However, the Foundation increased its growth estimates in the last fiscal year 2024/2025 from 3.9% to 4.1%, noting that the growth rate in the third quarter of 2024 recorded about 4.8% on an annual basis (upper than its previous forecast of 4.1%) as a result of the power of exports and tourism activity.
Fitch identified a number of risks that the economy might face in slowing global demand, as well as outflows from emerging markets, geopolitical tensions that could lead to currency pressures and inflation.
The Government targets a growth rate of 4.5% of the Egyptian economy in the current fiscal year, with a particular focus on strengthening the human development sectors, with about 47% of State Treasury investments for health, education and social services sectors.
