Egypt Economic Outlook

Economic outlook for Egypt in 2016 remains cautiously optimistic, partly based on the government’s ability to deliver on expectations, as well as effective implementation of the Sustainable Development Strategy and ongoing macroeconomic reforms.
Growth is expected to accelerate, conditional on improved investor confidence, although global economic headwinds present challenges to the outlook.
Overall, success will be demonstrated by effectively addressing long-standing domestic challenges of low and non-inclusive growth, and the implications of high population on the sustainability of urban growth.
