Canadian investments in key sectors such as mining, education, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals are playing an important role in supporting Egypt’s economic recovery and growth, according to economic assessments.
A recent report by Standard Chartered Bank identified Egypt as a promising market for 2026, citing improved macroeconomic indicators, easing inflation, and expectations that inflation could fall to around 11% by mid-next year. The report also projects real GDP growth to reach 4.5%.
Egypt has benefited from steady foreign currency inflows, improved external balances, and a gradual return of investor confidence. Analysts note that currency stability, consistent legislation, and clearer investment policies have helped reassure foreign investors about the protection of their rights and returns.
Egypt is also being promoted as a gateway to African markets, offering competitive labor costs and lower taxes and customs duties compared to exporting directly from North America. While the full impact of these investments is expected to take several years to materialize, sectors such as tourism, medical tourism, and religious tourism are seen as key growth drivers, alongside new economic zones and large-scale development projects.
