Egypt’s Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation, Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, announced that the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate increased to 5.3% during the first quarter of the 2025/2026 fiscal year. This marks a notable improvement compared to the 3.5% growth rate recorded during the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.
The minister highlighted that the acceleration signals continued momentum in Egypt’s economic performance despite ongoing global and regional challenges. The rise in growth reflects stronger activity across key sectors, supported by recent structural reforms, investment flows, and improved business conditions.
The government is expected to release additional details on sector-specific performance and economic projections in the coming weeks as part of its broader strategy to enhance stability, attract investment, and strengthen development outcomes.
