The Egyptian economy achieved a growth rate of 5.1% during fiscal year 2025-26, surpassing international institutions' forecasts, according to the latest official data.
This performance reflects the resilience of the Egyptian economy against multiple external pressures, including rising global interest rates and declining Suez Canal revenues in previous periods.
