Egypt’s economy is set to see a growth of 4.0% by the end of June 2025, as per a recent Reuters poll of 13 economists. This growth is expected to further accelerate to 4.7% in 2025/26 and 5.3% by 2026/27. The economy faced a setback in 2023/24 with GDP growth dropping to 2.4%, attributed to a currency crisis and conflicts in the region affecting revenue and tourism.
In efforts to improve economic prospects, Egypt made significant moves such as selling real estate rights and securing a financial reform package with the IMF. Tight fiscal policies are anticipated to continue in order to address budget deficits and reduce debt levels. The weakening Egyptian pound is also expected to impact Inflation rates, which are forecasted to be at 20.4% in 2024/25 and 11.4% in 2025/26.
The IMF predicts a 4.1% growth for Egypt’s economy in 2025. Analysts forecast a depreciation of the Egyptian pound to 50.4 per dollar by June 2025 and 52.0 by June 2026. The Central bank‘s overnight lending rate is expected to decrease to 22.25% by mid-2025 and further decline to 14.25% by mid-2026.
