Egyptian economic growth and fiscal reform

Overview

Egypt has demonstrated economic growth and fiscal reform progress. During the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the economy achieved a growth rate of 5.1%, an increase from the 4.4% recorded in the previous year. Matta Bishay of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce noted that this growth suggests sustained activity and demonstrates resilience against regional and global uncertainties.

Complementing this growth, Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk reported that tax revenues as a percentage of GDP rose by approximately 1.6% over the last two years. This increase was attributed to an expanded tax base and business-supportive reforms rather than higher tax rates. The government has maintained fiscal discipline while increasing spending on health, education, and social protection by more than 10% last year. Current reform efforts focus on digital transformation, adjusting profit taxes, and providing incentives to encourage corporate investment.
