Egypt

Gambaran umum ekonomi & industri

Egypt is the most populous country in the Arab world and North Africa, with an economy driven by hydrocarbons, Suez Canal revenues, remittances, tourism, and agriculture. The government has implemented a series of IMF-backed economic reform programmes since 2016, including currency liberalisation and subsidy reduction, aimed at stabilising public finances and attracting foreign investment. Key industries include textiles, food processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction, and light manufacturing, with the services sector contributing roughly half of GDP. The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) is one of the oldest and largest stock markets in Africa and the Middle East, with banking and financial services companies commanding the largest share of total market capitalisation. Egypt joined BRICS as a partner state in 2024, reflecting its growing engagement with emerging-market economic blocs.
