The report stated that Egypt's GDP is set to record a 4.6% growth in 2018 and 5.3% in 2019.

The report added that due to Egypt's recent flexible exchange rate regime exports and production have been improving in 2017. The problem with the flexible rate lies in the accompanying inflation, Egypt’s core and overall inflation rate exceeded 30% year on year in March 2017.
