Egypt targets 4.5% growth under FY25/26 economic plan

According to the ministry's statement on Thursday, the plan also gives impetus for the private sector to play a stronger role as the country navigates ongoing global and regional challenges. 

The plan, which officially came into effect in July 2025, outlines the government's renewed strategy for financing development through a unified and modernized framework that consolidates national and sectoral goals while aligning with fiscal realities and investment priorities.

According to Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation Rania Al-Mashat, the document reflects a new phase following the merger of the planning, economic development, and international cooperation portfolios, centered around a "Financing for Development" approach. This strategy seeks to maximize the impact of both public funds and concessional financing from development partners.

"We are committed to a ceiling on public investments while focusing on attracting FDI and strengthening public-private partnerships," Al-Mashat said.

The plan sets investment targets as follows:

* EGP 3.5 trillion in total investments for FY2025/2026, compared to EGP 2.6 trillion estimated for FY2024/2025 and EGP 1.8 trillion in actual investments for FY2023/2024.
