Egypt’s new plan projects GDP at LE 20.4 TN, investments at LE 3.5 TN

The Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation has announced the key pillars of Egypt’s economic and social development plan for the fiscal year 2025/2026, which officially came into effect in July.

According to the ministry’s report, the plan aims for an economic growth rate of four and a half percent during the year. Under these projections, GDP is expected to reach nearly LE 9.1 trillion at constant prices and about LE 20.4 trillion at current prices, compared with an estimated LE 17.3 trillion in 2024/2025—an increase of eighteen percent.

The plan sets an ambitious investment target, raising total investments to almost LE 3.5 trillion for the first time, up from LE 2.6 trillion projected in 2024/2025 and LE 1.8 trillion achieved in 2023/2024. The investment rate is also expected to climb to 17.1 percent of GDP in 2025/2026, compared with 15 percent in 2024/2025 and 13 percent in 2023/2024.

Private investments are projected to rise significantly, reaching around LE 1.94 trillion, representing nearly 63 percent of total investments, while public investments are estimated at LE 1.16 trillion, up from about LE 1 trillion in the current fiscal year.
