Egypt's Economic Situation: Analysis and Outlook

In light of recent economic developments, including the sharp devaluation of the Egyptian pound from 31 to nearly 50 in efforts to stabilize the market and establish a unified exchange rate, concerns regarding potential inflationary pressures arise.

Additionally, the recent agreement with the UAE has garnered support from the IMF and other global entities, with an influx of 8 billion and 3 billion respectively. Notably, Egypt anticipates the initial 11 billion from the Ras-Alhekma deal, distributed across two tranches. Five billion will support currency free-floating initiatives, while six billion will fund critical infrastructure projects to stimulate genuine economic growth.

However, challenges persist, exacerbated by events such as the Gaza war and Red Sea attacks, which have significantly impacted Egypt's economy. Notably, the Suez Canal revenue has experienced a staggering 50% decline, as reported in January 2024.
