Net foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in Egypt reached $9.3 billion in the first half of the fiscal year 2025/2026, compared to around $6 billion in the same period a year earlier, according to a briefing published by the Government of Egypt.
This performance comes after a period of strong economic momentum recorded before the recent regional crisis, the same source highlights. Over the first six months of the fiscal year, the Egyptian economy posted a growth of 5.3%, supported by several key drivers.
The expansion was notably driven by improved performances in the industry, agriculture, information technology, and tourism sectors, as well as an increase in private sector investments. These factors have helped strengthen the country’s attractiveness to international investors.
At the same time, remittances from Egyptians living abroad increased by 29.6% to reach $22.1 billion, providing significant support for the balance of payments and macroeconomic stability.
According to authorities, these indicators reflect the positive impact of the economic reform program implemented in recent years, aimed at enhancing the resilience of the Egyptian economy and its ability to absorb external shocks while boosting investment and growth.
