Egypt retains #14 world ranking for job offshoring in 2019 index

Egypt retains #14 world ranking for job offshoring in 2019 index: Egypt continues to be an attractive outsourcing destination for multinational services companies due to the low cost of doing business and the quality of the labor force, according to a survey by global management consultancy AT Kearney. The firm’s 2019 Global Services Location Index, which ranks countries in terms of attracting offshored IT and business process jobs, shows Egypt retaining its #14 global ranking and continuing to lead Middle East and African countries. Egypt has remained competitive in part due to the construction of new technology parks outside of Cairo and the government’s focus on improving cybersecurity, the report notes.
