US President Donald Trump told reporters the shutdown is \u201clikely,\u201d warning Democrats that his administration could take \u201cirreversible\u201d action \u2014 including mass firings of federal workers and the elimination of \u201cprograms they like\u201d \u2014 if Congress fails to keep the government open. \u201cWe can get rid of a lot of things that we didn\u2019t want and they\u2019d be Democrat things.\u201d <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This would be the US\u2019 first shutdown since 2019<\/strong>, when a shutdown lasted around five weeks during Trump\u2019s first term. This time around, the stakes are slightly higher: The US Federal Reserve is set to meet at the end of October to discuss and make a decision on interest rates, and with a delay in government data expected \u2014 as well as potentially worse jobless data in light of Trump\u2019s warnings \u2014 the Fed\u2019s judgment could be further clouded ahead of the crucial decision.

buoyed by tourism, which grew 17.3% during the year, non-oil manufacturing, which grew 14.7%, and CIT activity, which recorded growth of 13.8%. Financial intermediation, ins., electricity, and construction also got a mention for seeing notable growth during the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Tourism was the fastest-growing sector during the fiscal year<\/strong>, boosted by large investments into tourism infrastructure and increased hotel capacity, enabling the nation to host more than 17 mn tourists over the year. We expect tourism to grow even further in the months to come with the official inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum only weeks away. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Non-oil manufacturing activity rebounded<\/strong> from a contraction of 5.2% during FY 2023-2024, making it the largest contributor to GDP growth during the fiscal year. \u201cThis progress was supported by measures introduced during the year, including the streamlining of customs clearance procedures for industrial goods, in addition to increased investments in the industrial sector,\u201d the report said. The offering of subsidized loans to priority sectors and support for SMEs also played a part in reviving activity. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A structural shift in investments:<\/strong> Public investment slipped to 43.3% of the total during FY 2024-2025, while private investment climbed to 47.5%, hitting its highest level in five years. This reflects the government\u2019s commitment to rationalizing public investment and boosting the private sector\u2019s contribution to the economy, which is a key requirement by the IMF under our USD 8 loan program. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>By the numbers:<\/strong> Public investment inched down to hit EGP 526.6 bn last fiscal year, down from EGP 627.5 bn a year earlier. Meanwhile, private investment climbed to EGP 590.7 bn in FY 2024-2025, up from EGP 474.7 bn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Key headwinds: <\/strong>The Suez Canal contracted by 52% during FY 2024-2025, revenues fell 47.7% to USD 3.8 bn during the fiscal year as geopolitical tensions in the region continued to impact maritime trade. Meanwhile, the contraction of the global waterway eased to just 5.5% in 4Q FY 2024-2025, compared to a sharp contraction of 68.2% in the same period a year earlier. <\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/budget-watch\/\">budget watch<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/economy\/\">economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/gdp\/\">GDP<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"672832 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"672832\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/10\/01\/672832\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-672832\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-672832 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/enterpriseam-egypt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/9\/715.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"672833\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"672833\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Energy<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/10\/01\/lpg-cylinders-may-be-exempt-from-upcoming-fuel-price-hikes-2\/\">\r\n                            LPG cylinders may be exempt from upcoming fuel price hikes                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/10\/01\/lpg-cylinders-may-be-exempt-from-upcoming-fuel-price-hikes-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The project will increase the capacity of the port\u2019s existing 2.4 km container berth by 2.1 mn TEUs to allow an annual capacity of 6.6 mn TEUs. Recent expansion work added 6.3 km to the port\u2019s length, which helped increase its overall handling capacity to 9-10 mn containers last year. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Infrastructure development for the new expansions has cost some USD 500 mn<\/strong>, according to our source.

Container traffic increased at the port, which accounts for nearly 80% of the country\u2019s transit trade, the source said.
