<\/a> Preliminary gov\u2019t figures show Egypt\u2019s GDP growth rose to 5.3% in FY2017-18: <\/strong>Egypt\u2019s GDP grew to 5.3% in FY2017-18, its highest rate in a decade, according to preliminary figures that Planning Minister Hala El Saeed announced yesterday during the Madbouly Cabinet\u2019s weekly meeting. GDP grew to 5.4% in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year that ended on 30 June, thanks largely to a growth in both government and private sector investments and exports, which together make up 74% of total economic growth in FY2017-18, according to a cabinet statement (pdf)<\/a><\/u>. Non-oil exports were up 12.3% y-o-y for the year to USD 24.1 bn, led by increased exports from the chemical, textile, and engineering industries.<\/p>\n

Finance Minister Mohamed Maait reaffirmed that Egypt achieved a primary surplus of 0.2% for the first time in 15 years in FY2017-18<\/strong>, according to a statement from the State Information Service<\/a><\/u>.<\/strong> The overall budget deficit is also currently under 10% and the debt-to-GDP ratio had also dropped, he said, without mentioning figures. Maait had previously said<\/a><\/u> that Egypt\u2019s overall budget deficit is expected to have narrowed to 9.8% in the last fiscal year. The Madbouly Cabinet will be working to achieve a primary budget surplus of 2% for FY2018-19, in addition to a GDP growth rate of 5.8% and sovereign debt level of 93% of GDP.<\/p>\n

Economists polled by Reuters aren\u2019t as optimistic about this year\u2019s GDP projections, seeing the economy growing at 5.2% in FY2018-19. <\/strong>The figure has even fallen short of the IMF\u2019s projection of 5.5%. \u201cThe country has made significant progress under the IMF loan programme thus far and therefore Egypt\u2019s medium-term economic growth prospects remain strong,\u201d NKC African Economics\u2019 Nadene Johnson tells the newswire<\/a><\/u>, adding that pushing ahead \u201cwith the difficult reforms will be key to unlocking Egypt\u2019s growth potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for next year\u2019s projects<\/strong>, the median forecast of 12 respondents was for GDP to reach 5.5%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
