At this year\u2019s EnterpriseAM Egypt Forum \u2014 we sat down for a keynote interview with Dr. Rania Al Mashat, the Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation to unpack Egypt's new economic game plan.<\/strong> The minister detailed the strategy to anchor expectations and propel the private sector into the driver's seat, fueled by a pool of concessional finance to offset high interest rates. Al Mashat highlighted a structural shift in GDP, with high-productivity sectors like manufacturing and ICT now leading the charge and private investment reaching 57%, setting the stage for 2026 as a key inflection point.<\/p>\n

Anchoring expectations with a clear economic narrative: <\/strong>\u201cAnchoring expectations is a very important objective... It means that you need to be clear. You need to be clear with your policies, you need to be clear with the tools that you\u2019re going to use,\u201d she said. \u201c[This is the] reason why we came out with\u00a0Egypt\u2019s narrative for economic development<\/a>\u2014and the rest of it is policies for growth, jobs, and resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s structural reform program rests on three pillars.<\/strong> \u201cFirst, maintaining macroeconomic stability. Second, pushing more competitiveness and increasing private sector engagement. And the third is the green transition.\u201d The narrative includes time-bound commitments so the private sector can track progress.<\/p>\n

Where is GDP growth coming from? <\/strong>The key metric, she explained, is not just the headline GDP number (averaging 4.4% this year, 5% last quarter) but its source. \u201cIt\u2019s all coming from industry, the ICT sector, and tourism,\u201d despite negative contributions from the Suez Canal and oil and gas. \u201cGDP is really being pushed by\u2026 more industrialization, more productive sectors, more competition.\u201d She stressed these new sectors are diversified \u2014 pointing to pharmaceuticals, vehicle manufacturing, textiles, and chemical production \u2014 and have \u201chigh employment multipliers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe private sector needs to be the engine of growth,\u201d<\/strong> Al Mashat stated. The goal is to build \u201can economy that focuses more on high-productivity sectors, one that pushes more exports.\u201d She described this strategy as moving into a \u201ccontinuous circle\u201d where \u201cmacroeconomic stability\u2026 is maintained through fiscal, monetary, and governance of public investments. That is coupled with continuing reforms on the structural side, the real economy. And that leads to economic development, more exports, creating more foreign exchange, which pushes macroeconomic stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The private sector now accounts for 57% of total investments.<\/strong> This is supported by \u201cvery strict ceilings we have on public investment\u201d and reforms to \u201cease business [and] to create more competitive neutrality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clarity of policy is the key point for attracting investment<\/strong>, Al Mashat said, adding that \u201cnobody wants to work in a high-inflation context.\u201d She explained that \u201cto regain credibility, real interest rates are kept high for some time,\u201d underscoring that maintaining macroeconomic stability through clear fiscal, monetary, and public investment governance \u201cis the only way we can guarantee the continuation of the GDP rebound we are seeing today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Utilizing international concessional finance:<\/strong> Addressing the challenge of high interest rates, Al Mashat said companies are already \u201cbenefiting from concessional finance from different IFIs,\u201d such as the EBRD and IFC. Egypt, she explained, acts as a \u201cplatform\u201d for these institutions to channel private sector financing. \u201cIn four years, more than USD 16 bn went to the private sector,\u201d she noted, \u201cwhether through credit lines, equity increases, or concessional finance.\u201d Initiatives such as Hafiz<\/a>, the Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy (NWFE<\/a>), and a recent EUR 1.8 bn investment guarantee help \u201cleverage more financing from EBRD or EIB for the private sector in Egypt.\u201d These mechanisms, she added, enable Egyptian and foreign firms to \u201caccess cheaper financing compared to local sources\u201d by leveraging Egypt\u2019s \u201cvery strong relationships with the international community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focusing on the real economy, not just macro stability. <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019re focused on the ground,\u201d she stated. Al Mashat pointed to \u201creal credit from the banking sector to the private sector,\u201d which is \u201cmoving upwards\u201d and \u201cgoing mostly to the industrial sector.\u201d This, she said, is part of a \u201cvery consistent narrative\u201d where policy is reflected in real-world results. While macroeconomic stability is \u201cchapter one,\u201d it is supported by an industrial policy, an FDI policy, and a new trade policy for the first time since the 2000s. \u201cAll of this is tied together with a very clear structural reform program\u201d that includes vocational training and localization at the governorate level, Al Mashat concluded.<\/p>\n

Managing the employment transition and the rise of AI:<\/strong> Addressing concerns about the national narrative's plan to shift from \u201cnon-tradeable sectors\u201d \u2014 which employs many low-skill workers \u2014 to tradeable ones, the minister said the paths \u201care not mutually exclusive.\u201d She noted that the plan emphasizes vocational training through PPPs, offering private sector opportunities to harness the demographic dividend, alongside growth in outsourcing. The objective, she explained, is to build a \u201cspectrum of different jobs\u201d in sectors with higher productivity and stronger employment multipliers. She cited tourism as a high-multiplier sector \u2014 with a 1-to-3 ratio \u2014 that remains resilient to AI disruption, adding that even with automation, \u201cyou need somebody to dissect and analyze that data.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2026 outlook: <\/strong>\u201cI think that 2026 is going to be a very important inflection point or year for Egypt. When I take a look at the consistent performance over the past four quarters, it gives me a lot of faith that when we\u2019re doing policies in the right direction, they\u2019re being reflected,\u201d She said. \u201cAny turnaround that happens with the Suez Canal is going to be creating an extra push. What we're seeing with respect to the recovery in the oil and gas sector is also quite positive. Tourism next year is going to be another record. This year is; next year, hopefully, it will be as well. So 2026 to me is, I would say, a year of really dramatic change.\u201d<\/p>\n

We have a window of opportunity with what\u2019s happening globally<\/strong>, and that window of opportunity means that those countries that have a very strong narrative are matching it with the reforms on the ground. Our numbers are showing improvement. We want to maintain that momentum and push forward. It takes an ecosystem. It takes all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
