Finance<\/strong> Minister Ahmed Kouchouk presented the FY 2026\/27 budget <\/strong>to the House of the Representatives yesterday<\/strong>, targeting EGP 4 tn in total revenue \u2014 up 29% y-o-y \u2014 and EGP 5.1 tn in expenditures, up almost 11%, and aligning with targets previously reported<\/a> by EnterpriseAM. An overall deficit of 4.9%, down from 6.1%, is projected at the end of the current fiscal year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government is addressing current and potential risks by increasing the size and share of general reserves<\/strong>,\u201d<\/strong> Kouchouk told the House while delivering the financial statement. To hedge against volatility, contingency reserves have been nearly doubled to EGP 262.9 bn, representing 4.6% of total spending. <\/p>\n

Significant portions are ring-fenced to cover emergency volatility<\/strong>, with EGP 73.6 bn earmarked for potential increases in wages and EGP 65.2 bn for energy costs. Central to the state\u2019s de-risking strategy is a push to bring the debt-to-GDP ratio down by 3-4% to 78% by June 2027, while trimming external debt by USD 2 bn annually.<\/p>\n

The wage bill is set to rise 21% to EGP 821 bn to support an EGP 8k minimum wage.<\/strong> Total subsidy and social protection allocations stand at EGP 832.3 bn.<\/p>\n

\n

On a wider level<\/p>\n

The broader FY 2026\/27 economic plan, also presented to the house yesterday, expects a 5.2% growth<\/strong> while adding an extra 0.2% under a \u201ccautiously optimistic scenario.\u201d Four key sectors \u2014 agriculture, industry, wholesale\/retail trade, and construction \u2014 are slated to contribute approximately 62% of this expansion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are [prospects] for the Egyptian economy in manufacturing and exports,\u201d<\/strong> Planning Minister Ahmed Rostom told the House, saying the economy has shown resilience after \u201cfive consecutive shocks\u201d in recent years.<\/p>\n

The private sector is expected to contribute EGP 2.2 tn of EGP 3.7 tn penciled in for investments in the upcoming fiscal year. <\/strong>This amounts to 59% of the total investments, and less than that 63% projected in the current budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
