STORYLINE:

The real GDP growth rate recovered to 3.5 percent during the first quarter (Q1) of the fiscal year (FY) 2024/2025, from July 1 to Sept. 30, compared to 2.7 percent during the same period in FY2023/2024.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday, the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation attributed this improvement to strong performance in key sectors, particularly non-petroleum manufacturing. 

This sector saw positive growth for the second consecutive quarter, recording a 7.1 percent growth rate in Q1 of FY2024/2025 compared to the same period in FY2023/2024.

According to the ministry, economic reform policies since March 2024 to restore macroeconomic stability and strengthen the governance of public investments also contributed to the GDP growth recovery.

Egypt achieved this growth despite a 68.4 percent contraction in Suez Canal activity during Q1 of FY2024/2025. Regional geopolitical tensions have decreased its revenues.

The ministry projected the GDP growth to reach 4 percent in FY2024/2025.
