Egypt's economy is one of the largest in Africa and the Middle East, shaped by agriculture, manufacturing, energy, and a rapidly expanding population. The Suez Canal provides vital global trade revenue, while tourism, remittances, and natural gas production are also major contributors. Agriculture remains significant with crops such as cotton, wheat, rice, and fruits, while manufacturing includes textiles, chemicals, and building materials. Structural reforms aim to stabilize the macroeconomic environment and attract foreign investment. Although inflation and unemployment pose challenges, growing energy projects, logistics expansion, and digital services continue to support long-term development.
