Egypt: Country Context

Egypt has undergone significant political and economic transformations, focusing on strengthening national stability and fostering development. Since 2013, the country has prioritized security and economic growth, implementing major reforms, including the 2016 IMF-supported program, which stabilized macroeconomic indicators and boosted infrastructure investments. 

Within the framework of the Swiss cooperation programme with Egypt, SECO supports macro-economic reforms as well as more sustainable and inclusive economic development to the benefit of the population.

As a key regional player with a strategic location, Egypt continues to play a vital role in addressing security and development challenges while enhancing regional cooperation. Looking ahead, structural reforms and investments in sectors such as education, healthcare, and green infrastructure remain essential to consolidating progress, fostering prosperity, and addressing economic and social challenges in an ever-evolving global context.
