Full analysis

Egypt attracted around $9 billion in FDI in the first half of 2025, driven by Gulf, European, and Asian investors targeting construction, infrastructure, and green energy sectors. The macroeconomic backdrop has materially improved since the March 2024 adoption of a flexible exchange rate and the $8 billion IMF Extended Fund Facility programme, which restored hard-currency access and investor confidence. Egypt's construction pipeline stands at an estimated $120 billion in active projects and a future pipeline valued above $565 billion. The EU remains Egypt's largest trading partner at 24.6% of total trade, and new bilateral deals — notably a $29 billion Qatari coastal mega-project and a $5 billion Scatec renewable energy commitment signed June 2026 — underline accelerating foreign capital deployment. Egypt's fintech ecosystem has grown to over 177 startups, with the EBRD investing a record €1.3 billion across 26 Egyptian projects in 2025 alone, increasingly channelled toward digital financial infrastructure and green finance.

Norwegian major Scatec announced an additional $5 billion renewable energy commitment to Egypt during a high-level government meeting on 29 June 2026, validating the sector's institutional pull. Simultaneously, the IMF approved a $1.3 billion Resilience and Sustainability Facility in March 2025 specifically to fund Egypt's clean-energy transition, unlocking co-financing routes for private investors alongside multilateral capital.

Market drivers:

• Government target of 42% installed power capacity from renewables by 2030 and 12,000 MW by 2026, backed by active Feed-in Tariffs of up to 8.40 US cents/kWh for solar

• IFC $150M green-finance partnership with Banque Misr (February 2026) and EBRD 60% green-finance allocation in Egypt creating a deep co-financing ecosystem

Risks:

• Domestic energy shortage and continued LNG import dependency could delay grid integration timelines
• Egyptian pound volatility and USD-denominated revenue mismatches may compress EGP-converted returns
