Full analysis

Egypt cemented its position as Africa's premier FDI destination in 2025, attracting $15.5 billion in inflows and ranking first on the continent and second in the Arab world. The government's national trade policy framework targets $145 billion in exports by 2030, backed by a nearly doubled export-rebate budget of EGP 45 billion for FY2025/26. Structural reforms — including a flexible exchange rate, expanded Authorized Economic Operator eligibility under the newly amended Customs Law (Decision 548/2025), and streamlined FDI rules — are drawing Gulf, European, and Asian capital into construction, green energy, and digital infrastructure. Electricity and renewables investment targets for FY2025/26 have nearly doubled year-on-year to EGP 136.3 billion, with the renewable share of the energy mix set to rise from 12% to 20%. The EU remains Egypt's largest trading partner at 24.6% of total trade, and Egypt's exports to the EU hit $11.6 billion in 2025 — all tariff-free for industrial goods — creating a compelling export-platform thesis for European investors.

Egypt's FY2025/26 plan nearly doubles electricity and renewables investment to EGP 136.3 billion and targets raising the renewable share of the energy mix from 12% to 20%, creating strong policy tailwinds for private-sector solar installers. Industrial off-takers in cement, steel, and food processing are actively scaling captive renewable procurement to hedge against volatile gas prices and meet decarbonisation commitments, with the 10th of Ramadan City industrial corridor identified as the most penetrable channel for behind-the-meter solar applications.
