Egypt

Egypt is one of the Arab world's largest and most diversified economies, drawing on the Suez Canal, tourism, remittances, and energy, though it has struggled with high debt, inflation, and a currency repeatedly devalued.

The most populous Arab nation has pursued IMF-backed reforms and megaprojects, including a new administrative capital, even as economic strain weighs on a large and growing population.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include the Suez Canal (a vital source of foreign exchange), tourism, natural gas, remittances from Egyptians abroad, agriculture along the Nile, and construction.
