Macroeconomic Forecast Egypt

February 2007 | Macroeconomic Forecasts

We remain confident in our optimistic real GDP growth forecasts for 2007-2011, after our 6.8% revised forecast for FY2005/06 came in just a percentage point below the actual outcome of 6.9%, following a very strong final quarter. Indeed, growth hit 7.2% in Q106/07, with particularly strong performances from the natural gas and Suez canal sectors.
