High Inflation
Egypt's inflation rate of 28.3% is severely eroding purchasing power, disproportionately affecting the poorest households and undermining macroeconomic stability.
In Debt Distress
Egypt is currently classified as being in debt distress, meaning it is already experiencing difficulty meeting its debt obligations. Immediate restructuring or emergency financing may be required.
Negative Real Returns
Egypt's GDP growth of 2.4% is not outpacing inflation at 28.3%, meaning the economy is shrinking in real per-capita terms and eroding the value of domestic investment.
