The Dollar Declines… Against the Pound
By Mohamed Negm It seems that the Egyptian economy has begun its journey out of what was described as the 'bottleneck' into which it was pushed in 2022/2023, a period that witnessed a slowdown in GDP growth, rising inflation rates, and the return of the black market for foreign currency trading — all signs of economic stagnation or slowdown accompanied by rising prices of goods and services, driven by external pressures and domestic imbalances that required correction. So, can we now be 'optimistic' after noticing the depreciation of the US dollar against the Egyptian pound, reaching an average of around 49.5 pounds per dollar? This coincided with an increase in GDP growth rates, now around 4%, and expected to rise to above 4.6% next year. Fueling this optimism are rising revenues from tourism, noticeable improvements in income from the Suez Canal, and—most importantly—a major rebound in remittances from Egyptians abroad, following a sharp decline in previous years. But is this 'optimism' truly based on objective grounds and official figures, or is it merely hopeful anticipation backed by the prayers of sincere Egyptians? We must first recall that Egypt endured tough economic conditions in recent years: starting with the negative repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by the Russia-Ukraine war, and later the renewed Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people from October 7, 2023, until today — with no genuine hope in sight for an end to the war. Those conditions led to slower economic growth, consecutive increases in public debt (especially foreign debt), a severe inflation wave, and a steep drop in Egypt's foreign currency reserves — particularly the US dollar, the primary currency for financing imports and servicing debts. Then, with God's will and Egypt's dedicated efforts, the economy managed to regain some breath, reactivate movement, and begin a safe path back toward pre-crisis stability. The recovery efforts began with Egypt seeking a new reform program agreement with the IMF worth $12 billion in funding over four years. At the same time, the government succeeded in signing a massive investment deal with the UAE to develop land in Ras El-Hikma worth billions of dollars, alongside other European and Gulf investments. These injected new vitality into Egypt's economy and helped the Central Bank initiate a new monetary policy targeting inflation reduction and the elimination of the dollar black market. The first steps came on March 7, 2024, with the liberalization of the foreign exchange market according to supply-and-demand mechanisms. Interest rates on bank deposits were raised to 28%, while international support exceeding $50 billion in aid and foreign investment was secured. Meanwhile, the government launched new fiscal and social policies to contain inflation and manage the budget deficit: reducing subsidies (especially on petroleum products), cutting expenditures, prioritizing essential spending, pushing forward privatization, and encouraging private-sector investments. All these policies combined helped stabilize the exchange rate, with a gradual decline reaching 49.5 pounds per dollar on average, while interest rates fell to 25% and inflation dropped to around 15% in June. In addition, foreign reserves rose to about $49 billion, enough to cover six months of imports (traditionally only three months). So far, macroeconomic indicators are improving — giving us reason to be optimistic. The economic 'blood flow' has returned to the veins. But what about the near future? First, it must be stressed that increasing foreign currency inflows remains the optimal solution for improving domestic conditions. These inflows stem from five known sources, highly sensitive to external global conditions as well as the seriousness and speed of reforms at home. 1. Remittances from Egyptians abroad are the highest source, recently exceeding $33 billion — up 70% from the previous year (23 billion in 2022, 25 billion in late 2023, and steadily rising back toward pre-crisis norms). This rebound is largely due to higher Egyptian bank interest rates and the elimination of the black market. 2. Exports form the second source. However, Egypt faces a chronic trade deficit. At the end of last year, the trade balance hit about $108 billion, with imports at 72 billion and exports at only 32.5 billion, leaving a deficit of 39.5 billion. Encouragingly, in April the monthly trade deficit declined to $3.42 billion (down from 3.78 billion the previous month) thanks to a 19% rise in exports (to 4.10 billion) and a 4.5% drop in imports (to 7.23 billion). The government aims to gradually reduce this deficit, targeting exports worth $100 billion over the next five years. 3. Tourism revenues represent the third foreign currency stream. With Egypt's diverse tourism offerings, the country aims to host 30 million tourists annually by 2030. Tourism revenues reached $14 billion last year, up from 11 billion the year before. Over 9 million tourists visited Egypt in the first half of this year (a 22% increase YoY). Revenues are expected to reach $16 billion by year-end, supported by 5,000 newly built hotel rooms and another 18,000 under construction. 4. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is the fourth source. FDI peaked at $46 billion in FY 2023/2024 (up from just 10 billion the year before). The UAE accounted for 70% (mainly the Ras El-Hikma project), followed by the US (5.5%), the UK (5.2%), and Italy (4.7%). Investments were directed into construction (64%), services (16%), manufacturing (8%), and oil (8%). However, FDI has since dropped to about $10 billion this year, though it is expected to rebound gradually to $16.5 billion by 2027. 5. Suez Canal revenues form the fifth source. The Canal generated more than $10.5 billion up to June 2023, but revenues dropped 61% last year to only $4 billion, due to Houthi disruptions in the Red Sea. To counter this, the Canal Authority expanded services, storage facilities, and maritime industries, while the Suez Canal Economic Zone attracted $8.3 billion in foreign investments across 272 projects. Additionally, there are temporary sources such as foreign aid, US assistance (which has significantly shrunk), and loans from the World Bank and IMF tied to reform programs. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Egypt, UNDP discuss outcomes of joint projects, future environmental cooperation
Manal Awad, Egypt's Minister of Local Development and Acting Minister of Environment, has met with Ghimar Deeb, Deputy Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Egypt, to review current and future cooperation between the ministry and UNDP. The discussions focused on the progress of joint projects, their successes, and the challenges encountered. The Saturday meeting was attended by Mohamed Bayoumi, Assistant Resident Representative of UNDP; Heba Wafa, Director of Local Development, Social Inclusion and Women's Empowerment Programmes at UNDP; Hoda El Shawadfy, Assistant Minister for Ecotourism; Soha Taher, Head of the Central Administration for Climate Change and International Cooperation; and Mona Shehab, World Bank Project Coordinator at the Ministry of Local Development. Awad reviewed a comprehensive presentation assessing the status of projects jointly implemented with UNDP. The evaluation covered project management mechanisms, progress achieved compared with planned timelines, challenges faced, and the measures taken to address them. The presentation highlighted joint projects in climate change and biodiversity, including Egypt's international reporting obligations—such as transparency reports, biodiversity reports, and national adaptation plans. These reports serve as key references for the ministry's work across areas including climate change, water, energy, agriculture, coastal protection and biodiversity. Among the reviewed implementation projects was the Green Sharm initiative in Sharm El-Sheikh, a major success story that followed Egypt's hosting of the Climate Conference. Another was the Red Sea Protection Project, which includes coral reef preservation and exemplifies long-term cooperation with UNDP in safeguarding Egypt's nature reserves. The Migratory Birds Protection Project—focusing on renewable energy projects, particularly wind farms—was also highlighted as a notable success. Awad emphasised the ministry's role as Egypt's national focal point for key UN-affiliated international financing mechanisms, including the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility, and the Adaptation Fund. Through these, the ministry supports projects for other ministries, such as the coastal protection project of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, funded by the Green Climate Fund—one of the largest in the Arab region. The ministry also plays a coordinating role in electricity sector mitigation projects, funded by the Global Environment Facility, as well as energy-efficient building initiatives. The meeting also reviewed ozone-related projects implemented in cooperation with UNDP and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), as well as progress on Egypt's National Adaptation Plan for Climate Change. Awad was briefed on projects supporting local communities in nature reserves, including the Gharqana Village initiative in the Nabq Reserve, South Sinai. The project offers services to residents and creates jobs for women, girls, and Bedouin communities through the production and marketing of handicrafts. She also discussed future tourism development in the area. She directed the adoption of specific development measures for Wadi Degla Reserve to strengthen its protection, preserve its natural resources, and boost ecotourism. In addition, she reviewed projects to support private sector participation in solar power plant development, particularly in Sharm El-Sheikh, stressing the importance of removing implementation obstacles to encourage wider reliance on renewable energy. In conclusion, Awad underlined the importance of sustained coordination with UNDP to accelerate progress and expand the scope of joint projects. She stressed that maximising the benefits of international partnerships is vital to meeting global challenges and reinforcing Egypt's position as a regional leader in environmental and climate action.

Egypt lands Coral Bridge submarine cable, establishing first direct digital link with Jordan in 25 years
Egypt's Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat met on Saturday with Jordan's Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Sami Smeirat and South Sinai Governor Khaled Mubarak, via video conference, to witness the landing of the high-capacity Coral Bridge submarine cable system in Taba, Egypt. The Coral Bridge is the first direct submarine cable connecting Egypt and Jordan in more than 25 years, providing a high-speed link supported by a large number of optical fiber strands running through the Gulf of Aqaba. Officials described the project as a pivotal step in strengthening digital infrastructure across the Middle East. It also marks the first submarine communications system to be landed at the Taba landing station, one of several new digital infrastructure points developed by Telecom Egypt in the Sinai Peninsula. In the coming days, the cable will also be landed in Aqaba, Jordan, at the Global Aqaba Digital City Data Center. Once operational, it will ensure service continuity by providing alternative routes and backup connectivity for major corporations and cloud service providers hosted at the data centre. Spanning 15 kilometres, the system is designed with high-capacity optical fibres to accommodate the rapid growth of international data traffic, particularly from artificial intelligence applications and data centres. Its short length enhances transmission speed and reduces costs, further boosting competitiveness. Minister Talaat described Coral Bridge as a significant addition to the network of Arab submarine cables, underscoring its importance for Egypt-Jordan cooperation in the ICT sector. He noted that it is the first submarine system to be landed in Sinai, part of a wider strategy to diversify Egypt's international infrastructure by building new landing stations and terrestrial routes linking the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. He highlighted ongoing plans to expand Egypt's submarine cable network in Sinai, providing closer access points for neighbouring countries, improving regional connectivity, and increasing the efficiency of global data transmission. More than 90% of internet traffic between East and West currently passes through Egypt, which today hosts 15 submarine cable systems with around 11 landing stations. Jordan's Minister Sami Smeirat said the project is a practical embodiment of Egyptian-Jordanian cooperation, following the 33rd session of the Egyptian-Jordanian Higher Committee held last week in Amman. He emphasised that Coral Bridge will serve as a new digital gateway for Jordan, helping position both countries as regional—and even global—hubs for data transmission. He also extended an invitation to Talaat to visit Jordan for further discussions on deepening ICT collaboration. Developed according to the highest technical and environmental standards, the Coral Bridge was launched under a January 2024 cooperation agreement between Telecom Egypt and Jordan's Naitel, the telecom arm of Aqaba Digital City. The project reflects the growing importance of cross-border digital partnerships in driving sustainable growth, enhancing regional connectivity, and paving the way for future infrastructure projects across the Middle East and beyond.
