Egypt’s economy has been boosted in the last three years by an upswing in tourism, strong remittances from Egyptian workers abroad and recently discovered natural gas fields coming on stream.

The economy is expected to grow 5.8% in the fiscal year ending on June 30, and 5.9% in 2020/21, a Reuters poll said in January.
