Egypt scores 71/100 (Grade B), ranking 4th of 54 African markets and unchanged since Jul 2026. Its strongest pillar is Power Infrastructure at 96 of 100, with three of five pillars rated green. Its largest drag is Currency & GDP, at 42 of 100.
Each pillar carries its own strength out of 100, banded red, amber or green. Arrows mark movement since the previous snapshot.
The composite out of 100 is the weighted sum of these five pillars. A pillar’s figure is its own strength out of 100, measured against the most that pillar could contribute, which is what the red, amber and green bands read against. Full pillar weighting is available to institutions under NDA: request a briefing. Full method
Each axis is a pillar as a share of its own maximum, so a balanced market reads as a regular pentagon and a lopsided one as a spike. Hover a point for the exact figure.

Three ministries are jointly building an investment map of sites suitable for large-scale facilities, leaning on a renewable build-out targeted to reach 45% of the energy mix within two years. The strategy is explicitly about becoming a regional hub rather than only serving domestic demand.
The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority granted Hassan Allam Digital Infrastructure a licence to build and operate data centres and sell cloud services, with $400m committed to the first phase. It is the tenth such licence issued in two years, aimed at serving government and enterprise demand onshore.
The two are planning a $250m facility at Maadi Technology Park with about 25MW of IT load, which would be the country’s first hyperscale-class site. It marks Gulf operator capital entering the Egyptian market directly rather than through a local reseller.
