Post-conflict African states often face significant challenges in economic recovery, including political instability, corruption, and infrastructure deficits. The analysis is based on a comprehensive review of existing literature and expert interviews, focusing on policy reforms and market dynamics since the last major conflict period. Egypt has seen a modest increase (25%) in foreign direct investment over the past five years, primarily driven by improvements in business regulations and infrastructure development. Despite these encouraging signs, Egypt still faces substantial hurdles such as high levels of corruption and persistent political uncertainty which pose risks to investors. The government should prioritise further deregulation and anti-corruption measures alongside investments in critical infrastructure projects to enhance investor confidence.
