Abstract

Post-conflict African states often face significant challenges in economic recovery, including political instability, corruption, and infrastructure deficits.

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.
