Towards an Evidence-Based Integrated National Financing Strategy: Egypt
July 2024
Commissioned by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia and the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development of Egypt, this infographic provides key insights from the “Towards an Evidence-Based Integrated National Financing Strategy for Egypt” report.
The insights were developed using 30 empirical assessments and artificial intelligence-powered tools, strategically designed to capture national contexts and catalyse transformative financing in Egypt. The foundational report lays a blueprint for unlocking financing potentials for Egypt. This could add at least $100 billion in additional sustainable development financing to support the country’s green and inclusive growth-led structural transformation as advanced under its 2030 Vision, and in the process, overcome five major financing challenges Egypt is facing: financing rifts, financing inequalities, fiscal space constraints, funding shortfalls and debt-financing challenges.
