An examination of the various areas of the service sector in Egypt that are leading indicators of the country's competitiveness
Developing an efficient and competitive service sector is an essential requirement for a strong economy. According to recent official figures, the service sector accounts for 60 percent of GDP in Egypt and more than half of total employment. It is also of strategic importance in terms of its links with other sectors of the economy, and as such its efficiency is a determinant of the overall competitiveness of the Egyptian economy.
This collection of studies, which grew out of a conference held in Cairo in December 2009, presents an overview of the service sector in Egypt and its role in the Egyptian economy, focusing on an optimal and comprehensive strategy for the sectors of tourism, construction, banking, wholesale and retail distribution, roads, and information and communications technology. The studies discuss the role of each sector in Egypt’s economy, the main challenges facing its further development, optimal strategies to address challenges, and recommendations for policy and regulatory reform.
Hanaa Kheir-El-Din is professor emeritus of economics at Cairo University.
Naglaa El Ehwany is a professor of economics at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science, Cairo University.
