Report OverviewThe Egyptian economy is the
second-largest in the Middle East after Saudi
Arabia. The economy depends largely on
agriculture, tourism and cash remittances from
Egyptians working abroad, mainly in Saudi Arabia
and Gulf countries. With the government and banks
striving to offer basic financial services to the
unbanked population and banks expanding their
presence in rural areas, the Egyptian cards and
payments industry registered positive growth
during the review period (2009-2013).In July
2014, the newly elected President Abdel Fattah
El-Sisi announced a wide range of reforms,
introducing new taxes, increasing selected taxes,
and reducing energy subsidies which are
anticipated to spur economic growth over the
forecast period (2014-2018). Other Arab countries
including Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait have
committed around US20.0 billion to Egypt,
through a mix of central bank deposits, cash
grants, in-kind grants, and project aid, of which
about US15.0-16.0 billion was received as of
June 2014, according to the World Bank. The
reforms are anticipated to have a positive effect
on the cards and payments industry.Credit
transfers and payment cards were the preferred
payment instruments, having a combined industry
share of 94.6 in terms of transaction value in
2013. The share of payment cards is increasing as
the government and banks are increasing the
awareness levels and benefits among consumers and
merchants.
