Market Growth Factors
The banking industry in Egypt is showing an increasing trend toward adopting digital banking and fintech technology in customary banking methods for mobile banking, online payments, and digital financial wallets. The growth in financial technology is largely driven by customer demand for convenience and security. Collaborations between financial service providers and fintech companies have fostered productivity and access to banking services for a majority of the unbanked public. The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) plays a key role in creating an enabling regulatory environment, and providing initiatives to support the adoption of digital solutions towards Egypt's cashless economy vision.
Based on directives issued by the Central Bank of Egypt, recent regulatory reforms aim to reshape the banking sector to achieve a more stable and diversified sector, promote financial inclusion, improve transparency, and ease compliance with international banking regulations. Such reforms will help increase accessibility to finance in underbanked areas such as rural and remote villages. This includes microfinance and support for SMEs, which are often considered key to growth and poverty reduction. Public financial literacy initiatives and partnerships between state, private and non-government actors have strengthened these developments.
The banking sector is benefiting from the diversification of the Egyptian economy. New investment and government projects such as the Suez Canal economic zone and the new administrative capital also increase demand for banking services in the construction, manufacturing, and tourism sectors. The banks have attracted these sectors by providing financing and support, developing infrastructural facilities, and creating a suitable investment climate for domestic and foreign investors. Partnerships with foreign financial institutions and better regulatory measures suggest the banking sector is gradually modernizing, and introducing greater investor confidence and Egypt's competitiveness in the global financial market.
