Egypt’s Energy and Agricultural Gains Mark Development Breakthrough, Economist Says

Economics professor Dr. Amr Suleiman said Egypt had achieved what he described as a development miracle, citing a doubling of energy production and an expansion of agricultural land.

Suleiman pointed to those gains as evidence of the country’s development record over the past 12 years. He argued that numerical indicators offered a clearer account of progress than slogans.

Energy production was a central example in his assessment, with the reported doubling highlighting the scale of the change he attributed to state development efforts.

He also highlighted the increase in cultivated land as another measure of progress. His remarks placed energy and agriculture at the heart of his assessment of Egypt’s economic achievements.
