Egypt’s Finance Minister Prioritises Revenue and Growth to Reduce Debt

Egyptian Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk has identified expanding domestic and dollar-denominated resources and strengthening economic growth as priorities for reducing debt.

Kouchouk said these efforts are also aimed at widening fiscal space, giving the government greater room to manage its finances.

His remarks linked debt reduction to a broader economic approach centred on building resources and supporting growth.

The minister placed both domestic and foreign-currency resources at the heart of that approach, alongside stronger economic activity.
