Significant growth in the Egyptian telecommunications sector and an increase in outsourcing service exports
Dr. Amr Talaat, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, announced that the telecommunications sector in Egypt achieved remarkable growth of 24.3% during the fourth quarter of the 2025/2026 fiscal year. This sector is considered one of the fastest-growing in the country, as it effectively contributes to supporting the national economy and providing new job opportunities for young people.
The Minister explained that Egypt's exports of outsourcing services—services provided by Egyptian companies to clients abroad—have risen to reach $5.1 billion. This figure reflects the confidence of global companies in Egyptian talent and the technical capabilities possessed by young people in the fields of programming and technical support.
These positive results are the outcome of the state's ongoing plans to develop digital infrastructure, deploy data centers, and train thousands of graduates in the latest global technologies. Through these efforts, the Egyptian government aims to transform Egypt into a leading regional hub for information technology and digital services.
This increase in exports contributes to providing foreign currency for the country, which helps stabilize the economy. These figures also open new horizons for Egyptian startups to expand their businesses in international markets, thereby strengthening Egypt's position on the global technology map.
In conclusion, these indicators confirm that the telecommunications sector is on the right path toward achieving the goals of the "Digital Egypt" strategy. The Ministry continues to work on attracting more foreign investment, ensuring sustainable growth and the provision of more specialized jobs for citizens across various governorates.
