Egypt’s budget deficit likely to fall to 6.3% of GDP – IMF

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is expected to narrow down its forecast for Egypt’s budget deficit by the end of fiscal year (FY) 2021/2022, according to the IMF’s latest Fiscal Monitor Report.

The decline is projected to be at a slower pace over the coming years as compared to previous expectations, the IMF said in its report.

The IMF expects that Egypt’s budget deficit would shrink to 6.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) by the end of FY2021/2022, compared to 7.3% in FY 2020/2021.

Moreover, the fund projects that the deficit would maintain declining to 4.4% of GDP in FY 2025/2026.

Primary surplus is expected to improve slightly to record 1.7% of GDP by the end of FY 2021/2022, as compared to the previous forecast of 1%, the report showed.

Meanwhile, public spending is projected to increase to 27.4% of GDP in FY 2021/2022, versus 27.2% that was recorded in FY 2020/2021.
