Egypt GDP grows 3.5pc in Q4 of fiscal 2013/14

CAIRO, September 13, 2014

Egypt's gross domestic product grew 3.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of the 2013/14 fiscal year, signalling that the economy was finally recovering from recent turmoil, the official Mena news agency quoted Finance Minister Hani Dimian as saying.

Political turmoil since the 2011 uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak has hurt Egypt's economy and hit investor confidence. The government is now walking a fine line between trying to cut its deficit whilst luring investors and restoring growth.
