As of 2020, women participation in the ownership of businesses in Egypt was minimal, with almost five percent of the respondent businesses owned by females. The share declined even more to close to two percent when considering firms with majority female ownership. Moreover, approximately six percent of the Egyptian firms had a female as a top manager as of the same period. Female participation in business ownership in the country was lower than the world average, which was at 33.1 percent according to the same survey.
