What is GDP?
Gross domestic product, or GDP, is the sum of all consumption, investment, and government spending in an economy, plus the net exports.

GDP growth can give an idea of a country’s future finances. This is important for countries with a negative budget balance.

Egypt’s economy is quite stable for now, after years of political unrest that affected the economy.
