Egypt Is Accelerating the Shift Toward a Cashless Economy
Egypt is rapidly modernising its payment ecosystem through government-led digitalisation initiatives, expanding instant payments and growing wallet adoption. While cash still accounts for around 31% of e-commerce payments, digital payments continue gaining market share as consumers increasingly embrace online commerce.
The Central Bank of Egypt is promoting financial inclusion through initiatives such as Meeza, instant payments and interoperable digital payment infrastructure, creating a stronger foundation for account-to-account and mobile payments.
