Amazon’s Investments Contribute Over EGP 29 Billion to Egypt’s Economy and Support 60,000 Jobs Over the Past Decade
Amazon announced that its cumulative investments have contributed over EGP 29 billion to Egypt’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over the past decade, while supporting more than 60,000 direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs across the country.
According to analysis by economic consultancy Keystone Strategy, these contributions span Amazon’s investments in infrastructure, technology, logistics, and employee compensation.
The findings were presented at the Global Entrepreneurship Festival in Cairo, held under the auspices of Prime Minister H.E. Dr. Mostafa Madbouly.
Since acquiring Souq.com in 2017 and officially launching Amazon.eg in 2021, the company has continuously expanded its economic footprint and services—including fast delivery via Amazon Now—while fostering thousands of local small and medium-sized selling partners.
Omar Elsahy, General Manager of Amazon Egypt, emphasized that these numbers reflect the company’s long-term confidence in the Egyptian market, resilient local businesses, and talented workforce, reaffirming Amazon’s commitment to sustained infrastructure investment and private-sector job creation.
