Egypt's Outdoor Advertising Market Rises by 53% in 2024
Jan 29, 2025
Egypt's out-of-home (OOH) advertising market experienced a 53% growth in spending in 2024, according to a report from AdMazad, an OOH advertising performance measurement company. The report revealed a jump in spending for various forms of OOH advertising, such as billboards, from EGP 4.2 billion in 2023 to EGP 6.3 billion in 2024.
The growth is attributed to increased demand for OOH spaces and a shift towards visually engaging content, alongside the expansion of digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising inventory, which enables more dynamic and measurable campaigns. Over 50,000 billboards were audited across major cities such as Greater Cairo, Alexandria and the North Coast.
The real estate sector led the charge with an 85% increase in spending for OOH advertising, capturing 60% of the market share. Other sectors also saw growth; healthcare advertising rose by 40%, automotive sector advertisers increased by 43% with a 155% boost in expenditure, and home appliances witnessed a 243% surge in spending.
High-traffic areas, including the Ring Road and Sheikh Zayed, demonstrated strong utilisation rates, reflecting the impact of urbanisation. Conversely, West and South Cairo neighbourhoods, such as Mohandeseen and Dokki, underperformed, indicating a market shift towards the outskirts of Greater Cairo.
The total impressions are 154.2 billion in 2024, a 12.5 billion increase from the previous year.

IMF Program for Egypt: Fifth, Sixth Reviews May Be Merged
Taarek Refaat The International Monetary Fund (IMF) may merge its fifth and sixth reviews of Egypt's $8 billion loan program, according to three informed sources. This potential move could delay the disbursement of the next loan tranche by as much as six months. The IMF had approved the fourth review of the program in March 2025, which led to the release of $1.2 billion. A team from the Fund visited Egypt in May to begin the fifth review, but no official approval has been announced since then. The $8 billion Extended Fund Facility was initially approved in March 2024 and spans 46 months. At the time, Egypt was facing a severe shortage of foreign currency and inflation had surged to a peak of 38% in September 2023. According to Reuters' estimates, Egypt has received around $3.5 billion under the arrangement so far. One source noted that Egypt's progress on structural reforms—which are a central component of the IMF program—has been slow. These reforms include reducing the state's role in the economy through asset sales and privatization. Egypt reportedly failed to meet half of the structural benchmarks in the last two reviews. However, the source added that fiscal reforms, including taxation, have been proceeding relatively smoothly. As of early July, Egypt has not been placed on the IMF Executive Board's agenda, which runs through July 11, according to the IMF's official website. This absence from the schedule suggests that the review process may be delayed until at least late summer. The next possible opportunity for a board meeting may not come until December 2025 at the earliest. The IMF has also not yet published the staff report from the fourth review. A source stated that the Egyptian government requested a delay in order to finalize and announce new tax measures aimed at broadening the country's revenue base. On Sunday, Egypt's Parliament passed an increase in the value-added tax (VAT), which will raise taxes on services such as construction, crude oil, cigarettes, and alcohol. This step may facilitate the release of the IMF's staff report in the near future. The Egyptian Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank have not commented publicly on these developments. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"

Trump Imposes 20% Tariff on Vietnam in New Trade Deal
Taarek Refaat Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States has finalized a new trade agreement with Vietnam, concluding months of tense negotiations. The deal imposes a 20% tariff on Vietnamese imports into the U.S., while securing zero tariffs on American exports to Vietnam. Trump revealed the agreement via his social media platform, Truth Social, declaring it 'an honor' to reach a deal with To Lam, Secretary-General of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party. The new tariff structure is a scaled-back version of Trump's earlier proposal in April, which called for a 46% levy on Vietnamese goods. 'Vietnam will now offer the United States much greater access to its markets,' Trump stated. 'There will be no tariffs on American exports.' Balancing a Growing Trade Imbalance The move comes as the U.S. continues to grapple with a significant trade deficit with Vietnam — one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing economies and a major exporter of electronics, apparel, and furniture to the United States. While Vietnam had hoped to avoid broad-based tariffs, Trump insisted on a punitive approach, arguing that Hanoi had 'benefited unfairly from open U.S. markets for too long.' Tariffs on Transshipped Goods In a significant escalation, Trump also confirmed that goods transshipped through Vietnam from third countries would face a 40% tariff, a measure aimed at cracking down on tariff circumvention by countries like China that reroute exports through Vietnamese ports. American SUVs to Enter Vietnamese Market? Trump emphasized that the deal is not just about tariffs, but also market expansion for U.S. industries. He specifically highlighted American-made SUVs, calling them 'a great addition to Vietnam's production and consumption lines.' 'In my view, the American SUV, sometimes known as the 'big engine car,' which performs very well in the United States, will be a fantastic fit for Vietnam,' Trump said. Economic and Political Reactions Economists warn the agreement could strain U.S.-Asia trade dynamics, particularly given Vietnam's central role in global supply chains. However, pro-Trump business groups have hailed the deal as strategic. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"
