In 2026, the Egyptian government allocated an estimated $2.6 billion to its defense budget, representing a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2% from 2022 to 2026. The defense budget is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% over the forecast period, reaching $4.1 billion by 2031. This increase in defense expenditure is expected to be driven by higher investment in acquisition and RDT&E programs, with the Egyptian government increasing R&D and acquisition funding to bolster its defense posture.
Egyptian defense expenditure is being driven by instability in neighboring Libya and Mali, and in North Africa more broadly, coupled with escalating friction with Ethiopia over its construction of a dam on the Nile. With Egypt’s geopolitical stability and agriculture at risk, Egypt is expected to strengthen its defense capabilities to reinforce its negotiating position and encourage Ethiopia to agree to a negotiated settlement..
