Goldman Sachs Forecasts Egypt to Become the World’s 7th Largest Economy by 2075
Egypt is projected to rank among the world’s top ten economies by 2075, according to a new report by Goldman Sachs, marking a remarkable shift in global economic power toward emerging markets in Asia and Africa.
The report predicts that China, India, and the United States will dominate the global economic landscape by the middle of the century, with gross domestic products (GDP) of $57 trillion, $52.5 trillion, and $51.5 trillion, respectively. However, the standout surprise lies in the rise of several emerging economies — including Egypt, Nigeria, and Pakistan — which are expected to reshape the global financial order.
According to Goldman Sachs’ long-term projections, Egypt is set to become the world’s 7th largest economy by 2075, surpassing traditional powerhouses such as Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The country’s GDP is forecast to reach $10.4 trillion, driven by a rapidly expanding population, strong investment inflows, and continued industrial and infrastructure growth.
In the broader ranking, Indonesia is expected to claim the fourth spot with $13.7 trillion, followed by Nigeria ($13.1 trillion) and Pakistan ($12.3 trillion). Other major economies on the list include Brazil ($8.7 trillion), Germany ($8.1 trillion), Mexico and the UK ($7.6 trillion each), Japan ($7.5 trillion), Russia ($6.9 trillion), the Philippines ($6.6 trillion), France ($6.5 trillion), and Bangladesh ($6.3 trillion).
Further down the ranking — extending to the top 30 — appear Ethiopia ($6.2 trillion), Saudi Arabia ($6.1 trillion), Canada and Turkey ($5.2 trillion each), and Australia ($4.3 trillion).
Goldman Sachs’ findings highlight a profound transformation in global economic dynamics, as emerging markets with large populations and accelerating industrialization increasingly outpace traditional Western economies.
For Egypt, the projection underscores the country’s growing strategic role as an investment destination and production hub in Africa and the Middle East — a reflection of ongoing national efforts to diversify the economy, attract foreign capital, and strengthen technological and industrial capabilities over the coming decades.
