The terrorism threat to Egypt is being overstated due to sporadic and relatively low capability, yet high-profile, attacks on foreign tourists. The country’s overall risk outlook is remarkably positive as a result of enhanced political stability, IMF-mandated fiscal prudence, and cheap loans from the Gulf, as well as a boom in gas export revenues.
