This Perspective Piece examines policy implications derived from business research in Egypt within the broader context of African economies. No empirical results are presented; instead, a review of existing literature on African business practices in Egypt is conducted. Themes emerging from this review are used to identify policy areas requiring attention. Egyptian policymakers face complex challenges in balancing regulatory frameworks with the need for innovation and competitiveness. Addressing these policy paradoxes is crucial for fostering a robust business environment. Policymakers should prioritise reforms that encourage local entrepreneurship while also ensuring compliance with international standards, thereby promoting sustainable economic growth.
