(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 26, 2008 ) New Delhi, India - RNCOS, a leading market research firm, said in its new report “Egypt Banking Sector Analysis”, with the significantly low penetration and growing middle class segment, the total deposits at banks in Egypt are projected to grow at a CAGR of 14% from 2007-08 to 2010-11.

As per the report, banking penetration is quite low in Egypt and most of the Egyptians are still unbanked. This is evident from the fact that only 10% of Egyptians currently have a bank account, and only 4% had a debit card as on end of 2007. But the growing middle class population (due to increasing income) and rising awareness level is enabling this unbanked population to access banking services like bank deposits facility. Thus, prospects of the banking sector are reasonably bright as the emergence of middle class population will support the rising demand of banking services like saving and current account deposits and related services like payment cards.

But the most astonishing fact about the Egyptian banking industry is that it will remain unaffected by the ongoing economic meltdown. As per a Research Analyst at RNCOS, “We do not see any significant impact of global financial turmoil on the deposits as the Egyptian system is dominated by state-owned banks. Otherwise also, the system is enjoying a high-support environment, with the country's authorities having historically demonstrated both their willingness and their ability to intervene and prevent a banking default by any of the Egyptian banks, irrespective of their size or relative importance to the system.”
