أثر تحويلات العاملين في الخارج على النمو الاقتصادي في مصر

Abstract EN

The study tried to test the causal relationship between foreign transfers and economic growth in Egypt during the period (1987-2019).

the study is based on the assumption that there is a two-way extrapolation relationship between external transfers and economic growth, meaning that external transfers cause economic growth measured by the gross domestic product in the Egyptian economy, also, the gross domestic product causes external remittances, and therefore the external remittances of workers abroad are expected to have an important impact on the economic growth of the Egyptian economy.

it has been shown that the causal relationship between real GDP and net real transfers from abroad is one-way in the long term from net external transfers from abroad to real GDP, meaning that real external transfers cause real GDP in the long term according to the results of the study, while in the short term, there is no causal relationship between net foreign remittances and economic growth in Egypt.
