Egypt benefits from a low cost environment with a large, young labor pool, as well as low utility and infrastructure costs.

With 60% of the population under the age of 30 and an estimated labor force of 26 million, Egypt offers a large labor force at a relatively low cost compared to other developing countries that operate in the labor intensive Apparel & Tailoring segment.
