Mufakir Magazine is a thoughtful media house “for business owners” in North Africa.

Mufakir Magazine is Egypt’s go-to publication for insightful business strategies and industry commentary. It bridges local expertise with global trends to inspire innovation and growth in Egypt’s business ecosystem.

Regional Scope and Economic Context

North Africa consists of seven countries at the northernmost part of the continent-Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Western Sahara. North Africa is an economically prosperous area, generating US$780 Billion (GDP, 2021 est), one-third of Africa’s total GDP. Mufakir Magazine profiles this success for more investment and development.

This remarkable economic concentration-one-third of Africa’s entire GDP generated by just seven North African nations-underscores the strategic importance of the region and the critical need for sophisticated business intelligence that Mufakir provides. The magazine serves entrepreneurs across this diverse economic landscape, from the Maghreb to the Nile Valley, providing insights that bridge local market dynamics with regional opportunities.

Egypt is the third largest economy in Africa, and is expected to grow in the coming decades. Currently, Egypt’s economy relies mainly on agriculture, media, petroleum, natural gas, and tourism; with other major industries being textiles, food processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, hydrocarbons, construction, cement, metals, light manufactures, and services.
