Egypt’s new cabinet, led by incumbent Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, was sworn in before President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Wednesday at the Al-Ittihadiya Palace in Cairo.

The reshuffled government, comprised of 30 ministers, reflects a focus on addressing economic challenges. Several ministries have been merged or replaced, particularly within the economic sphere. President Al-Sisi previously emphasized job creation and mitigating the impact of rising prices as key priorities for the new cabinet.

A notable change includes the appointment of Lieutenant General Abdel Megeed Sakr as Minister of Defence and Military Production, succeeding Mohamed Zaki.
