Egyptian Call Centers
As one of the largest countries in the region, with a dense population of residents, Egypt has been proactively positioning their nation as a call center destination for outside investors.
In an effort to invigorate the national economy with more free-market opportunities, the Egyptian government has opened the region with more pro-business regulations. This has given savvy business leaders access to the country’s already well-established infrastructure and population talent, which happens to be centralized to connect across world markets.
With close proximity to European markets at a far reduced labor rate, Egypt offers the convenience and access of the European market at a reduced cost.
The Call Center Industry in Egypt
Egypt’s well-developed infrastructure includes world-class roadways, railways, ports, and airports, all providing simple commercial access to Europe and beyond.
Many global brands have already laid roots in Egypt, as industries sharply expand, including markets in need of business process outsourcing.
As the most populous country in Africa and the Middle East, Egypt offers call center leaders an expanding labor pool that is being positioned to compete against the best offshore call center markets in the world.
The Call Center Workforce in Egypt
With nearly 100 million citizens, Egypt is one of the largest countries in the world. Their labor pool has long been known for exporting highly-educated and skilled workers, but as domestic demand for labor has increased, more young people are staying in Egypt to pursue fulfilling careers.
Boasting world-class universities and technical schools, approximately 300,000 university-educated Egyptians are produced each year; 22,000 of whom offer highly-coveted language skills, including English, French, and German.
Access to these skilled workers not only is in high supply in Egypt, but with the competitive rates for Egyptian workers much lower than their European counterparts, call center leaders can scale their productivity and efficiency for far less while securing the same customer service and technical expertise.
