2 THE MIGRATION SITUATION

21 EMIGRATION MOVEMENTS

The so-called Arab Spring did not only have a significant social and economic impact on the region it

also had an impact on migration movements including immigration emigration and lsquoreturnrsquo

migration Several reports and surveys provide information on migration and the Arab Spring

including inter alia

The IOM (EN FR) survey Egypt after January 25 Survey of Youth Migration Intentions (May

2011) (EN) which provides information on how the events of the Arab Spring have influenced

their intention to migrate based on interviews with 750 Egyptian youths and

The New Eastern Outlook Open Research and Discussion Journal (EN) report Effect of the

Arab Spring on Migration (December 2011) (EN) which provides a brief general overview on

the effects of the Arab Spring on Migration

Furthermore IOM (EN FR) provides statistics on IOM-assisted movements across the Egyptian-Libyan

border throughout March 2011

IOM Statistics on Operations Egypt - Libya (23 March 2011) (EN)

When reading the following sections on emigration and immigration movements please bear in mind

that most of the data available are not recent enough to reflect migration movements that took place

in the course or in the aftermath of the Arab Spring due to the frequency of data collection

211 The Extent of Emigration Movements

Stock of Emigrants Abroad

Stock data on the number of Egyptian emigrants

abroad was provided by the latest Egyptian

population and housing census of 2006 which

contained a short module on Egyptians abroad This

module was based on questions to non-migrant

respondents in Egypt on their family members

abroad (table 21)

Another source for stock data on the number of

Egyptian emigrants are estimates based on consular

records provided by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign

Affairs (MFA) (AR EN FR) and the Egyptian Ministry

of Manpower and Emigration (MME) (EN AR) (table 22) According to the figures presented in tables

21 and 22 the number of Egyptians living abroad amounts to between 55 and 65 of the Egyptian

population

The Global Migrant Origin Database

(EN) launched by the Development

Research Centre on Migration

Globalisation and Poverty (EN) of the

University of Sussex (EN) provides

statistical data on Egyptian emigrants

based on data collected through

National Population and Housing Censuses of destination countries which is downloadable in excel

format here (EN)

Further data on the stock of emigrants is provided by international sources inter alia

The World Bank (AR EN FR) Migration and Remittances Factbook (EN) and

The UNDP (EN FR) Human Development Report (2009) (AR EN FR)

integration policies in destination countries with Europe and North America being oriented towards

integration which is not the case in Arab countries as pointed out in the CARIM (EN FR) report

distribution of Egyptian temporary labour

migrants which shows that 97 of temporary

labour migrants were male and 3 were female

in 2009 (graph 22)

Also regarding permanent emigration and those

who acquired emigrant capacity the majority of

emigrants was male with 836 (graph 23) The

terminological distinction between permanent

emigrants and lsquothose who acquired emigrant

capacityrsquo is explained in the publication History

and Statistics of Egyptian Emigration (2009) (AR)

of the Emigration Sector (AR EN) of the Ministry of Manpower and Emigration (EN) which states that an

Egyptian is considered having lsquoemigrant

capacityrsquo if he

Acquired the nationality of a foreign

country

Obtained a permanent residence permit

in a foreign country

Has lived in a foreign country for a

period of less than ten years or

Obtained an emigration permit from

one of the countries of emigration which

are determined by the minister

concerned with emigration affairs

foreign nationality has filled in form No 249

which is available at Egyptian embassies and

which confirms the acquisition of the foreign

nationality heshe is considered a permanent emigrant

3 TRANSNATIONAL LIFE OF MIGRANTS

31 NATIONAL LEGISLATION AND POLICY FRAMEWORK ON THE TRANSNATIONAL LIFE OF

MIGRANTS

The IOM (EN FR) study Dynamics of the Egyptian Diaspora Strengthening Development Linkages (2010)

(EN) which is based on a field survey of Egyptian emigrant communities in Kuwait the United Kingdom

and the United States of America provides information on Egyptian emigrant communities in these

countries and their links to their country of origin According to this study Egyptian emigrants reported

inter alia that many young expatriates refrained from visiting their country of origin because they

feared legal actions for not having completed their military service which is obligatory for Egyptian

nationals under the age of 30 years Exemptions from military service are possible but the required

document is difficult to obtain particularly due to the fact that the government missions that are

entrusted to issue this document come infrequently abroad Furthermore according to the same study

many expatriates reported that they were not in contact with their embassies abroad and expected little

help from them

Although the right to vote of all Egyptian nationals was granted by the constitution and by Law No 73 of

1953 which was amended in 2005 and 2011 voting was hardly possible for many Egyptian expatriates

as they had to vote in actual voting polling stations in the exact district that is listed on national identity

cards according to the Jadaliyya (AR EN) article In Historic Ruling Egyptian court Confirms Voting Rights

for Millions of Expats (2011) (EN) However many Egyptians abroad were not registered at their

embassies nor did they have national identity cards After the Arab Spring many Egyptian expatriates

started to register with their embassies hoping that they would eventually be able to vote In

November 2011 an administrative court ruling granted Egyptians abroad the right to vote at Egyptian

embassies and consulates For further information please refer to

supplementary constituencies (EN)

4 FINANCIAL REMITTANCES TRANSFERS AND MIGRANTSrsquo INVESTMENTS

41 NATIONAL LEGISLATION ON ECONOMIC INCENTIVES FOR MIGRANTS

The Emigration and Sponsoring Egyptians Abroad Law No 111 of 1983 (AR) provides for financial

incentives to encourage Egyptian emigrants abroad to invest in Egypt

Table 41 ndash Egypt Legislations Incorporating Incentives Aimed to Encourage the Return of Financial Resources



Article 15 provides the following lsquoThe returns of the investment of Egyptian migrantsrsquo deposits in one of the banks operating in Egypt shall be exempted from all taxes and fees Egyptian migrantsrsquo or expatriatesrsquo capital utilized in projects or investments in the country shall be granted all the advantages decided for foreign capital operating in the same field or national capital which is better If capital is to be treated in various ways according to the foreign capital nationality then the capital of migrants contributing in the said fields shall be treated according to the most advantageous wayrsquo

42 FINANCIAL REMITTANCES DATA INFLOWS CHARACTERISTICS AND IMPACT

421 Financial Remittances Inflows

According to World Bank Data Egypt is the most significant recipient of remittances as quoted in the

IOM Egypt (EN) Migration and Development Factsheet (EN)

Data on flows of workersrsquo remittances in Egypt are recorded by the Central Bank of Egypt (EN) which

publishes the Balance of Payments and External Trade in its Annual Reports (AR EN) They have in-

creased continuously from the Fiscal Year (FY) 200405 to 200708 From FY 200708 to FY 200809 a

slight decrease could be observed From FY 200809 to FY 200910 workersrsquo remittances increased

again (graph 41)

Product (GDP) and of the receipts of Official Development Assistance (ODA) as well as the ratio of

workersrsquo remittances to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) both from national and international sources

AmountFrequency of Remittances Inflows to Egypt

Official remittances sent per migrant to Egypt in 2005 amounted to USD 2091 (=EUR 1773) according to

World Bank Staff Estimates quoted in the ESCWA (AR EN) Technical Paper International Migration and

Development in the ESCWA Region Challenges and Opportunities (AR EN)

425 Impact of Financial Remittances

Remittances lead to a reduction of poverty rates as pointed out in the ESCWA (AR EN) Technical Paper

International Migration and Development in the ESCWA Region Challenges and Opportunities (AR EN)

At the social level remittances which are viewed as a sign of success can inter alia stimulate the

emigration of friends and relatives and lead to different consumer values The emigration of a family

member may have an impact on the social status and the roles of the household members in the

country of origin according to the

(ELMPS 06) published in the Economic Research Forum (EN) Working Paper An Overview of Internal and

International Migration in Egypt (2007) (EN) shows that the biggest share of remittances to Egypt has

been sent through informal channels including 32 which have been sent through Hawala 31 which

have been carried by friends or relatives 8 which have been carried by the migrant himself 7 which

have been sent by mail and only 22 which have been transferred through the banking system (graph

411)

The Facility for Euro- Mediterranean Investment and Partnership (FEMIP) (EN) (FR) Study on improving

the efficiency of workersrsquo remittances in Mediterranean countries (2006) (EN) states that despite the

large Egyptian banking sector including 56 banks recipients of remittances were oftentimes

discouraged by their experiences with banks as Egyptian banks were usually reluctant to give credits to

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) This fact may have contributed to remittances receivers

preferring informal transfer channels according to the same source

According to the IOM (EN FR) Study on Remittances and Investment Opportunities for Egyptian

Migrants (2010) (EN) the higher the level of education of a migrant and the higher the amount to be

transferred the more likely it is that the migrant will transfer remittances through formal channels ie

banks and official money transfer institutions

44 COLLECTIVE FINANCIAL REMITTANCES AND DONATIONS

Collective remittances devoted to community development did not play a significant role in Egypt

according to the Facility for Euro- Mediterranean Investment and Partnership (FEMIP) (EN) (FR) Study on

improving the efficiency of workersrsquo remittances in Mediterranean countries (2006) (EN) However

Egyptian emigrants supported Islamic organisations through the Zaqqat (2-5 of the income that shall

be donated to charitable causes according to the Qurrsquoan once a year) and the Sadaqqa (voluntary

donations) according to the same source These Islamic organisations mainly used this money for the

improvement of schools and mosques in their home villages

Furthermore case studies provide information on the capital investment and entrepreneurship of

Egyptian emigrants in certain countries such as

The Centro Studi di Politica Internazionale (CeSPI) (IT) publication Egyptian Diaspora

Cooperation with the homeland migration networks and transnationalism between local

contexts (2005) (EN) according to which many Egyptian migrants in Italy preferred to invest in

Italy rather than in Egypt in the short and middle term as they perceived Italy to offer more and

less risky investment opportunities entailing less administrative efforts However most

Egyptian emigrants in Italy wished to open a business in Egypt at a later stage to complement

their entrepreneurial activities in Italy according to the same source The main reasons for this

wish were a diversification of risks and the possibility to provide relatives back home with jobs

Most business activities were small scale and linked to family networks In rural areas

investments in the agricultural sector were considered the safest option

The IOM (EN FR) case study Egyptian Entepreneurs in Italy trough the Global crisis Fears Hopes

and Strategies (AR EN) provides further information on Egyptian Entrepreneurship in Italy

including trading and investment operations between Italy and Egypt
