E-commerce in Egypt is very much in its early stages of evolution. The public and private sectors cooperate together to discuss, negotiate and argue the merits of e-commerce-related issues. It is expected that the bulk of e-commerce will come from the B2B market.
E-commerce primarily takes place within and between various parties namely, businesses, consumers and governments, along with banks, which often act as an intermediary. The different levels of e-commerce are Business-to-Business (B2B), Business-to-Consumer (B2C), Government-to-Government (G2G), Government-to-Citizen (G2C), Government-to-Business (G2B), and Citizen-to-Citizen (C2C).
