Abstract:The military economy originated in the Nasser era,and then began to develop and expand so that it entered the civilian market during the Mubarak era,and became the core interest of the military. Since the Mubarak era,the influence of the military economy on the Egyptian regime has been gradually formed,which could influence the stability and legalization of the regime by adjusting the military-political relationship or through its own economic behavior. After Egyptian revolution in 2011,the Supreme Military Council expanded the economic power of the military and supported Sisi’s seizure of power. Therefore,after Sisi came to power,he protected military economic and encouraged it to expand,finally made it an important factor in the construction of Sisi’s regime.
