(3 Minutes Read)

The plan, which will be finalised within three months, is designed to span ten years and aims to stimulate economic growth while drawing in substantial foreign and domestic investment.

Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade of Egypt, Hassan El-Khatib, announced that the government is preparing a comprehensive national investment map with clear sectoral objectives.

 The plan, which will be finalised within three months, is designed to span ten years and aims to stimulate economic growth while drawing in substantial foreign and domestic investment.

During a cabinet meeting held recently, El-Khatib presented a detailed briefing on the roadmap’s development. He emphasised that achieving a meaningful leap in Egypt’s economic growth requires the adoption of a unified national investment strategy, in tandem with the completion of structural reforms.

These include implementing bold and unprecedented policy changes that will reshape the investment landscape and enhance Egypt’s competitiveness. The minister stressed the importance of building an open, competitive economy supported by a transparent and stable monetary policy.

He also called for an investment-oriented fiscal policy that provides clarity on investor rights and obligations and reduces financial and trade burdens. At the same time, Egypt needs an outward-looking trade policy that can drive export growth and shrink the trade deficit. A central part of this vision is empowering the private sector to lead economic growth, while the state fulfils its role as a regulator, ensuring a fair and balanced investment environment.

The campaign will target a wide range of sectors, including energy, industry, tourism, healthcare, information technology, agriculture, education, and water resources.
