The Ministerial Group for Industrial Development had earlier approved the establishment of new zones in 10th of Ramadan, New October, New Borg El Arab, and New Alamein, following reports that occupancy rates in Egypt’s nine existing public free zones have reached around 95%.
CEO of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) of Egypt, Hossam Heiba, announced that four new public free zones are scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2026.
The move aims to meet the growing demand for industrial investment and strengthen the ability of Egyptian exports to access global markets. During a broad meeting with public free zone investors, Heiba explained that the Authority will coordinate with the New Urban Communities Authority to accelerate infrastructure works in these zones, ensuring their readiness within the set timeline.
