Egypt is opening its doors to increased investment inflows, supported by strong competitive advantages and an enabling, attractive business environment, Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk said. He noted that Egypt’s fiscal and economic priorities place greater emphasis on the private sector’s role in investing for the future, in a way that serves both economic growth and citizens’ interests. The Minister also highlighted improvements in the banking sector’s net foreign assets and growth in foreign exchange reserves, reflecting increased financial stability. He noted that the 73% increase in private investment during the last fiscal year demonstrates the private sector’s ability to lead Egypt’s economic growth. He also announced that, in coordination with the Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, a major package of customs facilitation measures will soon be unveiled to boost foreign trade and significantly reduce customs clearance times.
