General Motors believes Egypt has the fundamentals to become a regional centre for automotive manufacturing and exports to the Middle East and Africa, according to Sharon Nishi, Chair and Managing Director of General Motors Egypt & Africa. Speaking to Daily News Egypt, Nishi said the company is working closely with the Egyptian government to develop supportive policies aimed at boosting exports and deepening local manufacturing. This, she said, qualifies General Motors for the government’s Automotive Industry Development Programme (AIDP), reflecting the level of localisation already achieved. She stressed that General Motors’ strength in Egypt extends beyond its vehicles to include after-sales services, spare parts availability, warranty support, and a wide distribution network through its partnership with Mansour Automotive. Nishi noted that General Motors ended 2025 as the market leader in Egypt.
