Ahmed Kouchouk, Minister of Finance, said the Egyptian economy is showing signs of improvement, affirming the ministry’s commitment to continuing fiscal facilitations without imposing additional burdens on investors or citizens. He noted that any fiscal space generated from real economic activity would be channelled towards sectors that directly affect people’s lives. He added that the ministry plans to expand funding for technical education, aiming to build strong partnerships with the private sector that support manufacturing, boost exports and provide a skilled workforce. Kouchouk said exports of goods and services are expected to become the main driver of growth and competitiveness in the Egyptian economy. He added that the second package of tax facilitations focuses on providing further incentives and support to long-standing and committed partners.
