| Investment in Egypt |
 |
Egypt is renowned for its cultural depth and tolerance, its intellectual
capital and its stable economic and political institutions, ensuring an
environment that is conducive to long term business investment.
The Government of Egypt (GOE) is undertaking a dynamic approach to encourage
investment and actively work to create an environment that enables investors to
operate profitably in Egypt. Towards the realization of its goal, the GOE
undertook a series of reforms regarding its policies as well as its
institutional frameworks to pave the way for an improved investment climate and
a more developed business environment in Egypt.
New set of government policies, investment laws, and guarantees have been
introduced with the purpose of fortifying investment environment in Egypt.
On one hand, Egypt's proximity to international markets and the rapidly growing
demand for certain industries, locally as well as worldwide, play a vital role
in encouraging exports and improving productivity.
On the other hand, new investment laws and government regulations have recently
eased international trade barriers and allowed more competition through
bringing foreign investment flows into Egypt, as well as increasing
competitiveness of Egyptian businesses to meet international standards and
compete in the global markets.
As a result of international trade agreements, Egypt enjoys a wide range of
market access to North America, China, Europe, North Africa and the Middle
East, with its central location bridging the three continents, Europe, Asia,
and Africa.
As part of the coherent and comprehensive framework set off by the Ministry of
Investment, a number of exceptional incentives are being granted to companies
in particular for their purchases of stakes in public sector enterprises, and
their endeavor for administrative restructuring and financial
modernization.
