Egyptian Investment and Foreign Trade Minister, Dr. Mohamed Farid Saleh, recently participated in the Egyptian-French Business Forum in Paris, where he met with representatives from six international companies to discuss potential investment opportunities in Egypt. The companies, including Roullier, Salins, Airbus, SEMMARIS, Mistral AI, and Rosetta Omics, engaged in talks with the minister to explore the country's economic prospects.
During the meetings, Minister Farid highlighted Egypt's stable macroeconomic indicators, despite regional tensions. He emphasized the government's efforts to improve the business environment, simplify procedures, and enhance investor services. The minister also stressed the importance of digitalization in governance and the facilitation of establishment, licensing, operation, production, and export procedures.
The discussions covered various sectors, including phosphate and fertilizer industries, salt production and manufacturing, aviation, agricultural and food logistics, and artificial intelligence. The minister and company representatives also explored opportunities for deepening local manufacturing and increasing exports. These talks reflect the government's commitment to promoting investment and economic growth.
Minister Farid assured the companies that his ministry is dedicated to preparing and promoting Egypt's investment opportunities to global firms and institutions. This effort is carried out in coordination with relevant authorities, taking into account the specific needs and development stages of each project. The goal is to attract more investments, boost production and exports, and enhance local manufacturing.
The Egyptian government has been working to create a favorable business environment, with a focus on encouraging investment and economic development. Egypt's strategic location, large market, and natural resources make it an attractive destination for investors. The government aims to build on these advantages to drive growth and job creation.
The meetings with international companies demonstrate Egypt's commitment to engaging with the global business community and exploring new investment opportunities. By promoting its economic prospects and investment climate, Egypt seeks to establish itself as a prime destination for foreign investment. This effort is part of the government's broader strategy to drive economic growth and development.
Egypt's economic growth and investment prospects were also highlighted in a recent report, which noted that the country achieved a 5.1% growth rate in the last fiscal year, with unemployment rates declining to 5.8%, a historic low.
