The Egyptian Senate's Housing, Local Development, and Transportation Committee is set to resume its work with the start of the new legislative session. According to the committee's chairman, Ahmed Al-Sharrawi, several key issues are on the agenda, including regulating and controlling the real estate market, and setting clear controls for exporting real estate and attracting foreign investment. The committee will also discuss ways to develop the social housing system.
One of the main topics to be addressed by the committee is the settlement of files related to the law on reconciliation of building violations. This law has been a contentious issue in Egypt, with many property owners seeking to regularize their buildings. The committee will also discuss the development of the public transportation system, including linking new cities to governorates and providing safe and regular transportation to villages and centers.
The Egyptian Senate is set to convene on October 1, following an invitation from President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to start the new legislative session. The Housing, Local Development, and Transportation Committee is one of several committees that will begin work on various issues. The committee's discussions are expected to focus on finding solutions to the country's housing and transportation challenges.
According to Al-Sharrawi, the committee will also discuss the new local administration law, which aims to decentralize power and give more autonomy to local authorities. The law is expected to have a significant impact on the country's administrative structure and is seen as a key step in the government's efforts to promote local development.
The committee's work will also focus on attracting foreign investment in the real estate sector. Egypt has been seeking to attract more foreign investment in recent years, and the committee's efforts are seen as a key part of this strategy. By setting clear controls for exporting real estate, the committee aims to make the sector more attractive to foreign investors.
The Egyptian government has been working to address the country's housing challenges, including a shortage of affordable housing. The committee's discussions on the social housing system are expected to focus on finding ways to increase the supply of affordable housing and improve the living conditions of low-income families.
The committee's work is seen as a key part of the government's efforts to promote sustainable development and improve the living conditions of Egyptian citizens. By addressing the country's housing, transportation, and local development challenges, the committee aims to make a positive impact on the lives of millions of Egyptians.
