Egypt

Egypt has a balanced economy. Its well-integrated structure ensures sustained growth in a diversified environment where sectors such as manufacturing, energy, agriculture, tourism and services interact to create economies of scale. This generates a balanced distribution of the nation’s income, employment and export revenues, and multiplies the opportunities for investment and growth.

Egypt is an increasingly attractive choice as a location for transnational corporations, with its natural resources, skilled and competitively priced workforce, geographical location, advanced infrastructure and opportunities for combining trade and investment strategies. Opportunities also abound in manufacturing, high technology sectors, food processing, textiles, mining and services.

A number of sectors and industries benefit from the government’s generous incentives and guarantees, such as zero tax over the lifetime of a project.

Egypt offers many advantages to investors. These include: well-established and accessible ports on both the Mediterranean and Red Sea; the availability of highly trained and skilled labour at competitive wage rates; an efficient banking system and a dynamic and growing stock market; political and social stability; a favourable business environment with strong support from the government for the private sector; and a well-developed infrastructure.
