Egypt and OECD Forge Ahead: Strengthening Ties for Economic Resilience and Growth

In a significant stride toward bolstering economic reform and development, Egypt's Minister of Planning and Economic Development, Hala El-Saied, engaged in crucial talks with the OECD's Secretary General, Mathias Cormann. This pivotal meeting, set against the backdrop of Paris, not only underscored a longstanding partnership but also set the stage for the upcoming launch of an in-depth OECD report on Egypt. The dialogue between El-Saied and Cormann was more than a formal exchange; it was a testament to Egypt's proactive approach in integrating global standards and recommendations to fuel its economic engine.

A Partnership with History and Promise

The relationship between Egypt and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) extends over 15 fruitful years, characterized by mutual respect and a shared vision for sustainable development. El-Saied's participation in the OECD report launch is not merely ceremonial but reflects Egypt's commitment to leveraging international expertise. The discussions highlighted Egypt’s ambitious economic reform agenda, emphasizing the crucial role of the private sector in driving investment and growth, alongside implementing social protection programs to safeguard the vulnerable against unforeseen economic shocks.
