PM Confirms Growing Global Confidence in Egypt’s Economy
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said many international institutions have praised Egypt’s economic resilience, noting that recent regional tensions, including the Israel-Iran conflict, caused only temporary effects.
He added that Egypt’s commitment to a flexible exchange rate has improved investor confidence.
Following a cabinet meeting in New Alamein, Madbouly said that global interest in building factories in Egypt is increasing. He confirmed that inflation fell to 14.4 percent in June, down from 16.5 percent in May, and said the government is monitoring prices and supply daily to ensure market stability.
The Premier added that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s participation in the recent African Union summit proves that Egypt has an active role across the continent, noting that Egypt leads two AU mechanisms: one for strategic coordination and the other for regional security in North Africa.
President al-Sisi also held several meetings with African leaders, who expressed interest in involving Egyptian companies in infrastructure projects, Madbouly added.
He noted that African leaders have asked Egyptian companies to take part in major development projects, citing their reputation for quality and delivery.
