Stronger investment appetite, falling bond yields signal confidence in Egypt’s economy

Egypt’s Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk said the country’s investment environment has witnessed a noticeable improvement, driven by rising private sector participation and growing confidence in economic reforms.

 

During his remarks at the 9th Capital Markets Summit, Kouchouk highlighted the increasing number of companies operating in the Suez Canal Economic Zone as well as other industrial and investment areas nationwide. 

 

This expansion, he said, has played a key role in boosting and diversifying Egypt’s export base.

 

The minister revealed that the government has introduced new incentives to encourage major corporations to list and invest in the Egyptian Exchange, alongside measures to reduce administrative and financial burdens. These steps aim to expand the tax base, enhance service quality, and support sustainable economic growth.

 

Kouchouk stressed that authorities are working toward broader financial inclusion while maintaining lower risk levels and stronger returns.

 

He noted that higher demand for financial instruments has recently contributed to a decline in interest rates and inflation.
