In a major step toward sustainable economic growth, Egypt’s Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, Eng. Hassan Elkhatib, participated in the launch of the country’s National Economic Development Narrative. The event, attended by Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly and several key ministers, outlined policies to strengthen economic integration and align government initiatives with Egypt’s Vision 2030.
Minister Elkhatib highlighted the government’s new Foreign Direct Investment Strategy (2025–2030), which aims to foster comprehensive economic governance and attract high-quality investments. “Our strategy positions Egypt as a top regional and international investment destination, focusing on value-added sectors and green investments,” he stated.
