The Ministry of Finance is intensifying engagement with international investors to present Egypt’s vision for navigating current economic challenges and sustaining growth.
Ahmed Kouchouk, Minister of Finance, emphasized that the government has adopted a rapid, proactive approach that has been well received by global investors. He noted that transparency and frank communication have strengthened confidence in Egypt’s policy direction and reform measures.
Kouchouk explained that priorities have been reorganized to support the economy, citizens, and investors alike. He pointed to securing financial resources for the energy sector, safeguarding food security, and meeting essential needs.
“Our economy is resilient and moving steadily toward stability, while opening new horizons for investment, manufacturing, production, and exports,” he said. He added that Egypt offers strong capabilities and opportunities, backed by tax and customs incentives designed to support the business community.
Nevine Mansour, Adviser to the Minister of Finance for Relations with Economic Institutions, highlighted continuous communication with investors and the issuance of regular, transparent reports on Egypt’s economic performance.
Speaking during three meetings—one with Jefferies Financial Group and two others with Italian and European investors organized by Intesa Sanpaolo via video conference—Mansour underscored Egypt’s strong fiscal results in the first nine months of the fiscal year (July-March). She noted that Egypt achieved a primary surplus of 3.5% of GDP, while the overall budget deficit stood at 5.3%, supported by robust economic activity and rising private sector investment.
She further confirmed that tax facilitation, incentives, and partnerships with taxpayers boosted voluntary compliance, raising tax revenues by around 29% without new burdens. Mansour also pointed to a decline in external debt of budget entities by approximately $4bn in June 2025 compared to 2023.
