Cairo: Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk announced that the Egyptian government is preparing to launch a new package of investor facilitations by the end of November.According to State Information Service Egypt, the package will include measures to support the business environment, stimulate investment, and attract new companies to the capital market. The Medium-Term Tax Strategy is set to be released before December, followed by the Medium-Term Fiscal Strategy by the end of March next year.During his speech at the Cairo Forum organized by the Egyptian Center for Economic Studies, Kouchouk stated that these measures aim to enhance transparency, predictability, and clarity of economic policies. This initiative is intended to give both local and international business communities a clear vision of Egypt's fiscal direction over the coming years. He emphasized that the government aims to strengthen trust with investors and ensure private sector participation in shaping financial policies, noting stability, tran sparency, and policy predictability as key pillars for building confidence.Kouchouk highlighted strong coordination among the economic team as a key national asset, which improves policy effectiveness and accelerates results. He outlined four main pillars guiding Egypt's fiscal policy: restoring confidence with investors and the business community, balancing fiscal discipline with economic growth support, expanding social protection and investing in human capital, and advancing structural reforms to enhance competitiveness and ensure equal opportunities.The minister noted that the government's focus is not only on fiscal discipline but also on supporting real economic growth and job creation. He revealed that last year saw a 36% increase in tax revenues, the highest growth rate since 2005, achieved without imposing new burdens on citizens or companies, reflecting improved business confidence.Discussing global challenges, Kouchouk said emerging markets face rising borrowing costs and high public debt, bu t Egypt stands out as a model of reform. This is evidenced by bond yields in secondary markets dropping by 300-400 basis points since March, even before credit rating agencies recognized the improvement. He attributed this to the government's consistent transparency, frequent investor communication, and long-term trust-building.On African economic cooperation, Kouchouk said Africa has become a central topic in global investment discussions, with countries viewing Egypt, Morocco, and Nigeria as regional gateways. He noted that six major Egyptian companies are executing large projects across Africa, supported by their expertise and competitiveness. Egypt's strategic location, trade agreements, and advanced infrastructure position it as an industrial and logistics hub for the continent, with more companies choosing Egypt as a production base for African and Middle Eastern markets.Kouchouk urged African countries to be proactive in promoting investment opportunities, emphasizing that relationship-building and preparation are key to attracting sustainable financing. He highlighted significant liquidity in Asian markets, noting Egypt's success in leveraging these through Samurai and Panda bonds for low-cost, long-term financing.The minister expressed determination to sustain economic reform momentum, enhance resilience, and focus on building a stable foundation for long-term growth. He stressed the need to continue structural reforms, improve the investment climate, and support local industry as the main engines of sustainable growth. While acknowledging concerns about inflation, Kouchouk emphasized the importance of job creation and debt management, expressing optimism about the future despite global challenges.Finally, he reaffirmed the government's vision to increase the economy's strength, resilience, and risk management capacity, while improving investor confidence and recognizing that the path of reform and achieving economic goals remains ongoing.
