Those foreign investments were distributed in different sectors, such as green hydrogen, green ammonia, tourism, industry, financial services and digital transformation, the center added.

It noted the volume of FDIs in Egypt from July 2021 to March 2022 hit USD 7.3 billion, marking an increase of 53.5%, compared to a year earlier.

The center also pointed out that Egypt is moving ahead with its endeavors to turn into a regional hub for green energy, in cooperation with major international companies.

In this regard, the center explained that Egypt signed 15 memorandums of understanding with global companies to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia, citing a memorandum of understanding with India’s ReNew Power with total investments of USD 8 billion and another with Norway’s Scatec with total investments of USD 5 billion.
