Egypt's sovereign wealth fund, THARAA, is set to acquire governmental assets of 80 billion Egyptian pounds during the upcoming period, according to Ayman Soliman, CEO of THARAA. Soliman added during conference organised by Egyptian Junior Business Association – EJB that THARAA plans include increasing the added value of the projects as well as deepen the partnership between public and private sectors. He also noted that that THARAA is not looking to compete with the private sector on the available investment opportunities in the market, but rather play the role of a mediator role and promote the opportunities available in various sectors, especially the infrastructure and food industries. THARAA hopes to attract and steer investment toward sectors that the state sees as vital to the economy, soliman said.
