Egypt's House of Representatives gave final approval on Tuesday to a government-backed draft law establishing a Unified National ID Database for Real Estate. The move marks a major step in the country's digital transformation agenda. According to the cabinet statement, the vote took place during a general session. The legislation is seen as a key pillar in advancing the goals of Egypt's Vision 2030, particularly in boosting economic growth through the digitisation of real estate assets nationwide. Officials say the new database will represent a significant shift in property documentation systems, helping to eliminate land encroachments, resolve overlapping property registrations, and address inconsistent ownership records. The project is also expected to enhance the state's urban planning capabilities, streamline the delivery of public services, and stabilise the real estate market. By offering a reliable legal and administrative framework, the system is anticipated to attract greater investment into the sector. Attribution: Amwal Al Ghad English
