The Egyptian governorate is looking to improve its investment climate and optimise business environment, said a senior official on the sidelines of a door-knock mission to the UK on Friday. The mission was organised by the British Egyptian Business Association (BEBA) from November 27 to 29. "The improvement of economic situations in Egypt is the strongest message to attract business community to invest in the country," Karim Hilal – the Managing Director of Corporate Finance and Investor Relations at Carbon Holdings – told Amwal Al Ghad. The North African country paved the way for private-sector investments in the Egyptian market through implementing its economic reform programme, besides various infrastructure projects, Hilal added. The mission included Egyptian Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait, Minister of International Cooperation and Investment Sahar Nasr, and Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir, besides Yehia Zaki, Chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). It aimed to promote opportunities for investment in the Egyptian education sector. In addition, the mission put the health sector at the top of its priorities, and has devoted a large part of its activities to discuss the latest developments in the healthcare sector in Egypt with its opportunities and challenges, as well as addressing the insurance system.
