Egypt is the most attractive African country for investment, announced Menarail Transport Consultant's general manager on Friday on the sidelines of a door-knock mission to the UK. "Britain is the biggest investor in Egypt," Alfred Assil further told Amwal Al Ghad according to the Egyptian Investment Ministry's report. The mission was organised by the British Egyptian Business Association (BEBA) to discuss bolstering bilateral cooperation between the two countries during a three-day visit from November 27 to 29. The mission encompassed Egyptian Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait, Minister of International Cooperation and Investment Sahar Nasr, and Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir. It also included Yehia Zaki, chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone); and former deputy prime minister Ziad Bahaa El-Din as well as CEOs of major Egyptian companies. 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.
