PM, GAFI CEO discuss assisting free zones' financially distressed companies
They discussed preparation of Egyptian-South Korean business forum
Hagar Omran Published in Daily News Egypt on 25 - 02 - 2020

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly met with Mohamed Abdel Wahab, CEO of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI), to discuss assisting financially distressed companies in the free zones, according to a statement from the Cabinet on Monday.
Abdel Wahab asserted GAFI's key role in helping financially distressed companies to recover their activities in the local market. Abdel Wahab also highlighted the outcomes of his recent visits to Qalubia and Minya governorates and his recommendations for resolving the challenges facing local investors.
Both sides also discussed a report from the ministerial committee for settling investment disputes, the statement said, noting that a number of disputes were settled recently.
In December 2019, Madbouly formed two ministerial committees under his leadership, one to stimulate foreign investments, and the other to settle investment disputes since the Ministry of Investment was eliminated during ministerial reshuffle.
Members of the stimulating foreign investments committee includes the Central Bank of Egypt Governor Tarek Amer, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Khaled Al-Anany, Minister of Planning and Economic Development Hala El-Said, Minister of International Cooperation Rania Al-Mashat, and Minister of Finance Mohamed Moeit.
The committee also includes Minister of Local Development Mahmoud Shaarawy, Minister of Housing Assem Al-Gazzar, Minister of Agriculture ElSayed ElKosayer, Minister of Trade and Industry Nevine Gamea, Chairperson of the Suez Canal Economic Zone, Yehia Zaki, and acting CEO of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones Mohamed Abdel Wahab.
Additionally, Madbouly asserted the importance of following up the newly founded firms and help them solve any problems that might arise. They also discussed the preparations of the Egyptian South Korean business forum scheduled for March 2020.
A high-level business delegation from South Korea will visit Egypt in mid-March to meet with the Egyptian government and private sector, according to a previous statement from the Ministry of Trade and Industry in January.
