The Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade has launched a promotional and awareness campaign highlighting investment zones under Investment Law No. 72 of 2017. The three-month initiative aims to inform businesses of their advantages and performance, including EGP 66.3bn in attracted investments and over 77,500 jobs created.
The Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade announced on Wednesday the launch of a roughly three-month promotional campaign focusing on investment zones' contributions to the economy, including investment volumes, job creation, export growth, and production diversification across governorates.
The 12 investment zones in strategic locations nationwide have attracted EGP 66.3bn in investments, generated more than 77,500 direct and indirect jobs, and achieved around 90% occupancy rates, signaling strong investor confidence.
Minister Mohamed Farid Saleh stated that investment zones represent a new generation of advanced systems built on private sector partnerships and a one-stop-shop for faster decisions. He noted the high occupancy reflects trust in Egypt's investment climate, supporting plans to expand zones and simplify licensing via zone boards.
The campaign will highlight competitive edges like advanced infrastructure and streamlined procedures through social media and the ministry's website, aligning with Egypt Vision 2030.
