Egypt

Since 2005, the nation on the Nile has consistently and successfully followed a comprehensive reform programme to modernise and diversify its private sector. Inflation and unemployment are going down, industries such as construction are booming and also the Egyptian domestic demand is rising continuously. While the reform process will need to continue for a long time, an improvement of the investment climate in Egypt is nevertheless noticeable already.

Accordingly, the number of foreign direct investments have risen rapidly in recent years. Despite the greatly improved investment climate, foreign investors in Egypt face numerous challenges, in particular regarding the inefficient and often corrupt, public administration of the country. The relative uncertainty of the legal environment in Egypt makes it necessary to seek qualified and individually tailored advice before any investment measures are initiated.
