  • European Universities in Egypt — an organization that will manage branches of the University of London and University of Central Lancashire in Egypt — will establish its headquarters in the new administrative capital under a presidential decree.
  • The government will begin implementing a new three-year export subsidy program in FY2021-2022 that aims to increase exports by 10% in its first year and 15-20% in its second.
  • The Trade and Industry Ministry has extended its ban on white sugar imports introduced in June for another three months.
  • A three-year project to promote a circular economy model for single-use plastics will soon come to Egypt with the help of the UN Industrial Development Organization and USD 3 mn of funding from Japan.
  • Egypt Post is looking to grow local logistics and e-commerce services through a cooperation protocol with Mail America.
