Egypt\u2019s highest score is in Dealing with Construction Permits, where it is ranked 66th globally. We also did well on Starting a Business, with the time and cost of starting a business having been more than halved to 14.5 days and 7.4% of income per capita, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEgypt has made ambitious economic reforms over the past few years, which have <\/strong><strong>helped boost investor confidence and attract foreign capital. <\/strong>This year, IFC, has tripled its investments in the country,\u201d said the International Finance Corporation Country Manager for Egypt, Libya and Yemen Walid Labadi. \u201cThere are signs that Egypt's economic reforms are starting to bear fruit. For example, we are seeing an increase in capital flow into Egypt, especially in the energy and manufacturing sectors,\u201d said Merza Hassan, Dean of the Executive Board and Executive Director World Bank Group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what did we wrong?<\/strong> The report shows that registering property was made more difficult. Egypt also underperformed in the areas of Paying Taxes, ranking at 167, and Trading Across Borders, where it ranks 170th globally. \u201cIt takes 265 hours to obtain the right paperwork to import, for example, four times longer than the global average of 66 hours,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did we fare in comparison to others?<\/strong> New Zealand remained the top-ranked country on the report, while Somalia retained the bottom spot. The US was ranked sixth. The UAE was highest ranked MENA country at 21. Saudi Arabia was ranked at 92.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The report doesn\u2019t factor in reforms enacted after May 2017<\/strong>, which is when the WBG concluded its assessment, Investment Minister Sahar Nasr reminded everyone.
