<\/a> Egypt wants to attract USD 10 bn of foreign direct investment during the current <\/strong>fiscal year<\/strong>, Planning Minister Hala El Said said last week, according to a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This would be a significant step up:<\/strong> FDI has averaged USD 7.3 bn a year over the past five years, according to our in-house calculations of balance of payments figures.<\/p>\n

Fresh FDI has been near the top of the government\u2019s priority list in recent weeks<\/strong> as it looks to attract foreign capital back to the country amid rising pressure on the balance of payments caused by the spillover effects from the war in Ukraine. Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and senior government officials have in recent weeks held talks with companies in the Gulf, the US and Europe in a bid to draw fresh investment. The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have already pledged to provide USD 22 bn<\/a> in investment and central bank deposits this year.<\/p>\n

Ambitious export targets:<\/strong> The government wants the country\u2019s non-oil exports to hit USD 35 bn this year, El Said said. This is 75% higher than the USD 20.1 bn exported in FY 2020-2021. Egypt\u2019s non-oil exports totalled USD 12.8 bn in the first half of FY 2021-2022, according to the most recent figures.<\/p>\n

FDI + exports > hot money:<\/strong> Both El Said<\/a> and Finance Minister Mohamed Maait<\/a> have in past weeks signaled that the government will try and dial back its reliance on portfolio inflows and focus on attracting sustainable FDIs.<\/p>\n

The government wants to attract USD 40 bn in new investment over the next four years<\/strong> by selling state-owned assets to local and international investors. This comes under the government\u2019s in-progress revamp of its privatization strategy<\/a>, which it says will more than double the private sector\u2019s role in the economy over the next three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
