He holds a PhD in business law from King\u2019s College London. Excerpts from our discussion:<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENTERPRISE- Which industry would you put on a focused short list \u2014 and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BAHAA ALIELDEAN- <\/strong>Part of the five-step plan that Enterprise proposed and that people loved was the enabling environment. As a lawyer, I\u2019d be stepping out of my lane if I talk about which industries make the most sense. Instead, I\u2019ll say that from where I sit, the make it or break it is the enabling environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The enabling environment is something we\u2019ve been trying to create since 1952.<\/strong> Did you know that the nation\u2019s first freezone law dates back to December 1952? That\u2019s 70 years ago almost to the day. It\u2019s telling, and it makes sense: Given our geographic location, our interlocking web of trade agreements, our abundance of energy, and our large (trainable) workforce? We need to look at exports, and I would frankly propose that we have freezones for every priority industry. And I\u2019m not talking just about land, energy, and a highly functional customs window. I\u2019m talking about freezones with strong management teams that understand exactly how to pitch themselves to global companies and local giants alike \u2014 and who understand that feeder industries are key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I see this all the time as a lawyer: This desire to transcend the past and learn something new. But that just won\u2019t work in Egypt.<\/strong> The one thing that has succeeded in Egypt is the freezone concept. Regulators understand it. Businesses understand it. And we have success stories: The SCZone is fantastic and it has all the right ingredients. So my approach would be to build on what has worked in the past \u2014 as if your five-step plan was not about what I\u2019m going to focus on, but how I\u2019m going to focus on those things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>E- Why are exports and FDI the way forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BA-<\/strong> There\u2019s no doubt that exports and FDI are the way forward. They are key to our survival, foreign currency, employment, etc. Hot money is not the solution, and asset sales will only get us so far. We need to attract foreign investment \u2014 capital and know-how \u2014 into industries that will help us become an export powerhouse and lock in positions in the global supply chains of multinationals of all descriptions, whether they\u2019re buying from us strawberry jam, call center services, or electrolyzers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently had breakfast with 20 top CEOs to talk about why exports and FDI are key to our economy going forward.
