Egypt has made efforts in recent years to liberalize trade, but non-tariff barriers continue to impose high costs on Egypt\u2019s export partners and present problems for domestic importers. Improving the transparency of customs rules, working on intellectual property rights and ensuring high-quality exports (especially agricultural products) are all areas Egypt needs to work on if it wants to secure a trade agreement with the US, according to the official. Talks for a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/06\/cairo-hosts-third-round-of-talks-over-tifa-yesterday\/\">Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA)<\/a> have been going on for years with little sign of progress, the official said, adding that the next round of discussion is set to take place on Tuesday, 9 April, in DC.<\/p>\n<p><b>Praise for economic reforms, but more action is needed: <\/b>While the State Department acknowledges Egypt\u2019s economic reform program is an important step, the official emphasized that the Madbouly government needs to do more to bring the workforce and manufacturing standards to levels that make it possible for them to engage with US businesses.
