One on one with El Khatib:<\/strong> Masa\u2019a DMC\u2019s Osama Kamal hosted Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib, who outlined his plans to overhaul trade infrastructure, cut customs clearance time, and boost export competitiveness.<\/p>\n

El Kh<\/strong>atib\u2019s priorities:<\/strong> Egypt needs to double down on infrastructure, trade agreements, and its \u201cgenius geographic location\u201d to localize competitive industries and boost exports to the EU, Africa, and the Gulf, El Khatib told Kamal (watch, runtime: 4:00<\/a>). El Khatib said the government is focused on boosting trade competitiveness as part of a broader strategy to attract investment into high-value industries.<\/p>\n

Egypt\u2019s trade n<\/strong>eeds an overhaul:<\/strong> El Khatib recalled his remarks when he took office \u2014 calling for an \u201coverhaul\u201d in trade management to bring Egypt into the ranks of the top 50 nations in terms of trade competitiveness. To that end, \u201cclear monetary policies are essential,\u201d he said, adding that trade performance hinges on clearance times. El Khatib said traditional solutions will no longer cut it \u2014 and that the country needs to take \u201cbig decisions\u201d to move forward.<\/p>\n

Customs clearance<\/strong> time slashed \u2014 but more to come:<\/strong> El Khatib said his ultimate target is to bring customs clearance time down from 16 days to just a few hours, though a more realistic short-term goal is to slash it by 75-80% within a year. \u201cWe\u2019ve already cut clearance times from 16 days to 5.8 days after coordinating with 27 institutions involved in the customs process,\u201d he said (watch, runtime: 2:54<\/a> | 3:25<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
