Meanwhile, the US is among our top trade partners \u2014 it was our third largest non-oil trade partner last year, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amcham.org.eg\/publications\/industry-insight\/issue\/113\/foreign-trade\" style=\"\">AmCham<\/a> data. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US investments in Egypt are estimated at around USD 25 bn, with the bulk concentrated in the oil sector.<\/strong> What are the key sectors of US interest? Agriculture and agribusiness, financial services, ports and logistics, ICT, renewable energy, and pharma. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But penalties and stricter requirements make Egyptian exporters tend to favor nearby markets in the Arab world, Africa, and Europe.<\/strong> \u201cPenalties can reach up to USD 5k per day for delays in deliveries to major companies like Walmart \u2026 [some] US firms request orders that exceed the production capacity of Egyptian exporters,\u201d Al Wathik Bellah said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Diversification unlocked<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt sees significant diversification potential, especially in financial services and investment funds.<\/strong> The government is also working to expand the scope for capital flows from the US through specialized funds, Al Wathik Bellah noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The ministerial group held meetings with several investment funds, with some expressing interest in Egyptian startups. <\/strong>Farid also presented investment avenues linked to sub-funds affiliated with the Sovereign Fund of Egypt, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt\u2019s ICT and outsourcing sectors also continue to attract US interest. <\/strong>A large pool of skilled engineers and programmers, competitive labor costs, and a young workforce with strong language capabilities make it an attractive investment target. Food industries are also drawing attention, driven by the growth of the domestic market. \u201cForeign investors are eyeing roughly 2 mn new consumers entering the market each year,\u201d Al Wathik Bellah said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The mining sector is picking up momentum with US investors, particularly in rare earth minerals<\/strong>, Al Wathik Bellah said.
