To get there, the council is betting on a 15% annual growth rate \u2014 which the sector nearly met last year with a 13% y-o-y uptick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To get there, the EEC has a few ideas up its sleeve, including allowing freezone factories <\/strong><strong>to trade rebates for rents. <\/strong>The council is currently lobbying the government to let manufacturers in freezones \u2014 who are currently ineligible for tax-offset incentives given to onshore exporters due to their unique tax status \u2014 credit these export subsidies directly against their General Authority for Investments and Freezones-mandated fees and rent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Efforts will also be helped by a Made in Egypt brand incentive<\/strong>, with the export rebate program set to include an extra 1% for companies exporting under their own registered Egyptian trademarks to reward those moving away from low-margin white-labeling. To move beyond simple assembly, the council is also looking to attract foreign investment in critical production inputs, such as refrigerator compressors and EV motors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Advanced talks are underway to establish a permanent logistics hub for Egyptian <\/strong><strong>exports in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire<\/strong>, intended to serve as a gateway to West African markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The EEC is also looking west, as far as South America, for export markets<\/strong>, with plans to launch its first exploratory trade mission to Brazil and Argentina in June. The move aims to capitalize on the Egypt-Mercosur Agreement, which is set to lower customs duties on most Egyptian engineering products to 0% by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/automotive\/\">Automotive<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/exports\/\">exports<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/trade\/\">trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"92942\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"92942\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Earnings Watch<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/02\/05\/dae-posts-solid-bottom-line-top-line-results-in-fy-2025\/\">\r\n                            DAE records positive FY 2025 results                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/02\/05\/dae-posts-solid-bottom-line-top-line-results-in-fy-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
