Egypt will introduce a new Investment Guarantee Mechanism in June in partnership with the European Union, aiming to offer guarantees worth €1.8 billion, announced Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation.
Al-Mashat highlighted the mechanism’s goal of mobilizing private capital and attracting impact investments into strategic sectors such as energy, infrastructure, digital transformation, water, agriculture, and climate adaptation.
The guarantees are expected to catalyze additional financing from European and global development institutions, enhancing Egypt’s investment appeal and expanding opportunities for private sector engagement—particularly from Swedish enterprises.
Al-Mashat also shared updates on the country’s recent economic reforms launched since March 2024. These measures, she explained, are focused on strengthening macroeconomic stability, improving the business climate, and promoting sustainable economic growth.
A key aspect of the reforms has been a shift toward non-oil manufacturing industries, which has led to a notable increase in private investment even as public investment has tapered off.
The minister emphasized Egypt’s ongoing efforts to attract more direct investment from Swedish companies and to deepen technical cooperation through Egypt’s NWFE platform (“Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy”).
She also underscored Egypt’s engagement with the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), aiming to keep Egyptian exports competitive while aligning with global efforts to reduce emissions and promote green growth.
The new mechanism reflects Egypt’s broader commitment to economic resilience, private sector empowerment, and international collaboration to address climate and development challenges.
