Egypt is currently developing several proposals to improve its investment climate, including a stable tax system and clear investment incentives, announced the CEO of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones, Hossam Haiba.
Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly met with Haiba and the accompanying delegation and reviewed some procedures and measures to improve the investment climate in Egypt, including the mechanism for allocating land for investment projects and developing the system for issuing the required licenses.
Haiba asserted that the procedures and measures are essential for marketing and promoting a stable tax system and clear investment incentives, noting that a joint committee was formed from the Investment Authority and the tax and customs authorities for this purpose.
He said they would also address the investors' issues, adding that they must consider some legislative amendments related to the investment climate.
Haiba listed some of the offers the Investment Authority received from companies in several sectors before launching or expanding their activity in Egypt.
He referred to the requests submitted to the authority to establish industrial investment projects, especially in the 10th of Ramadan City, given its distinguished infrastructure and proximity to many ports and roads.
The Prime Minister welcomed any new investments, especially in the industrial sector, pointing out that the state has worked to provide facilities and incentives to attract investments in various sectors during the last period.
Madbouly stated that the 10th of Ramadan City, among other cities, enjoys promising opportunities for industrial investments.
The Premier said that his government is working to simplify investment procedures, especially those related to industrial projects while communicating with the business community and industrialists to overcome any challenges they face in implementing their projects.
