This year, Egypt has joined the global economy. It will abide by its rules, it will share in its prosperity. From now on our economy, can begin every year with all its financial equilibria in place. GDP has resumed its growth. Our country is open to the world.
All capital flows enjoy absolute freedom of movement in and out of our economy.
Free markets are now the sole arbiter for the allocation of resources in Egypt. Variables such as interest rates and the exchange rate reflect now the true strength of our economy unaided and unrestrained. The private sector plays an essential role in our economy, sets the pace, generates employment, and is seeking the rightful place that is Egypt's in the region and indeed in the world financial community. A growth that touches the lives of all Egyptians, one that is sustainable, one that reflects the true potential of this country. Increased investment means foremost increased foreign investments.
