The benefits and opportunities offered to foreign investors in Egypt are diverse and inviting. Egypt constitutes a springboard to the Middle East, the Mediterranean and Africa, and has emerged as a haven for foreign investment. This advantageous position derives from Egypt's financial and political stability, low financial risks, free market mechanism, liberal foreign exchange rates, liberal investment regulations, successful economic, structural, financial and monetary reforms, guarantees and lucrative incentives for investors, favorable investment climate, massive rehabilitation of infrastructure, free repatriation of capital and profits, abundant and growing resources in energy and power, network of roads and railways, skillful and low cost labor, advanced commercial institutions and services, plentiful water resources for industrial purposes, efficient harbor facilities, and daily airline connections to cities around the world. The opportunities for long-term investments abound in Egypt's promising market. The generous incentives offered within the investment laws, as well as the privileges and facilities offered to foreign investors, guarantee gainful returns.
Foreign investment enjoys important guarantees and lucrative incentives.
Investment projects are not subject to price controls and profit ceilings. These projects enjoy guarantees against nationalization, seizure, requisition, confiscation, custody, or sequestration of project assets or funds. Contrary to practices in the past that hindered the expansion of foreign investment, Egypt has succeeded in alleviating over-regulated investment laws and in stimulating new business partnerships between Egyptians and foreign investors. Egypt has streamlined and simplified the regulations for investment approval. The Egyptian government, in its relentless efforts to create a most favorable climate for foreign investment in Egypt, is continuing to introduce additional reforms and incentives to allow foreign investments to reach their true potential.
