The global economy is macro -policies, it is multilateral institutions, above all it is a state of mind . Ladies and Gentlemen, Egypt has joined the global economy, irreversibly, without doubt, confident in its reforms, uncompromising in its commitment. It is a discipline we share with the world economy, for which we are building institutions, drafting laws, training people, and most of all leading a government that will abide by it, and build on it. Egypt has found its path of equilibrium at the end of a fifteen year journey of reform. One that puts us at the threshold of greater welfare for all Egyptians .
Free markets are now the main arbiter for the allocation of resources in Egypt.
The private sector plays an essential role. Increasingly setting the pace, generating employment, and seeking the rightful place that is Egypt's in the region and in the world financial community . Our continuing reforms for this stage of our economic program aim at one fundamental goal,namely, growth. A growth that touches the lives of all Egyptians, one that is sustainable, one that reflects the true potential of our country. To this end, our policies rely on increased investments , and greater openness to the global economy .
