El-Khatib emphasized that FDI is a key driver of Egypt’s economic growth strategy.
The newly released COMESA Investment Report 2025 attributed the sharp rise to Egypt’s Ras El Hekma megaproject, which played a pivotal role in reshaping investment trends across the region.
He emphasized that this momentum reflects growing investor confidence, supported by ongoing reforms to strengthen the trade and investment climate.
In an interview with Asharq Bloomberg, Heiba noted that part of this investment came from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
FDI inflows to Africa rose by 75% to $97 billion, with Egypt accounting for the largest share.
