Public investment in Egypt has grown by 535% over the past six years, a reflection of the government’s efforts to boost the economy by attracting foreign investors through ambitious development projects. The volume of public investments for 2021-2022 increased to USD 59 billion, with a growth rate of 46% compared to 2020-2021.
