In implementation of the directives of Dr. Mohamed Farid Saleh, Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, to maintain communication with the business and investor communities, Dr. Eman Mansour, Deputy CEO of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI Deputy CEO), participated in a seminar organized by the Egyptian Center for Economic Studies (ECES) to review a study on the sectors most attractive to European investment in Egypt. The study was prepared by the ECES at the request of the European Union. 
She emphasized that the European Union is one of Egypt’s key investment and trading partners, noting that the study identified automotive components, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, renewable energy, agriculture, information technology, logistics, and financial services as the leading sectors with potential to attract European investment.
She explained that the findings of the study are aligned with the objectives of the investment promotion strategy and the action plan of the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade.
She added that GAFI’s Investor Dispute Settlement Center has received approximately 700 applications and successfully resolved around 60% of them without resorting to litigation.
With regard to green investment, she highlighted the incentives available for renewable energy and green hydrogen projects, as well as the Ministry’s efforts to help companies meet European environmental requirements, prepare emissions reports, track their carbon footprint, and link these efforts to technical and financial support.
She concluded by emphasizing the importance of identifying investment opportunities that are ready for promotion, accelerating the resolution of investment obstacles, strengthening aftercare services, and improving data integration and the quality of services provided to investors.
