CAIRO - 22 April 2026: Egypt’s investment zones have attracted around LE 66.3 billion in investments across 12 zones nationwide, created more than 77,500 direct and indirect jobs, and achieved occupancy rates of nearly 90 percent, according to the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade.
The ministry announced the launch of a three-month nationwide campaign to promote investment zones under Investment Law No. 72 of 2017, aiming to position them as a key tool for attracting investment and supporting industrial growth.
The campaign will focus on highlighting the performance of investment zones, including their contribution to employment, production capacity, export growth, and geographic spread across Egypt’s governorates.
Investment zones operate alongside free zones and technological zones as part of Egypt’s investment framework, offering integrated industrial and service environments supported by simplified procedures and developed infrastructure.
Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, Mohamed Farid Saleh said the model has proven effective in attracting investment, noting that the high occupancy rate reflects strong investor confidence in the system.
He added that investment zones are based on public-private partnerships through zone developers, allowing for faster project execution and streamlined services through a one-stop-shop system.
Farid said the government plans to expand the model further to meet growing demand, while continuing efforts to improve competitiveness and align the investment climate with Egypt Vision 2030.
