, further develop non-bank financial services, and introduce a comprehensive Asset Management Program to State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).

Since 2004, major legislative and institutional reforms have been embarked upon, with a tangible impact both on the level of domestic investments, as well as inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI). Between 2004/05 and 2006/07 private sector investments grew at an average annual rate in excess of 40%. The Egyptian economy has also been receiving historically unprecedented levels of FDI inflows, which increased from $2 billion in 2004 to $13.2 billion in 2008.

Reform efforts undertaken by the Ministry of Investment, since July 2004, have resulted in significant improvements in the perception of an impressive investment and business friendly climate in Egypt. Investors have responded positively to this business environment in Egypt, with close to half of companies operating under the umbrella of the governing investment legislation that have been established during the last four year-period.
