The government’s introduction of reforms in 2016, has improved the ease of doing business and increased foreign investment.

Egypt ranked 114th in 2020, jumping 17 spots since 2016 in doing business.

Changes were made in four key areas: reducing the number of procedures to start a business, getting electricity by automating systems to monitor power outages, protecting minority investors by requiring shareholders’ approval when issuing new shares, and introducing an online system for payment of taxes.
