The Egyptian Prime Minister, Sherief Ismail, inaugurated the conference, which aimed to highlight the successes in macroeconomic stabilization that Egypt has achieved and discuss reforms needed by Egypt to attain higher economic growth and job creation. During the conference, Ismail announced that the recent period has witnessed an improvement in a number of economic indicators, including the increase in tourism and Suez Canal revenues and exports proceeds, in addition to the rise in GDP growth rate to 5.3% in Q2 FY 2017/18 and reaching record levels of foreign reserves, exceeding USD44 billion. Ismail also stressed on the government s commitment to continue economic reforms. The CBE governor, Tarek Amer, also stated that the bank has worked on maintaining monetary stability and improving labor market conditions, as well as abolishing all restrictions imposed on movement of foreign currency. The economic growth strategy should be specifically shaped to promote sustainable jobs creation policies, tailor made on the specific characteristic of the territories. These should focus on setting all the conditions to attract private investments especially in labor intensive sectors like Constructions, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Hospitality & Retail, which can contribute to job creation more than proportionally to GDP formation, with a specific focus in segments where particular strengths of the Country can be identified Dante Campioni ALEXBANK s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director 7 th May 2018 IN THIS ISSUE Egypt s Banking Sector Updates Automotive Sales Rebound Egypt s Net International Reserves Increase A New Oil Discovery In The Egyptian Western Desert Egypt s Non-Oil Exports Hike Egypt Is The World s Third Fastest Growing Economy 1
