Awad emphasized that expanding digital services will help reduce pressure on investor service centers across Egypt while ensuring faster, more transparent, and more efficient services.
He added that these efforts align with the Egyptian government’s broader strategy to build an integrated digital government system and strengthen confidence among local and foreign investors.
Expanding digital platforms is expected to speed up investor procedures.
Electronic systems are designed to improve transparency and governance.
The reforms support Egypt’s broader digital government transformation strategy.
The initiatives are part of the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade’s wider plan to modernize government services, support digital transformation, attract more domestic and foreign investments, and improve the competitiveness of Egypt’s business environment.
GAFI’s digital transformation push reflects Egypt’s broader effort to modernize investor services, streamline procedures, and position the country as a more competitive destination for regional and international investment.
