The Egyptian economy is becoming more reliant on private investments over time. Private sector’s share in total investments increased from 50% in 2002 to 62.2% in 2013/14 indicating a maintained policy commitment to enhance private sector’s role in the economy. Leveraging investments into infrastructure is one of the top priorities of the government’s economic agenda, which will enable private investors to access new sectors and markets.

Though private investments are significant in most sectors, there’s still a strong potential for higher private investments especially in previously untapped sectors.

The renewable power sector is a one example where the government encourages more private sector investments by introducing a rewarding feed-in tariff structure.
