Investment Promotion in Egypt

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Abstract: The objective of this research is to critically examine the potential of Egypt’s central Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and therefore contribute in boosting the country’s economic development. In quest of achieving this objective, the research applies a qualitative methodological approach of a single case study analysis, where it investigates several legislative and institutional elements to understand the extent to which the structure of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) enables it to perform its role as the national agency responsible for investment promotion. The analysis explains various aspects that define the effectiveness of GAFI’s structure, such as the authority level, tools, degree of political autonomy, and the different promotional functions performed. The detailed scrutiny of different organizational and functional elements reveals that the overall structure of GAFI does not contribute to its likelihood of being an effective agency, and therefore exposes its limited role in promoting and facilitating private investments. The findings explain how GAFI’s legal status accounts for weakening its structure and further articulate how the Authority lags behind in performing the main promotional functions of image building, investment generation, investor servicing and facilitation, and policy advocacy; all of which that influence Egypt’s ability to attract foreign investment, enhance local economy and guarantee better linkages to global economy. Thus, the research offers some recommendations to help policy makers adopt better mechanisms that could enhance the performance of GAFI, such as, ensuring the separation between GAFI’s role as a regulator and executor on one side, and its role as promoter and facilitator on the other side.

Making It Big
Author: Andrea Ciani
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464815585
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Economic and social progress requires a diverse ecosystem of firms that play complementary roles. Making It Big: Why Developing Countries Need More Large Firms constitutes one of the most up-to-date assessments of how large firms are created in low- and middle-income countries and their role in development. It argues that large firms advance a range of development objectives in ways that other firms do not: large firms are more likely to innovate, export, and offer training and are more likely to adopt international standards of quality, among other contributions. Their particularities are closely associated with productivity advantages and translate into improved outcomes not only for their owners but also for their workers and for smaller enterprises in their value chains. The challenge for economic development, however, is that production does not reach economic scale in low- and middle-income countries. Why are large firms scarcer in developing countries? Drawing on a rare set of data from public and private sources, as well as proprietary data from the International Finance Corporation and case studies, this book shows that large firms are often born large—or with the attributes of largeness. In other words, what is distinct about them is often in place from day one of their operations. To fill the “missing top†? of the firm-size distribution with additional large firms, governments should support the creation of such firms by opening markets to greater competition. In low-income countries, this objective can be achieved through simple policy reorientation, such as breaking oligopolies, removing unnecessary restrictions to international trade and investment, and establishing strong rules to prevent the abuse of market power. Governments should also strive to ensure that private actors have the skills, technology, intelligence, infrastructure, and finance they need to create large ventures. Additionally, they should actively work to spread the benefits from production at scale across the largest possible number of market participants. This book seeks to bring frontier thinking and evidence on the role and origins of large firms to a wide range of readers, including academics, development practitioners and policy makers.

Book Description
Egypt’s history has been marked by a host of dynasties, empires, regimes and governments, and it remains a leading regional power today. Since 2011 a state of transition has become a more or less permanent feature of Egypt’s political scene. However, the political situation seemed to have stabilised in late 2014, particularly after Abdel Fattah El Sisi was sworn in as president. A parliamentary election is expected in the first half of 2015, under the new constitution.

Investing in the Middle East
Author: Ashraf Mishrif
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857718576
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
The effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic development has been widely debated. However, the real challenge is not only to examine the effect of FDI on economic development but to also investigate the most appropriate economic policies that are conducive to increasing levels of FDI. Ashraf Mishrif here addresses this challenge and examines the interplay between external and internal forces to determine whether recent EU-Egyptian trade agreements have led to any significant improvement in Egypt's investment environment and in the growth levels of European direct investment in the country. This important study makes a key contribution to our understanding of the inward investment strategies and options of the Arab World's most populous and powerful player. It will be an essential point of reference for all economists, bankers and investment advisors dealing with the Middle East.
