This new program builds on the previous milestones achieved by the 2018-2022 program which has put the foundation for a successful development trajectory for the Egyptian economy. The top priorities of the GoE in its new program 2023-2027 are: (i) promoting green economy and achieving water, food and energy security; (ii) increasing investment in health and education sectors and (iii) introducing new regulatory reforms aiming to facilitate the engagement of the private sector into the economic development process of Egypt.
