A flavour of major economic opportunities and risks highlighted in the PhaseZero Egypt report:
  • Egypt has shut down two of Torah Cement's production lines and filed a case on charges the company damaged the environment. Torah, majority owned by Suez Cement, the country's largest listed company, operates one of the oldest cement plants in the country. Suez Cement's managing director said in March the group planned on relocating 2.5 million tonnes of Torah's production capacity to a new, energy-efficient site.
  • The Transport Ministry said that it is targeting investments in the country's road network, railways, public transport, ports and river transport. The ministry has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with National Bank of Egypt to establish a fund to invest in the country's roads. $8.0 billion is to be spent on the country's ports by 2011. Cairo has already invested $3.7 billion in its ports since 2006.
  • Egypt will spend an additional $5.7 billion on subsidies in 2010-11. The finance minister, Youssef Boutros-Ghali, said that when the government was drawing up the budget it had initially anticipated energy subsidies would cost more than $5.4 billion, but that this figure later increased to over $11.0 billion.
  • Egypt's total pharmaceutical spending has been on a steady rise, reaching a calculated $2.48 billion by the end of 2009 and forecast to rise to $4.24 billion by 2014 at an 11.4 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Growth will be driven by drug pricing reforms, which should make all drugs more affordable, but in general will make generics a more attractive option for substitution.
