Ahmed Kojok, Minister of Finance, reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to direct communication with investors to address tax, customs, and financial challenges through practical solutions. He pointed to the success of the first package of tax facilitation measures, implemented in cooperation with the business community.

Speaking at the annual conference of the Federation of Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises, Kojok noted that the results of the first package reflect the success of betting on the private sector. He explained that about 120,000 taxpayers voluntarily joined the simplified tax system, submitting 660,000 new and amended tax returns, disclosing business volumes worth 1 trillion EGP, and paying about 80 billion EGP in additional taxes—a sign of growing trust in the tax system.

He added that the second package of tax facilitation measures will be presented to Parliament after Eid al-Fitr, while stressing that the ministry continues efforts to stimulate economic activity, improve customs clearance times, and reduce burdens on investors.

Khaled Hashem, Minister of Industry, emphasized the importance of strengthening communication with SMEs as a cornerstone of the productive economy. He highlighted the need for integration across production chains to achieve sustainable industrial development. Hashem explained that the ministry is working on developing an economic data system by collecting, analyzing, and linking information into a comprehensive knowledge base. This will support investment decisions, identify development priorities, and detect production gaps.

He noted that the new industrial strategy aims to increase local content and strengthen feeder industries to raise the added value of Egyptian products, thereby enhancing export competitiveness. The ministry also plans to support productive activities in villages and rural areas to create jobs and reduce internal migration.

Alaa El-Saqati, President of the Federation of SME Investors, stressed the importance of cooperation between state institutions and the business community to support growth and increase employment. He praised the Finance Ministry’s direct communication approach, describing it as a genuine understanding of investor challenges, and called for this model to be adopted by other ministries. He also emphasized the need for permanent communication channels with the Ministry of Industry and active participation in shaping solutions.
