The Ready-Made Garments Export Council revealed that exports rose by 11% in January 2026, reaching $299 million compared to $270 million in the same month last year.

Engineer Fadel Marzouk, Chairman of the Council, stated that external demand remains strong alongside improved competitiveness of Egyptian products. He emphasized the Council’s ongoing plans to achieve a breakthrough, targeting $1 billion in exports by the end of 2026.

Marzouk highlighted that Egypt has utilized maximum production capacity, continuously developed the sector, and relied on high-quality raw materials while considering environmental dimensions and adopting a circular economy approach. This creates sustainability in export growth.

He noted that the ready-made garments sector is one of the pillars of the Egyptian economy, providing around 1.7 million jobs and achieving annual growth for the third consecutive year. New investments are expected to have a strong impact on export figures, with a target of $4.4 billion by the end of 2026.

The Chairman announced that exports to the United States grew 16%, reaching $118 million in January 2026 compared to $102 million a year earlier. Exports to the European Union rose 26%, recording $132 million compared to $105 million.

He stressed that the Council continues coordination with the government, represented by the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade, as well as the Ministries of Finance and Industry, to sustain these positive results.

Marzouk also unveiled an ambitious plan aiming to increase sector exports by 22–25% annually over the next five years, targeting $12 billion in exports by 2031.

He cautioned, however, that current regional tensions in the Middle East may have some impact on production and export targets this year, a challenge the Council is working to address in cooperation with relevant government authorities.

In line with directives from the political leadership and instructions from the Prime Minister to act decisively in regulating markets and preventing price manipulation:

The Consumer Protection Agency in Menoufia continues surprise inspection campaigns in coordination with relevant authorities to tighten market control, resulting in five violations detected related to price manipulation.

Mr. Ibrahim El-Sigini:

The state closely monitors markets and will not allow any attempts to manipulate prices or exploit citizens for illegitimate gains.

Surprise inspection campaigns will continue across governorates to regulate markets, detect violations, and address them immediately according to the law.

The regional branch of the Consumer Protection Agency in Menoufia, headed by Mr. Ibrahim Essam, carried out a surprise inspection campaign in coordination with relevant authorities across several high-density markets and commercial areas in the governorate. This comes as part of intensified field monitoring efforts to regulate pricing.

The campaign also monitored the implementation of Minister of Supply and Internal Trade’s Decree No. (5) of 2026 regarding the weights and prices of tourist and French bread, ensuring bakeries comply with regulations. This contributes to tighter market control, greater discipline, and protection of consumer rights.

These campaigns are part of the state’s ongoing efforts to enforce market discipline and confront practices harmful to citizens’ rights, in line with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s directives to prevent exploitation of economic conditions or regional developments as a pretext for raising prices or creating artificial shortages. The President emphasized stricter measures against violators to stabilize markets and safeguard citizens’ rights.

During the campaign, vendors and traders were instructed to fully comply with trade laws and clearly display prices to consumers. Authorities stressed that any violations will be met with immediate and decisive legal action to ensure market discipline and protect consumer rights.

The campaign resulted in five cases being recorded, including failure to display prices, selling above the announced price, and trading in food products of unknown origin. Offenders were referred to the Public Prosecution for investigation, and the seized goods were confiscated.

Mr. Ibrahim El-Sigini, Head of the Consumer Protection Agency, reiterated that the state will not tolerate any attempts to destabilize markets or exploit citizens. He confirmed that intensive surprise campaigns are ongoing nationwide to detect violations and act immediately. Any practices involving price manipulation or hoarding will face strict legal measures.

He urged citizens to promptly report any monopolistic practices or attempts to manipulate prices through the hotline 19588 or via the “Consumer Protection” mobile application, assuring that every report will be dealt with swiftly and firmly to protect citizens’ rights and maintain market stability.

Dr. Souilem: We are implementing major projects to strengthen sustainable water resource management and increase the sector’s ability to face challenges.

Dr. Ahmed Rostom, Minister of Planning and Economic Development, met with Prof. Dr. Hani Souilem, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, to review the implementation status of the Ministry’s investment plan for FY 2025/2026 and discuss the proposed plan for FY 2026/2027.

The meeting presented the current plan’s progress and explored the upcoming year’s proposal, which includes continuing major ongoing projects and launching new initiatives such as rehabilitating major water facilities on the Nile, renewing water structures on waterways, strengthening canal banks, developing irrigation channels, protecting Nile banks, and advancing the national Nile regulation project.

The plan also covers completing projects under the Decent Life initiative, developing North Sinai and South Valley projects, constructing the Delta New transfer channel, implementing flood protection projects in Sinai, Matrouh, the Red Sea, and Upper Egypt, drilling and equipping groundwater wells, rehabilitating and protecting agricultural drains, building new drains, and establishing protective zones.

Dr. Rostom emphasized that the water sector is vital for sustainable development in Egypt, given its role in securing water needs for agriculture and industry. He highlighted the growing importance of this sector amid water scarcity, climate change, and population growth, stressing the need for effective policies to maximize water use efficiency and integrated resource management.

Both ministers agreed that developing the water sector is closely tied to Egypt’s Vision 2030, which calls for integrated water resource management, rationalizing water use, improving agricultural water quality, and adopting non-traditional water sources. Investments in modern irrigation, water reuse, and infrastructure development will support inclusive and sustainable economic growth and improve citizens’ quality of life.

Dr. Souilem expressed gratitude for the cooperation between the ministries, noting that water is a top priority for Egypt. He explained that major projects are being implemented under the “Water System 2.0 – Second Generation” framework to enhance sustainable management, strengthen resilience, achieve development goals (especially SDG 6), create jobs, and support food security through the water-energy-food nexus. He affirmed that the ministry’s policies aim to address current challenges, maximize water unit efficiency, and serve beneficiaries—especially farmers—by improving services and living standards.

The NTRA clarified that any adjustment in telecom service prices is carefully studied within a framework that balances protecting users’ rights and interests with ensuring the sustainability of investments and the continued development of services in the telecom sector, which is considered one of the vital and important sectors.

Mr. Alaa Farouk, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, announced the success of Egypt’s agricultural quarantine authority in opening the Salvadoran market to Egyptian lemon exports. This achievement comes within the framework of the state’s strategy to enhance access to global markets and diversify export destinations for Egyptian agricultural products.

The Minister explained that this approval was the result of a comprehensive technical agreement between the quarantine authorities of both countries, following intensive negotiations to ensure that Egyptian products meet the highest international standards of quality and plant health.

The announcement followed the participation of Egypt’s Central Administration for Agricultural Quarantine in the 20th session of the International Plant Protection Convention, which significantly contributed to strengthening trade ties and opening new opportunities for Egyptian exporters in Central American countries.

Dr. Mohamed El-Mansi, Head of the Central Administration for Agricultural Quarantine, confirmed that this success was the outcome of bilateral technical meetings with the Salvadoran side and representatives of several other countries to follow up on market access files. He noted strong positive indicators for opening additional markets to various Egyptian agricultural commodities in the near future.

As part of the implementation steps for starting exports, Egypt’s agricultural quarantine authority issued Technical Circular No. 8 of 2026, which includes all technical regulations and plant health requirements specific to the Salvadoran market. This circular was distributed to all quarantine offices and ports, and exporters were notified to ensure full compliance with the required standards.

Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, official spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Population, explained that the meeting included a review of existing cooperation between the two countries in healthcare and explored ways to strengthen it in the coming period. The focus was on identifying opportunities to expand joint initiatives in priority health sectors, supporting the development of the healthcare system, and exchanging expertise.

The two sides discussed the current status of registering Russian medical products in Egypt, ways to streamline regulatory approval procedures, and the possibility of mutual recognition of approvals. This would accelerate the availability of these products and enhance cooperation in the pharmaceutical industry.

The meeting also addressed opportunities to expand collaboration in combating viral diseases, including joint production and distribution of treatments for hepatitis C and B, as well as HIV/AIDS therapies, thereby reinforcing joint efforts to tackle infectious diseases.

In the field of scientific and academic cooperation, the ministers discussed the possibility of recognizing degrees and qualifications issued by certain Russian universities to support collaboration in medical education and professional development. They also considered expanding specialized training programs in oncology, radiology, and digital health.

The talks further covered ways to support Egypt’s efforts in providing medical services to displaced persons from Gaza, including the provision of certain treatments and medical supplies, as part of humanitarian efforts to assist Palestinian brothers and sisters.

Finally, the spokesperson noted that the meeting reviewed the current status of a draft memorandum of understanding proposed by the Russian side. The draft has been technically reviewed by the relevant authorities and is currently undergoing national approval procedures. The Russian side expressed its desire to elevate the memorandum to provide a more effective and organized framework for cooperation between the two countries in the health sector.

The meeting discussed the state’s efforts and plans to localize the automotive industry and increase the sector’s contribution to GDP, as well as the company’s expansion plans in the local market.

During the meeting, Dr. Farid reviewed General Motors’ expansion plans in Egypt, in light of the state’s strong focus on localizing industry, boosting industrial exports, attracting more foreign direct investment, and enhancing the competitiveness of Egypt’s automotive sector and its feeder industries, thereby maximizing its contribution to the national economy.

The Minister emphasized the strategic relationship with General Motors, which has a long history in the local market, having successfully manufactured over one million vehicles over the years, providing about 1,300 direct jobs and more than 30,000 indirect jobs through its various investments. This reflects the company’s confidence in the Egyptian market and its capacity to absorb major, long-term industrial investments.

The meeting also addressed the current status of the company’s investments in Egypt, which have exceeded $530 million, including about $50 million in operating systems using robotics and advanced technology to enhance manufacturing efficiency. In addition, the local content ratio in some models has surpassed 60%, supporting the state’s plans to localize industry and increase reliance on domestic manufacturing components.

Dr. Farid stressed that the ministry is working on developing a comprehensive framework of export incentives to maximize Egypt’s strategic position as a regional hub for production and exports to African and Middle Eastern markets. He affirmed that improving the efficiency and competitiveness of locally manufactured products is one of the key factors supporting the penetration of Egyptian products into regional and international markets.

He confirmed continued coordination with General Motors and the provision of all necessary facilities to increase its investments in the automotive sector and expand industrial exports, in line with the state’s vision to localize industry and attract more investment.

For her part, General Motors’ Managing Director emphasized that Egypt represents a central pillar in the company’s long-term regional plans, given its strategic geographic location and qualified human resources. She noted that the company is implementing a future vision that includes launching new models aligned with market developments, increasing production capacity to meet local demand and boost exports, and injecting operational investments to enhance manufacturing efficiency.

She also highlighted that the company recently celebrated 100 years of presence in the region, starting from Egypt, which underscores the importance of the Egyptian market in its strategy and renews General Motors’ commitment to supporting industrial localization efforts and transforming Egypt into a regional hub for automotive manufacturing and exports to Africa and the Middle East.

Al Mal Capital REIT (AMCREIT), the first REIT listed on the Dubai Financial Market, announced on Monday that the REIT will distribute a final dividend of 3.75 fils per unit for the second half of the financial year ended 31st December 2025, amounting to a total distribution of AED26,295,540 million.

The expected payment date for the distribution is 9th April 2026, subject to customary administrative procedures.

The announcement follows a year of key strategic milestones for AMC REIT. In 2025, the REIT successfully completed its capital increase through a Follow-On Public Offering, raising approximately AED206 million and strengthening the fund’s equity base to support future growth.

During the year, the REIT also expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of NMC Royal Hospital & Falcon House real estate assets, marking its first investment in the healthcare sector and further diversifying the REIT’s portfolio alongside its existing education assets.

Following this acquisition, AMC REIT’s portfolio now comprises seven income-generating assets across the education and healthcare sectors, supported by long-term leases with strong counterparties.

The portfolio continues to benefit from stable and predictable cash flows, with a portfolio value of approximately AED1.4 billion and a weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) of approximately 16 years.

During the year, the REIT also refinanced certain financing facilities, improving the maturity profile of its debt and reducing financing costs.

Australia’s Murdoch University will launch an advanced training program for geologists working at the Mineral Resources and Mining Industries Authority (MRMIA) and affiliated companies. The program, designed in cooperation with the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR), secured the necessary approvals.

The program was first discussed during the visit by Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, to Perth, Australia, in November, when a letter of intent (LoI) was signed with the university to develop the capabilities of geologists and leaders in Egypt’s mining sector and transfer advanced global expertise to the industry.

It focuses primarily on practical training and direct professional exposure rather than relying on theoretical content or online learning, according to a MoPMR statement. This approach aims to provide hands-on experience that cannot be gained through theoretical methods or remote learning, while also transferring best practices from mining operations in Australia.

Murdoch University, located in Western Australia, is one of the world’s leading mining hubs, offering trainees a valuable opportunity to learn about the latest practices and technologies applied in the mining sector.

The ministry is soon to announce the opening of applications for the training program to all targeted groups within the authority and its affiliated companies to ensure broad participation. Training will begin once qualified candidates are selected based on clear and transparent evaluation criteria, with priority given to candidates who best meet the technical and administrative requirements.

Additional specialized training programs will also be introduced for senior management at the authority.

The first cohort of the program will consist of two groups, each including 10 trainees. The program features a technical track dedicated to geologists that will run for three weeks, starting with a one-week online introductory phase for theoretical lectures, followed by two weeks of in-person practical training at the university campus in Australia.

The program will also include field training and geological site visits across Australia, in addition to visits to gold and lithium mines through a job-shadowing system aimed at transferring practical experience to Egyptian professionals.

Participants will be evaluated through applied projects during the training period, with the best projects to be presented at the fifth edition of the Egypt Mining Forum, scheduled for September 2026.

The ministry continues implementing human capacity-building and knowledge-transfer programs in cooperation with leading international universities specializing in mining sciences. Work is underway to activate cooperation programs resulting from the letter of intent signed with Curtin University, the world’s second-largest in this field.

The vision also includes cooperation with the Colorado School of Mines, ranked first globally in the mining sector studies, to benefit from its advanced expertise in management and modern technologies.

Egypt has disbursed EGP 18.5 billion since launching the EGP 40 billion social protection package in February 2026 to support around 15 million families until the end of FY2025/2026 in June, according to a Ministry of Finance statement on Monday.

The package aims to ease pressure on households facing rising living costs, particularly low- and middle-income families. So far, EGP 6 billion has been allocated to provide an additional EGP 400 in cash per ration card for about 10 million families, according to Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk.

Another EGP 1.6 billion has been allocated to support households enrolled in the Takaful and Karama programme, the Child Pension programme Maash Al Tefl, and the rural women leaders programme Al Raaedat Al Reefeyat, which are part of the Hayah Kareema initiative.

Maash Al Tefl is a monthly grant provided by the Ministry of Social Solidarity to support children under 18 who meet certain criteria and have no stable family income.

Al Raaedat Al Reefeyat, implemented by the same ministry in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, promotes community awareness and women’s empowerment on issues such as family planning, maternal and child health, literacy, violence against women, and nutrition.

Kouchouk also said EGP 3 billion has been set aside for additional support for state-funded medical treatment, while EGP 4.3 billion has been spent on the first phase of the Decent Life initiative to complete 1,000 projects.

About EGP 3.5 billion has been allocated to the Egyptian Sugar and Integrated Industries Company to settle outstanding payments to sugarcane farmers.

These figures come as Egypt prepares to announce another social protection package at an unspecified time. The government is also planning wage increases for public- and private-sector employees in response to recent price hikes for petroleum products and natural gas for vehicles.

The increases come amid regional tensions following the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and their impact on global energy markets.

The government has also introduced price caps and monitoring campaigns for unsubsidized bread to prevent price manipulation and protect consumers after the rise in fuel costs.
