Prof. Mahmoud El-Saeed, Vice President of Cairo University, speaking on behalf of President Prof. Mohamed Sami Abdel-Sadek, expressed appreciation for CAPMAS’s national role as Egypt’s official source of data. He praised the agency’s efforts in developing the statistical system and providing accurate data to support research and decision-making, affirming the university’s commitment to enhancing cooperation with CAPMAS to serve development plans and build scientific cadres capable of utilizing data across fields.

El-Gohary stressed that data has become a fundamental element in planning and decision-making amid rapid global transformations. It is no longer just a tool for monitoring and description, but a primary instrument for understanding reality and anticipating the future. He emphasized that Egypt attaches great importance to developing the official data and statistics system within the framework of Egypt Vision 2030, reinforcing principles of accuracy, reliability, transparency, and timely availability of data.

He explained that CAPMAS plays a pivotal role as Egypt’s official source of data and statistics, by developing the national statistical system in line with international standards and technological advancements. This includes modernizing data collection mechanisms using advanced technologies, strengthening digital infrastructure, expanding the use of administrative records and non-traditional data sources, and improving digital dissemination channels—such as launching the agency’s new website to support digital transformation.

El-Gohary highlighted ongoing efforts, including:

Announcing results of the sixth economic census, which for the first time included data on the green economy and e-commerce.

Providing environmental indicators related to air and water quality, waste management, and climate change, supporting environmental impact assessment and policymaking.

Preparing for the upcoming population, housing, and establishments census, using methodologies that integrate field enumeration with state digital records, expanding self-enumeration mechanisms, and paving the way for a full register-based census in 2037.

He confirmed CAPMAS’s continued support for public policies through national surveys such as the Income, Expenditure, and Consumption Survey, the Labor Force Survey, and completion of fieldwork for the second Egyptian Family Health Survey 2025, which represents Egypt’s national version of the international demographic health survey.

El-Gohary concluded by affirming that cooperation between CAPMAS and Cairo University represents a comprehensive model linking data production and analysis, supporting scientific research and capacity building.

Engineer Mohamed Younes, CEO and Managing Director of El Nasr Salines Company, a subsidiary of the Chemical Industries Holding Company, stressed the importance of resolving the company’s loan issue with the National Investment Bank, which has ballooned excessively over the years.

Younes told Youm7 that the loan, originally around 50 million EGP, has now reached 9.5 billion EGP, explaining that the bank was offered full ownership of the company in exchange for the debt, but no response has been received so far.

He called on Dr. Ahmed Rostom, Minister of Planning and Economic Development, to intervene and settle the matter definitively, either with El Nasr Salines or other companies facing similar situations where National Investment Bank loans have multiplied without clear settlements, noting that the bank has rejected all proposed solutions.

Meanwhile, Saad Hilal, CEO and Managing Director of the Chemical Industries Holding Company, stated that a memorandum is being prepared to present to Dr. Hussein Issa, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, in an effort to reach a settlement regarding this loan, which is burdening El Nasr Salines—one of Egypt’s most important salt production and export companies.

According to available information, the dispute stems from a loan of 11.5 million EGP granted in 1991, with the bank demanding repayment of about 5 billion EGP by 2020, which has now risen to 9.5 billion EGP.

In April 2012, the Cairo Economic Court ordered the National Investment Bank to present the original loan contract signed with El Nasr Salines on 6 November 1991, and postponed the bank’s lawsuit demanding repayment of 39 million EGP at that time. A court-appointed accounting expert determined that the company’s debt stood at 39.3 million EGP as of 30 November 2012, excluding interest and commissions until full repayment. The company requested the court to present the original loan contract and argued for the debt to be dropped due to statute of limitations.

Regarding ongoing negotiations, the Chemical Industries Holding Company is leading efforts to resolve the debt, which has reached 9.5 billion EGP, while the original debt after previous settlements was 110 million EGP, of which 50 million EGP was repaid in 2005.

Sources revealed that three plots of land were offered to the bank as part of a settlement, with valuations completed and presented. The holding company also proposed a fair settlement amount and even suggested the bank take ownership of the company itself, but the bank refused.

Minister of Finance on a field tour of the first premium tax services center in New Cairo, ahead of its official opening:

“We are working hard to deliver on our promises… taxpayers must feel they are receiving VIP service.”

Aim: to earn the trust of the business community through real, practical facilitation measures and expand the tax base.

Together, we are taking a significant step in transforming the tax reality by shifting to a customer service culture and launching mobile application services.

Utilizing modern technology and the tax database to ease procedures for compliant partners.

Ahmed Kouchouk, Minister of Finance, toured the first premium tax services center in New Cairo, meeting with staff to ensure readiness before the official opening. He stressed: “We are working hard to deliver on our promises… taxpayers must feel VIP service.”

He added that the ministry is striving to earn the trust of the business community through facilitation measures implemented on the ground, while seeking to expand the tax base. He explained that this marks a major step in transforming the tax system into a customer service-oriented model, with the launch of mobile application services and the use of modern technology and the tax database to simplify procedures for compliant taxpayers.

The minister noted that each taxpayer will have a profile to consolidate information and documents from electronic invoice and receipt databases. He instructed staff: “Do not burden our partners with excessive requests if the data is already recorded. Simplify and streamline as much as possible. Always think about how we can improve daily and provide additional premium online services.”

Kouchouk emphasized the importance of strengthening direct electronic communication with taxpayers through chatbots, call centers, and customer service, ensuring rapid response and immediate support.

Rasha Abdel Aal, Head of the Tax Authority, announced that for the first time, the authority will delegate E-Tax Company to provide certain tax services to ease procedures for taxpayers. She noted that premium tax service centers will be supported by highly skilled staff to resolve technical issues instantly and ensure efficient performance.

Ibrahim Sarhan, Chairman and Managing Director of E-Finance for Financial and Digital Investments, confirmed that tax service quality will be measured by taxpayer satisfaction rates, with feedback from the tax community guiding continuous development through E-Tax and the introduction of new services at premium centers.

Khaled Abdel Ghani, CEO of E-Tax, stated that premium tax service centers represent a qualitative leap that will raise taxpayer satisfaction levels. He explained that more advanced and distinctive services will be offered to attract new taxpayers, thereby contributing to voluntary expansion of the tax base.

He affirmed that the company has highly qualified staff capable of engaging positively and flexibly with the tax community, providing technical and digital support. Taxpayers will be able to select services, submit requests, track progress, and book appointments via the mobile application, while a call center will evaluate performance levels to ensure service quality and sustainable improvement.

As part of efforts to address the challenges of rising gas import costs and to gradually increase local production, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has successfully added four new gas wells to the production map. These include wells in the West Burullus field in the Mediterranean (in partnership with Chiron) and wells operated by Khalda Petroleum in the Western Desert (in partnership with Apache), with a combined output estimated at 120 million cubic feet of gas per day.

In the West Burullus offshore field, operated by PetroWeb (a subsidiary of EGAS), the fourth well was tested with an output of about 50 million cubic feet per day. It is being connected to production facilities at Burullus Gas Company, raising total field output to over 100 million cubic feet per day. Work is underway to update the drilling plan to include a fifth well on the Web platform.

In the Western Desert, Khalda Petroleum achieved positive results from three new wells under Apache’s investment plan, with combined production of 70 million cubic feet of gas per day and 700 barrels of condensates.

The exploratory well SHAI-2X in the western area showed initial test results of 30 million cubic feet per day.

Another exploratory well, Mahroussa-N01X in East Abu Gharadiq, tested at 25 million cubic feet per day and 700 barrels of condensates. Both wells are scheduled to be connected to production during April.

The third well, Salam-88ST, has already been put on stream, producing about 15 million cubic feet per day.

These results reflect the impact of investment incentives introduced by the ministry, which encouraged Apache to expand exploration and production activities in Egypt.
