Egypt Targets 67% Private Investment Share by 2030 Amid Economic Strategy Shift

Egypt’s Minister of Planning and Economic Development, Ahmed Rostom, announced plans to raise the private sector’s contribution to national investments from 43.1% in 2023/2024 to 67% by 2030. This increase follows a 57.7% share in the 2025/2026 fiscal year. The minister also noted that settling international oil company arrears in June 2026 restored confidence in Egypt’s energy market.

Rostom emphasized expanding renewable energy partnerships to achieve a 42% clean energy share in the national mix by 2030. He further outlined the Infrastructure Financing Guarantee Mechanism as a tool for regional cooperation and highlighted AfCFTA implementation, customs simplification, cross-border electrical interconnections, and green hydrogen initiatives as key drivers for energy security.
