Ashraf Shoukry, deputy head of the SOE unit, said Law No. 170 of 2025, which regulates state ownership in companies, mandates the unit to establish and monitor restructuring programmes within binding timelines. This framework is intended to support the State Ownership Policy and propose legal structures to improve corporate performance. She described the State Ownership Policy as the primary reference for determining the extent of state intervention across various sectors. Egypt was the first country in the region to adopt a State Ownership Policy and recently ratified Law No.
