Cairo International Book Fair 2026 hosted Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation, in a seminar organized by the NAWA Foundation, discussing “Egypt’s Narrative for Comprehensive Development: Reforms for Growth, Jobs and Resilience.”The seminar, moderated by Abdel Moneim Said, brought together economists, university professors, and visitors to review the country’s integrated development framework. Al-Mashat highlighted that the Narrative was developed to integrate Egypt Vision 2030 with the Government Program, responding to global economic changes since 2020. The Narrative also links development outcomes to financial performance through a programs-and-performance approach, promoting accountability and sustainable growth. Public investment governance has opened space for private sector growth, with private investments now accounting for 65% of total investments and a target of over 70% by 2030. The Minister also discussed policies enhancing private sector empowerment, competitive neutrality, and business environment reforms under the National Structural Reforms Program.
