In line with the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade's (MIFT) overarching strategy and MIFT Minister, Dr. Mohamed Farid's standing directives to all bodies under MIFT's umbrella to raise the bar on investment environment quality and sharpen the delivery of government services to investors, the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) is pressing ahead with its institutional development and digital transformation agenda across the board.

Against this backdrop, GAFI CEO, Dr. Mohamed Awad sat down with the leadership of the Economic Performance Sector to review the Sector's operational progress, benchmark its key performance indicators (KPIs), and get a first-hand look at the milestones reached under the Sector's development roadmap and ongoing drive to upgrade investor-facing services.

Dr. Awad underscored the need to keep up the momentum in streamlining workflows and cutting through red tape, with a view to delivering a smoother investor experience and faster, more efficient services. He called for doubling down on digital solutions and fostering greater cross-sector integration within GAFI's operational framework.

The meeting also put a spotlight on the institutional performance, with participants reviewing efforts to sharpen the skills of the technical staff, tighten the monitoring mechanisms, and strengthen the evaluation frameworks — all geared toward bolstering GAFI's track record in drawing in both domestic and foreign investment and keeping Egypt's business environment at the competitive edge.

Wrapping up the meeting, GAFI CEO appreciated the dedication of the work teams, reaffirming GAFI's unwavering commitment to its modernization drive in step with the State's broader vision of building an investment landscape that is leaner, more agile, and increasingly attractive to investors at home and abroad.
