An environment of stability and recovery

Egypt is undergoing a moment of profound transformation in a regional environment marked by instability. The country has established itself as one of the most stable in the region and as a strategic player in North Africa and the Middle East.

After the years of tension resulting from the shortage of foreign currency between 2022 and 2024, the situation has stabilized and the country has regained a certain operational normality. Today it is already the third largest African market for Spanish exports, reflecting its growing weight and potential for industry.

A mission to consolidate relationships and identify opportunities

From February 9 to 12, amec coordinated a trade mission that started in Cairo with an analysis session by the Economic and Commercial Office of Spain. It shared an updated view of the macroeconomic context and bilateral relations between Spain and Egypt.

Beyond the business agendas, the mission allowed us to strengthen our dialogue with key players in the Egyptian economic ecosystem. Among them is the Suez Canal Economic Zone, conceived as a logistics and industrial hub with tax advantages and preferential access to multiple international markets. It was agreed to study the organization of a specific visit for a future Spanish delegation.

Sectoral developments such as Robbiki Leather City, a complex specialized in the leather industry, and Damietta Furniture City, a strategic pole for furniture manufacturing with a clear export orientation, were also discussed. These projects are part of a broader strategy of industrialization and infrastructure modernization that the country is deploying on a large scale.

A market with regional projection

The mission confirmed that Egypt is at a time of strong industrial development and openness to foreign investment. For industrial companies, the country represents not only a large domestic market, but also a potential platform for access to other regional markets thanks to its trade agreements.

amec’s objective is to continue accompanying companies in this process, strengthening institutional alliances and facilitating structured and strategic access to markets with potential.
