Janet Heckman, managing director for the southern and eastern Mediterranean region at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), discusses the main areas of investment for the Bank and the crucial role Egypt plays in the region. She shares her views on the attractiveness of the country for foreign direct investment and the importance of investing in healthcare projects for EBRD.
The reforms have been successful, but we still have not yet seen a huge inflow of new investment. With a population of a 100 million people and its free trade agreements with African and Arab states, Egypt will certainly be a preferred destination of foreign investment in the future
