Egypt secures $1.8 bln trade finance from ITFC to support energy, food needs - Economy
Egypt has secured $1.8 billion in trade financing from the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) so far this year, the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation said on Tuesday. The funds include $1 billion allocated to the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) and $814.2 million to the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), reflecting Egypt's reliance on the ITFC to meet its energy and essential goods requirements. The announcement followed a meeting in Cairo between Egypt's Minister of Planning, Rania Al-Mashat, and the ITFC's CEO, Hani Salem Sonbol, where both sides pledged to deepen cooperation across key sectors, including energy, trade, food security, and digital development. 'The ITFC continues to be a vital partner in supporting Egypt's trade and economic resilience,' said Al-Mashat. 'This year's financing reflects the strength of our relationship and the alignment between national development goals and regional trade integration.' Since its establishment, the ITFC has extended a total of $22.2 billion to Egypt—$20.5 billion since the body's formation and $1.7 billion beforehand, making Egypt one of its largest and most consistent beneficiaries. The Cairo talks also touched on Egypt's upcoming National Narrative for Economic Development, a reform roadmap aimed at boosting exports, industrial growth, job creation, and foreign direct investment. Al-Mashat said economic reforms introduced since March 2024 had helped stabilize Egypt's macroeconomic environment and improve conditions for investment. Sonbol praised Egypt's progress, describing the partnership as 'strategic' and pledging continued support. 'We look forward to scaling our joint efforts to create more inclusive and resilient trade ecosystems,' he said. The two sides also reviewed ongoing initiatives, including the second phase of the STEP 2 export training programme, the Women in Trade initiative under the regional AFTIAS 2.0 programme, and funding for research centres and training institutes designed to enhance Egypt's export capacity and innovation potential. The meeting concluded with a commitment to increase coordination between ITFC and ministry technical teams to co-design development projects and maximise impact. 'This partnership is no longer just about financing—it's about creating a development platform that supports Egypt's long-term transformation and competitiveness,' Al-Mashat said.

Egypt, UK deepen economic, development ties ahead of Madbouly's visit to London
Egypt's Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation, Rania Al-Mashat, held talks with UK Minister of State for International Development, Baroness Jenny Chapman, on the sidelines of the G20 Development Ministers' Meeting in South Africa. The meeting focused on advancing bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, and global development reform ahead of the upcoming visit by Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly to the UK. Both officials underscored the strategic significance of the visit, describing it as a pivotal step toward transforming Egyptian-British relations into a deeper partnership. The visit also aligns with Egypt's broader push to strengthen ties with the European Union. Discussions centered on reforming global financial systems to make them more inclusive and accessible for developing countries. The ministers stressed the urgency of implementing international recommendations for greater transparency in financing and called for reforms to the UN's development frameworks to ensure stronger national ownership and coordination. Al-Mashat highlighted Egypt's expanding collaboration with the UK in key areas such as food security, entrepreneurship, and SME development. She noted that the UK remains one of Egypt's top foreign investors, with significant engagement in energy, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. The meeting also reviewed the role of key British financial institutions—including the World Bank, UK Export Finance (UKEF), and British International Investment (BII)—in supporting Egypt's development priorities. BII, which considers Egypt a key market, is actively investing in areas like renewable energy and infrastructure. The ministers acknowledged the contribution of the British-Egyptian Business Association (BEBA) and the Egyptian-British Chamber of Commerce (EBCC) in fostering stronger commercial links. Al-Mashat outlined the forthcoming launch of Egypt's 'National Narrative for Economic Development,' a strategic initiative aimed at accelerating structural reforms, boosting industrial output, and attracting foreign direct investment. She emphasized that economic measures introduced since March 2024 have stabilized the macroeconomic environment and improved investor confidence. Climate cooperation was also a major theme, with discussions on Egypt's NWFE (Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy) platform and BII's role in financing green hydrogen and clean energy projects. The UK's support for global climate funds—including the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF)—was noted, along with the joint 'Green Growth: Egypt–UK' initiative, which continues through COP30. Baroness Chapman reaffirmed the UK's commitment to its partnership with Egypt, praising Cairo's historical and humanitarian leadership—particularly its role in supporting Gaza. She also reiterated the UK's call for a sustainable ceasefire to ensure unimpeded humanitarian aid. The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to deepening economic and development cooperation and advocating for global financial reforms that empower developing countries.
