With a population of over 88 million and a GDP of USD 272 billion there are solid opportunities for U.S. firms in the medium-to-long term. Egypt’s strategic location offers companies a platform for their commercial activities into the Middle East and Africa. In 2014, U.S. – Egypt bilateral trade increased from USD 6.8 billion in 2013 to USD 7.9 billion. US Exports to Egypt increased 20% from USD 5.18 billion to USD 6.47, while Egyptian exports to the U.S. decreased from USD 1.61 billion to USD 1.41 billion. Egypt is the third largest export market for U.S. products and services in the Middle East and the 39th largest export market in the world. U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in Egypt reached USD 21.1 billion in 2014 representing 32% of U.S. direct investment in Africa. In 2014, Egypt was the largest recipient of U.S. direct investment in Africa, and second in the Middle East. The U.S. is Egypt’s third largest trading partner and the second largest foreign investor after the U.K. Egypt’s GDP grew approximately 2.2 percent in 2014 and foreign reserves dropped to USD 15 billion in January 2015 from 17 billion in January 2014 with an injection from Gulf donors. Egypt’s credit rating increased to B-/B in November 2013. Following the change of government in July 2013, Egypt continues to struggle with slow economic growth. Since then, Egyptians voted to approve a new constitution in January 2014, and presidential elections were held in May 2014. The new president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah El- Sisi, was sworn in on June 8, 2014. Parliamentary elections are expected to take place in the fall of 2015. Delays in government decision making and foreign currency availability continue to create challenges for foreign traders and investors. Market Challenges Return to top The Central Bank’s currency auction system and currency controls continue to restrict access to foreign currency. Egypt’s inability to significantly increase its level of exports and foreign direct investment, while its imports continue to rise, means that a lack of foreign exchange is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Long term monetary policy and fiscal reforms, including broadening of the tax base and subsidy reform are critical to overall economic stability. While significant progress was made on reforms in 2014, more recently the government has delayed several planned reform measures including fuel cards, implementation of a VAT and capital gains taxes, and income tax increases. Although the oil and gas sector presents opportunities, low energy prices and government arrearages to international oil companies and market-distorting subsidies have fostered under- investment and over-consumption. Egypt is a signatory to international arbitration agreements; however Egyptian courts do not always recognize foreign judgments. Resolution of any dispute is very slow, with the time to adjudicate a case to completion averaging three to five years. Other obstacles to trade and investment include excessive bureaucracy, a shortage of skilled labor, and limited access to credit, slow and cumbersome customs procedures, intellectual property issues and non-tariff trade barriers. Market Opportunities Return to top The renewable equipment market is worth several billion dollars. In 2008, the Egyptian Supreme Energy Council approved the Egyptian Renewable Energy National Strategy to satisfy 20 percent of the generated electricity by 2022 using renewable energies. The architecture/construction market has been growing rapidly at a rate of 15 percent a year since the 1980s, resulting in a substantial boom in residential and commercial real estate. There is strong demand for infrastructure projects due to rapid population growth and housing shortages. The sector is expected to grow 70% over the next five years to reach USD 12 billion. Egypt is the largest oil producer in Africa outside OPEC and is also the largest oil and natural gas consumer in Africa. Over the past two years, 53 agreements were signed, with minimum investments of roughly $2.9 billion and a total of $432 million in signing bonuses for the drilling of 228 wells. In early 2015, procedures are underway to ink three new agreements, with investments totaling $9.2 billion. The Egyptian government is keen on expanding the healthcare industry, especially relating to medical devices, and plans for the development of 26 new hospitals in 2015. Nevertheless, challenges include the registration process and IPR protection. Consumer healthcare grew by 14 percent in 2014 and spending was USD 23.4 billion. Egypt’s economy is diverse, with agriculture, manufacturing, energy, and services constituting the bulk of output. Agriculture accounts for 40 percent of employment and 20 percent of GDP. Egypt relies heavily on imported wheat, corn and soybeans of which the U.S. is a supplier. Market Entry Strategy Return to top U.S. small and medium-sized companies should find an Egyptian firm to represent them in the local market. The U.S. Commercial Service offers the Gold Key and International Partner Search programs that are designed to assist U.S. companies in identifying local agents/distributors for their products. It is advisable to take a long-term approach to the Egyptian market rather than seeking immediate return. U.S. firms should be aware of the current status regarding access to foreign exchange and make efforts to structure their business in a manner which will limit exposure to foreign exchange restraints. The U.S. Embassy sends many Egyptian buyer delegations to designated International Buyer Program shows in the U.S. Trade missions and regional trade shows provide other opportunities to meet Egyptian buyers. See www.export.gov/egypt for the latest events.

S. Products and Services • Using an Agent or Distributor • Establishing an Office • Franchising • Direct Marketing • Joint Ventures/Licensing • Selling to the Government • Distribution and Sales Channels • Selling Factors/Techniques • Electronic Commerce • Trade Promotion and Advertising • Pricing • Sales Service/Customer Support • Protecting Your Intellectual Property • Due Diligence • Local Professional Services • Web Resources Using an Agent or Distributor Return to top It is highly recommended that U.S. companies enter the Egyptian market via a well-placed agent or distributor, particularly if working with government agencies. Established agents and distributors offer in-depth knowledge of local laws and regulations and they can offer key introductions in a society that is relationship-based. Agents can coordinate transactions with the Egyptian buyer, including after-sales service, and are committed to finalizing the transaction to their client’s satisfaction. Additionally, agents and distributors perform a public relations role, exposing the U.S. Company’s brand, product, or services to a wide network of contacts within Egypt. It is also advisable to take a long-term approach to the Egyptian market rather than seeking immediate return. Egyptian law concerning commercial agency agreements is among the most liberal in the Middle East. The law, which is neutral concerning exclusivity and compensation, does not require you to cancel an agency agreement once you enter into one, and there is no minimum notification period for cancellation. There is no requirement that the agent authorizes the import of the foreign principal's products into Egypt or that the importation takes place through the agent. Importers of any product must be separately registered. Commercial agents must register the existence of their agency with the Ministry of Trade and Industry Commercial Registry Department, giving basic facts about the agreement, including the amount of commission received on sales. The foreign firm itself faces no local registration requirement. The commercial agency law is also neutral concerning dispute settlement procedures, leaving this to the parties to decide, preferably in writing, at the time of appointment of the agent. Commission rates vary according to the type of product or service, volume of sales, and involvement needed by the agent. The larger the volume of sales is, the smaller the commission. For commodities such as rice, wheat, sugar, lumber or cotton, the commission ranges between 1-3 percent; for chemicals and foodstuffs 3-5 percent; for medical equipment, earthmoving equipment, and office/business equipment, about 10 percent; for expensive laboratory and scientific equipment 15 percent. For major related projects such as a complete civil engineering project, the commission is typically 3-5 percent. In tenders, the commission is calculated in the quoted bid. If a bidder reduces the bid price, the agent typically is asked to share in the reduction.

    President Abd al Fatah al-Sisi and the stability of Egypt and the region Shaul Shay November 2016 Two years since Abdel Fattah al- Sisi toppled former President Mohamed Morsi in 2013, there are two main dangers that threaten the stability of the Egyptian regime: economy and security. Egypt, a state of 90 million people has deteriorating economic and living conditions. Al-Sisi’s regime is challenged by serious economic problems that threaten the stability of the regime. The most prominent problems include the lack of foreign currencies, the devaluation of the Egyptian pound value against the US dollar, the increase of prices on the majority of the basic goods, high unemployment and bureaucracy and corruption. Although the Egyptian security forces produced an atmosphere of security and stability, the war against the radical Islamic groups and the Muslim Brotherhood is far from being over. Cairo’s prosecutor general said in a statement on November 20, 2016, that the country’s President Abd al Fatah al-Sisi had faced two previous assassination attempts: one in Saudi Arabia and the second in Egypt. The assassination attempt on Sisi was part of a larger plan to overthrow the current regime that would also involve the assassination of former interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim over the 2013 dispersal of Cairo sit- ins supporting ousted president Mohamed Morsi, according to the prosecution.1 This is the first time that Egypt officially acknowledged assassination attempts against Sisi. Egypt will try 292 militant suspects over plots to assassinate President Sisi and attacks in the Sinai Peninsula. The suspects were also responsible for carrying out a number of high-profile attacks in North and South Sinai, including the bombing of a tourist bus in the resort town of Taba in February 2014 that killed two South Koreans and an Egyptian driver.

  • Nigeria's Renewal: Delivering Inclusive Growth in Africa's Largest Economy
    McKinsey Global Institute McKinsey Global Institute Nigeria’s renewal: Delivering renewal: Nigeria’s inclusive largest growth economy in Africa’s July 2014 Nigeria’s renewal: Delivering inclusive growth in Africa’s largest economy The McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, was established in 1990 to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth; natural resources; labour markets; the evolution of global financial markets; the economic impact of technology and innovation; and urbanisation. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, the economic impact of the Internet, and the future of manufacturing. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI partners. Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey & Company’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey & Company’s global network of partners and industry and management experts.

It would not have been possible without my chair, Carol Bardenstein, who helped shape the project from its inception. I am particularly grateful for her guidance and encouragement to pursue ideas that others may have found too far afield for a “literature” dissertation, while making sure I did not lose sight of the texts themselves. Anton Shammas, throughout my graduate career, pushed me to new ways of thinking that I could not have reached on my own. Coming from outside the field of Arabic literature, Megan Sweeney provided incisive feedback that ensured I spoke to a broader audience and helped me better frame and articulate my arguments. Samer Ali’s ongoing support and feedback, even before coming to the University of Michigan (UM), likewise was instrumental in bringing this dissertation to fruition.

  • U.S.-Egyptian Relations Since the 2011 Revolution: the Limits of Leverage
    U.S.-Egyptian Relations Since the 2011 Revolution: The Limits of Leverage An Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Politics in partial fulfillment of the Honors Program by Benjamin Wolkov April 29, 2015 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1. A History of U.S.-Egyptian Relations 7 Chapter 2. Foreign Policy Framework 33 Chapter 3. The Fall of Mubarak, the Rise of the SCAF 53 Chapter 4. Morsi’s Presidency 82 Chapter 5. Relations Under Sisi 115 Conclusion 145 Bibliography 160 1 Introduction Over the past several decades, the United States and Egypt have had a special relationship built around military cooperation and the pursuit of mutual interests in the Middle East. At one point, Egypt was the primary nemesis of American interests in the region as it sought to spread its own form of Arab socialism in cooperation with the Soviet Union. However, since President Anwar Sadat’s decision to sign the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty in 1979, Egypt has proven a bulwark of the United States interests it once opposed. Specifically, those interests are peace with Israel, the continued flow of oil, American control of the region, and stability within the Middle East. In addition to ensuring these interests, the special friendship has given the United States privileges with Egypt, including the use of Egyptian airspace, expedited transit through the Suez Canal for American warships, and the basing of an extraordinary rendition program on Egyptian territory. Noticeably, the United States has developed its relationship with Egypt on military grounds, concentrating on national security rather than issues such as the economy or human rights.
