Mohamed Khodeir discusses the establishment and growth of his law firm, Khodeir & Partners, which launched at the onset of the global pandemic.
He offers a detailed analysis of Egypt's economic evolution, and how heavy government investment in infrastructure and power paved the way for the current empowerment of the private sector. The state, he explains, is now transitioning assets back to private interests through a macroeconomic reform programme aimed at attracting billions in foreign investment.
Khodeir emphasises the importance of streamlining administrative approvals, singling out the "golden licence" for its role in accelerating strategic projects, and sets out a vision for improving Egypt's investment climate through better promotion, legislative incentives and a stronger stock market.
