The meeting was attended by Minister of Investment and
Foreign Trade, Engineer Hassan El-Khatib.
Madbouly reaffirmed the state’s strong interest in the
mining sector, pointing to Egypt’s vast potential and rich natural resources.
He stressed the importance of supporting investment in this key sector,
particularly gold, by offering additional incentives and supportive measures to
attract investors and increase the sector’s contribution to the national
economy.
The Prime Minister also highlighted the need to keep pace
with global developments in gold investment tools and to adopt international
standards to facilitate integration into global economic blocs that produce and
export gold. He also emphasized the crucial role of gold investment funds in
providing a secure and accessible investment environment. These funds offer a
wide range of options for different segments of society and help meet growing
demand for investment in this precious metal.
El-Khatib presented several proposals aimed at aligning
Egypt with leading international standards, specifications, and regulatory
frameworks in the gold mining and investment sector.
