Egypt offers new incentives to boost steel output

Ministry of Industry has announced a new package of investment incentives to encourage the establishment of factories for cold-rolled, galvanized, and colored steel sheets, a critical input for several vital sectors.

The move aligns with directives from the political leadership to support strategic industries and deepen local manufacturing.

The incentives offer exceptional facilitations for investors in this activity, including:

Competitive prices and priority in the allocation of industrial land for new projects,

Flexible payment terms tied to adherence to the implementation schedule,

Concessional loans to finance working capital and production lines,

Operating license issuance within 24 hours by the General Authority for Industrial Development, upon completion of all conditions and documentation,

Immediate provision of all basic utilities including electricity, water, gas, roads, and telecommunications, and

Priority for local steel factories in supplying the needs of national megaprojects.

Steel products are widely used across a range of strategic industries, most notably home appliances (refrigerators, washers, ovens, air conditioners), the automotive and transport sectors (car bodies, buses, trucks), metal furniture, medical industries (equipment, medical refrigerators), agricultural equipment (tractors, greenhouses), metal packaging, and metal construction.

The new incentives are part of the state's vision to build a strong industrial base capable of regional and international competition, and to localize key upstream industries that form the foundation of major strategic sectors.
