Egypt is facing the Corona pandemic crisis with relatively good economic conditions as a result of the economic reforms it implemented. As an exception from countries of the region, global expectations for economic growth in Egypt are positive. However, this does not negate the huge effects of this crisis on the Egyptian economy. Egypt can benefit from the opportunities associated with the transformations in the global economy. There will likely be great competition to attract investments in the upcoming period. To seize its share of these foreign investments, Egypt should revisit its priorities. ECES organized this webinar to complement the distinguished lecture entitled: “Getting Ready for the New Normal – Round I”, in which it hosted Mahmoud Mohieldin, the United Nations Envoy for the 2030 Agenda for Development. The webinar aimed at discussing Egypt’s readiness for the new reality with an attempt to put forward some proposals and solutions for the current stage.
