Arab Finance: The Egyptian government is seeking to implement more reforms in fiscal, monetary, and trade policies to create a clear and transparent investment environment, Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Hassan El-Khatib announced during a roundtable discussion.

Organized by LYNX Strategic Business Advisors, the roundtable tackled the government’s effort to facilitate procedures for investors.
