Arab Finance: Egypt has established the Egypt Sub-Fund for Industrial Investment with paid-in capital of EGP 500 million and authorized capital of EGP 10 billion to finance export-oriented industrial companies, as per a statement.
Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Mohamed Farid Saleh, who chairs the Sovereign Fund of Egypt for Investment and Development (TSFE), issued TSFE Board of Directors’ Decree No. 2/7 of 2026 establishing the new vehicle as a wholly owned TSFE sub-fund.
The fund is intended to diversify the financing and investment instruments available to the industrial sector, improve its efficiency and sustainability, and encourage investors to direct new capital toward production, manufacturing, and exports.
Saleh noted that establishing the fund diversifies financing and investment instruments to bolster industrial and production capabilities and support export growth.
Its investments will target export-oriented companies that can help increase foreign currency inflows, expand local content, localize technology, and strengthen Egypt’s industrial capabilities.
Companies will be selected based on feasibility studies and reviews by TSFE’s Investment Committee. The fund will inject capital to help eligible businesses raise production capacity, strengthen competitiveness, expand their operations, and increase exports.
It will also pursue partnerships with international industrial companies to establish new projects or develop and expand existing operations in Egypt.
The fund’s priority sectors include automotive components and ancillary industries, electronics and electrical appliances, food and beverages, textiles and ready-made garments, and pharmaceuticals.
Its investment policy centers on partnerships with private-sector companies and investment institutions. These may take the form of direct investments in businesses or indirect investments through cooperation with investment banks to establish additional industrial investment funds.
The sub-fund may also invest in industrial assets, land, and facilities when these investments support its objectives.
