1,800 US Companies Invested USD 47 Billion in Egypt Over 20 Years

More than 1,800 American companies have invested a combined USD 47 billion in Egypt over the past two decades, according to Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly during his remarks at the 2025 US–Egypt Policy Leaders Forum.

Speaking to US business leaders including US Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark and Apache CEO John Christmann, Madbouly outlined the sectors that have attracted the most US capital, including energy, technology, manufacturing, and healthcare. He described the figures as a reflection of the strong economic ties between the two countries.

Madbouly also discussed ongoing efforts to increase private sector participation in Egypt’s economy, including the implementation of the State Ownership Policy and the expansion of the ‘Golden License’ programme to streamline investment approvals. He pointed to Egypt’s strategic location, growing digital infrastructure, and skilled workforce as incentives for future investment, and encouraged further collaboration between US firms and Egyptian partners.
