In order to ensure that the policy priorities chosen for the Egyptian government respond to the actual needs of the business community while taking into account the specific nature of Egypt’s business climate, we value the input from public sector and private sector stakeholders into this process. During the three days of the OECD workshops we intend to debate the following topics:
Investment Policy and Promotion; Privatisation and Public-Private Partnerships; Business Law & Conflict Resolution; SME policy; Trade Policy and Facilitation; Human Capital and Access to Finance.

The purpose of these workshops are to:

• discuss the recommendations identified in Phase I of the BCDS process;
• analyse ways of strengthening the government’s policies in these areas;
• establish short-term, medium-term and long-term policy objectives;
• identify projects and schemes that will have a measurable impact on the local business climate.
