Aviation major driver of economic growth, connectivity in Egypt
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released a study measuring the significant economic and employment benefits aviation (including aviation-related tourism) generates for Egypt. Based on 2023 figures, this includes: $21.1 billion of economic activity which is equal to 5.3% of Egypt's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (including wider supply chain, employee spending, and tourism activities) 1.4 million jobs (across the supply chain and including tourism), of which 32,800 are directly employed by airlines 338,600 tonnes of air cargo handled 'Aviation is a key contributor to Egypt's economy. Directly and through its well-developed tourism industry, aviation supports nearly 1.4 million jobs. And over 5% of Egypt's GDP has close links to aviation. Importantly, the Egyptian government is using the aviation sector as a strategic enabler for its economic and social development. I was encouraged by the Minister of Civil Aviation's reaffirmation of the government's commitment to continued close collaboration with IATA in order to further expand aviation's benefits to Egypt—guided by global standards and best practices across all areas of aviation, including safety, sustainability, cost-efficiency, skills development, and more,' said Kamil Alawadhi, IATA's Regional Vice-President for Africa and Middle East following a meeting with Dr. Sameh Elhefny, Minister of Civil Aviation, Egypt. Key Priorities for Egypt To continue maximising the benefits of aviation, IATA highlights three key priorities for Egypt: Cost-Efficiency: As Egypt strategically invests in airport infrastructure (Cairo International, Borg El Arab and Sphinx International), IATA urges the government to collaborate with airline users and adhere to global best practices. Such collaboration will avoid unnecessary financial burdens on airlines and passengers. Sustainability: IATA is encouraged by Egypt's collaboration with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to create the capacity to produce 120,000 tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) annually. This supports Egypt's Vision 2030 and aligns with the global goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in aviation by 2050. It is an encouraging step which will help place Egypt and its aviation sector on the patch to achieving its common goal of decarbonising aviation.

Zimbabwe Government Delivers on Commitment: Compensation of Former Farm Owners Under the Global Compensation Deed Commences
In February 2025, Government disbursed US$20 million towards compensation of investors protected by Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement whose farms were affected by the 2000 Land Reform programme HARARE, ZIMBABWE – EQS Newswire – 10 April 2025 – Zimbabwe Government has started fulfilling its commitment to compensate Former Farm Owners (FFOs) claims under the Global Compensation Deed (GCD) signed in 2020. To date, 740 farms have been approved for compensation. In this regard, Government disbursed US$3.1 million for the first batch of 378 processed farms. This amount is 1 per cent of the total compensation claim value of US$311 million. Government has also issued Treasury bonds amounting to US$ 308 million for the first batch of farmers. FFOs receive 1 per cent of their claim in cash, with the balance being paid through US$ denominated Treasury bonds with a 2 per cent coupon and maturities of 2 to 10 years. Government allocated US$10 million in the 2025 National Budget for the compensation of FFOs under the GCD. Zimbabwe's Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion, Hon. Prof. Mthuli Ncube, reaffirmed the Government's commitment to reforms aimed at clearing the country's arrears and resolving its debt burden, emphasizing that 'payments to FFOs will continue.' ' Monday 24 March 2025 saw the first US Dollar Cash payments due under this plan being paid to the signed up FFOs,' said Mr. Andrew. J. Pascoe, Chairperson of the Compensation Steering Committee. Mr. Pascoe thanked His Excellency, President Dr. E.D Mnangagwa for upholding the commitment to compensate FFOs for improvements on farms acquired under the Fast Track Land Reform Programme more than 20 years ago. He believes this move ' will attract and strengthen the local, regional and international goodwill that will be vital for the success of the country's current Arrears Clearance and Debt Resolution Process.' UNDP Resident Representative Dr. Ayodele Odusola welcomed the progress made under the GCD framework and expressed commitment 'to supporting a transparent, inclusive, and sustainable process that contributes to economic recovery and re-engagement .' Ambassador of Switzerland to Zimbabwe, H.E. Stéphane Rey said; 'These initial payments are a step in the right direction and hopefully more farmers will come forward to seek compensation based on this development.' This compensation marks another historic milestone. In February 2025, Government disbursed US$20 million towards compensation of investors protected by Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement whose farms were affected by the 2000 Land Reform programme. Both milestones are key as Zimbabwe seeks to clear its arrears, restore debt sustainability, and unlock new concessional external financing to achieve its development goals. Zimbabwe further calls for support from partners to complement its efforts. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Zimbabwe's Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion.
