PM follows up on real estate export strategy, digital property platform
Speaking during a meeting on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, in New Alamein City, Madbouly said Egypt aims to simplify property acquisition procedures for foreigners and streamline real estate registration, while promoting Egyptian property abroad through embassies and consulates.
Cabinet spokesperson Mohamed al-Homsany said the meeting reviewed progress on launching a digital platform for real estate exports, including coordination with relevant agencies, technical aspects, and regulatory frameworks.
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology reported it has issued property identification numbers for over 18 million residential units. The Justice Ministry is preparing legal frameworks for issuing ownership and transaction certificates.
The platform will launch its pilot phase in September 2025 in New Alamein City, expanding to Sheikh Zayed City in December 2025, before rolling out nationwide by mid-2026.
The platform will offer listings from both public and private developers, and include a digital registry to facilitate ownership transfer and boost transparency, officials said.

Egypt, UK deepen economic, development ties ahead of Madbouly's visit to London
Egypt's Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation, Rania Al-Mashat, held talks with UK Minister of State for International Development, Baroness Jenny Chapman, on the sidelines of the G20 Development Ministers' Meeting in South Africa. The meeting focused on advancing bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, and global development reform ahead of the upcoming visit by Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly to the UK. Both officials underscored the strategic significance of the visit, describing it as a pivotal step toward transforming Egyptian-British relations into a deeper partnership. The visit also aligns with Egypt's broader push to strengthen ties with the European Union. Discussions centered on reforming global financial systems to make them more inclusive and accessible for developing countries. The ministers stressed the urgency of implementing international recommendations for greater transparency in financing and called for reforms to the UN's development frameworks to ensure stronger national ownership and coordination. Al-Mashat highlighted Egypt's expanding collaboration with the UK in key areas such as food security, entrepreneurship, and SME development. She noted that the UK remains one of Egypt's top foreign investors, with significant engagement in energy, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. The meeting also reviewed the role of key British financial institutions—including the World Bank, UK Export Finance (UKEF), and British International Investment (BII)—in supporting Egypt's development priorities. BII, which considers Egypt a key market, is actively investing in areas like renewable energy and infrastructure. The ministers acknowledged the contribution of the British-Egyptian Business Association (BEBA) and the Egyptian-British Chamber of Commerce (EBCC) in fostering stronger commercial links. Al-Mashat outlined the forthcoming launch of Egypt's 'National Narrative for Economic Development,' a strategic initiative aimed at accelerating structural reforms, boosting industrial output, and attracting foreign direct investment. She emphasized that economic measures introduced since March 2024 have stabilized the macroeconomic environment and improved investor confidence. Climate cooperation was also a major theme, with discussions on Egypt's NWFE (Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy) platform and BII's role in financing green hydrogen and clean energy projects. The UK's support for global climate funds—including the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF)—was noted, along with the joint 'Green Growth: Egypt–UK' initiative, which continues through COP30. Baroness Chapman reaffirmed the UK's commitment to its partnership with Egypt, praising Cairo's historical and humanitarian leadership—particularly its role in supporting Gaza. She also reiterated the UK's call for a sustainable ceasefire to ensure unimpeded humanitarian aid. The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to deepening economic and development cooperation and advocating for global financial reforms that empower developing countries.

Egypt, Italy Hold High-Level Phone Call
Taarek Refaat Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Migration Badr Abdelatty held a telephone conversation on Sunday with Antonio Tajani, Italy's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs to discuss critical developments across the Middle East and Africa. The call focused on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the ongoing instability in Libya and the Horn of Africa, and Egypt's escalating concerns over Nile water security. According to Tamim Khalaf, official spokesperson for the ministry, Minister Abdelatty briefed his Italian counterpart on Egypt's ongoing efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza and facilitate the entry of humanitarian and relief aid to the besieged Palestinian enclave. The Egyptian minister condemned what he described as 'blatant violations' committed by Israeli forces in Gaza. Minister Tajani expressed full appreciation for Egypt's mediation role, voicing support for Cairo's initiative to host an international reconstruction and recovery conference once a ceasefire is achieved. He also confirmed Italy's participation in the event. Both ministers agreed to intensify joint diplomatic coordination in the coming weeks to help de-escalate the conflict and ensure unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid. The conversation also touched on mounting tensions in the Horn of Africa, where both sides emphasized the need for continued coordination in light of growing regional instability. Minister Abdelatty also raised Egypt's long-standing concerns regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and broader Nile water security. He reiterated Egypt's position that shared water resources must be managed in accordance with international law, advocating for cooperation based on consensus and mutual benefit. Abdelatty rejected any unilateral actions in the Eastern Nile Basin, warning that Egypt would take all measures guaranteed under international law to protect its vital water interests and the rights of its people. On Libya, the two diplomats underscored the urgent need to hold presidential and parliamentary elections simultaneously at the earliest opportunity. Both sides stressed that dismantling militias and ensuring the withdrawal of all foreign fighters and mercenaries is essential for restoring Libya's sovereignty, ensuring long-term security, and addressing the root causes of irregular migration across the Mediterranean. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Egypt's PM orders road maintenance review, tougher penalties to curb accidents
Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has ordered a comprehensive review of all road maintenance nationwide and called for stiffer penalties for traffic violations in an effort to curb road accidents, particularly on the Regional Ring Road. Madbouly chaired a meeting on Sunday in the city of New Alamein to follow up on measures to address the accidents, his office said in a statement. The prime minister acknowledged that while the state has made significant progress in expanding and improving its road network, the focus must now shift to reducing accidents. 'There is a technical aspect that we, as a government, will deal with, but there is another aspect related to the behaviour and violations committed by some drivers,' Madbouly said. He stressed that all practices by drivers must be governed and that while there are problems on some roads, they will be addressed through quality operation and maintenance. Madbouly directed the Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport, Kamel El-Wazir, to conduct a comprehensive review of all road maintenance, regardless of which authority has jurisdiction over them. At the same time, Madbouly said the government would begin to tighten penalties for driving violations and work on an awareness axis. 'There will be deterrent penalties for driving violations,' he said, adding that the awareness campaign would be approached from a religious perspective through the Ministry of Awqaf, and a general awareness perspective through several other ministries and relevant bodies. During the meeting, El-Wazir explained that the 400-km Regional Ring Road is a vital link between all major road arteries in the country and plays a crucial role in connecting various sea and dry ports. He outlined a two-phase plan to develop and upgrade the entire road. El-Wazir also reviewed measures already taken to address accidents on the ring road, noting that, following a presidential directive, sections of the road undergoing maintenance have been closed to protect citizens' lives. He said a committee of specialists had been formed to implement a plan for traffic flow on alternative routes, which will be equipped with various warning signs. The committee also recommended replacing small plastic barriers in traffic diversions with fixed concrete barriers, closing all openings in central and side barriers to reduce wrong-way driving, increasing warning signs and night lighting in development sections, and reducing the length of diversions. The committee also stressed the need for complete traffic control in diversions, monitored by cameras and radars, and the activation of security inspection areas to enforce speed limits and reduce violations, especially by heavy transport vehicles.
