As part of efforts to implement President Abdel Fattah El‑Sisi’s directives issued during Egypt Forum 2026, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly chaired a meeting to review the latest developments related to the reconciliation of certain building violations and the regularisation of their status.
Madbouly stressed the importance of the file given its direct impact on a large number of citizens, noting the need to address challenges that emerged during the implementation of the current law and introduce practical facilitations to expand the number of beneficiaries.
The meeting reviewed recommendations issued by Egypt Forum 2026, including simplifying reconciliation procedures, accelerating the completion of legalisation processes within 12 months of approving legislative amendments, and taking into account citizens’ social and financial circumstances.
Discussions also covered proposals to reflect differences in property values across regions, distinguish between low-income residential housing and commercial or investment activities, expand instalment payment options, offer incentives for early payment, and simplify documentation requirements.
Officials examined potential mechanisms to implement the proposed facilitations, including revising reconciliation requirements, updating assessment and payment systems, and developing solutions for different categories of cases while maintaining a balance between social considerations and protecting state rights.
Madbouly directed officials to engage with members of parliament who have submitted amendments to the reconciliation law in order to reach a consensus on legislative changes capable of addressing existing challenges, easing procedures for citizens, and preventing new building violations.
The Prime Minister also instructed the relevant ministries and authorities to accelerate co-ordination efforts and finalise the necessary legislative and executive measures to ensure the effective implementation of the proposed reforms while supporting urban planning objectives and safeguarding state interests.
