Chairman of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI), Mohamed Abdel Wahab, made a tour on Wednesday of Benha and Mit Ghamr investment zones to appraise progress in the implementation of different projects in them.
The tour, which comes in line with directives by Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli for offering support to investment zones, also aimed to assess efforts made to raise production in the two zones.
Inside the Benha Investment Zone, Abdel Wahab visited some companies working in the field of agricultural production and food manufacturing.
He held meetings with a host of zone investors to discuss means of supporting and facilitating production within the zone.
Abdel Wahab said his authority had taken all necessary measures to develop investment zones across Egypt.
“The authority also moves ahead with constructing new zones,” Abdel Wahab said.
“This is contributing to increasing investment opportunities in Egypt’s different governorates,” he added.
Inside the Mit Ghamr Investment Zone, Abdel Wahab also visited companies working in the fields of engineering industries.
He also visited some companies that work in the fields of aluminum and paper manufacturing and trading, along with others that manufacture sanitary ware and refrigerators.
Abdel Wahab said the Benha and Mit Ghamr investment zones are 100 per cent full.
He referred to approval by the cabinet of facilities and incentives to support and encourage small investors.
