2.4. Recent Industrial Programs 2.4.1. The one thousand factories program The program which will been carried out during 2006-11 aims at encouraging the partnership between the private sector and the bank sector to build one thousand large factories subject to international standards and expanding the present factories with investments higher than LE 15 million. The year 2006 has witnessed an involvement with 110 large factories with an implementation rate of 122 percent within the period January – September. The number of new factories that began production reached 62 factories while 48 factories have witnessed expansion with a rate of 43%. The investment costs reached LE 5.644 million. The cost of the new factories was LE 3.599 and the expansion cost was about LE 2.045 million. This activity provided 26.128 extra jobs with 17.197 jobs in the new factories. 2.4.2. Business market program The program aims at financing 2000 small and overage projects in the fields of industry and productive services that have the ability of quick operation. Their investments range from LE 5 million to LE 15 million for the average project and less than LE 5 million for the small one. The number implemented factories during the period January-September/2006 reached 436 projects. 2.4.3. The Egyptian industry modernization Program In the framework of Egyptian – European partnership, Egypt began to implement the modernization program since the fiscal year 2002/03. The program aims at increasing the competitiveness of Egyptian products to allow the country to be integrated within the global economy. This will lead to the increase of the industrial export volume and the creation of more jobs. The modernization program costs 437 million EURO, the European Union contributed 250 million euros or 59 percent of the total cost. The program has benefited 430 industrial facilities during the first three years. The Industrial Modernization Center (IMC) has assumed the full supervision on implementing the program since 2005/06. The center succeeded in implementing the program in 3.400 facilities within the modernization plan with a financing volume of 146 million EURO during this year 145,6 million EURO were allocated to finance the modernization program during 2006/07 to allow a total of 7.300 facilities to have benefited from the program. The IMC, in cooperation with the Union of Industries and the banking system, plan to pump LE 70 billion to finance the implementation of the 1000 factories program during 2005/2011. This will participate in raising the industrial growth rate from 5 percent to 9 percent within this period and will increase direct job opportunities by 1,5 million. The 24 the research and innovation system in Egypt
job opportunities will thus increase from 2,4 million to 3,9 million. Industrial exports are expected to increase from LE 18 billion to LE 42 billion within the mentioned period. 2.5. Protecting The Environment In June 1997, the responsibility of Egypt’s first full time Minister of State for Environmental Affairs was assigned as stated in the Presidential Decree no.275/1997. From thereon, the new ministry has focused, in close collaboration with the national and international development partners, on defining environmental policies, setting priorities and implementing initiatives within a context of sustainable development. According to the Law 4/1994 for the Protection of the Environment, the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) was restructured with the new mandate to substitute the institution initially established in 1982. At the central level, EEAA represents the executive arm of the Ministry. The Principal Functions of the Agency Include: • Formulating environmental policies. • Preparing the necessary plans for Environmental protection and Environmental development projects, following up their implementation, and undertaking Pilot Projects. • The Agency is the National Authority in charge of promoting environmental relations between Egypt and other States, as well as Regional and International Organizations. 2.6. The Industrial Production Development In the framework of the efforts exerted by industrial sector to support the Egyptian industrial products in occupying a suitable position in international markets, the productivity of a number of basic industries was significantly increased during the past twenty five years. In addition, such new hi-tech fields such as micro-electronic industries were introduced. The industrial structure in Egypt is based on seven industries representing 80 percent of the industrial facilities. The country’s three top industries are textiles, food and beverages. Furniture, minerals, chemicals and metallurgy are also major industries. In regard to the distribution of industrial production sector in 2005, it was remarkable that the engineering, electronic and electric industries ranked first with 30 present of the industrial production volume. Then tobacco, foods and beverage sector with 23 percent, the chemical industries with 15 percent and the weaving and spinning, clothing and leather products with 10 percent. These are the most important four sector in the Egyptian economy in terms of the number of industrial facilities, their participation in the total industrial production and their capacity to absorb labor force and offered wages level. In 2005 they obtained 78 percent of industrial investments and 79 percent of labor force. The volume of production has been regularly growing in many industries. In 2005/06 the 25 2.
