Boosting productivity and strengthening competitiveness top the priorities of Egypt’s economic transformation programme, Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk said at talabat’s annual celebration, highlighting the private sector’s role in driving innovation, expanding exports and creating jobs. 

Kouchouk said the programme focuses on boosting exports and supporting goods-producing and service sectors, with strong opportunities for export growth.

“We are working to make the best use of our resources to advance development, serve citizens and stimulate economic activity,” he said. The programme also aims to deliver better services for the middle class while maintaining the country’s social protection system.

Creating more jobs, improving incomes and expanding services are central objectives, the minister added. He stressed that economic success is closely linked to the success of businesses, describing talabat as an example of how companies can support innovation and development. 

“We take pride in seeing talabat Egypt export services, ideas and innovative ways of working to other markets,” Kouchouk said.
