The government led by Dr. Mostafa Madbouly aims to continue expanding investments in the crude oil and natural gas sectors as part of its efforts to implement the economic and social development plan and strengthen the energy sector’s role as a key driver of economic growth.

The government focuses on encouraging private sector participation in oil and gas projects by developing bidding systems and simplifying procedures, in addition to shortening the timeframes for signing petroleum agreements, which contributes to accelerating project implementation and increasing the efficiency of natural resource utilization.

According to the economic and social development plan for the fiscal year 2025/2026, the government targets raising private investments in the sector to more than 350 billion Egyptian pounds by 2030, compared to about 208 billion pounds expected in 2025/2026, reflecting investors’ confidence in the Egyptian investment environment and the attractiveness of the energy sector.
