The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is organising its second Business Forum for the southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) region: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, and the West Bank and Gaza. The theme of the event will be “Investing for Sustainable Growth”.

The Forum will take place at the Conrad Hotel in Cairo on 14 November 2017, and has been organised in close cooperation with the Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation of Egypt.

This one-day event will bring together key policy-makers, government officials, investors and prominent business people to discuss the business outlook in the region, and to consider the obstacles impeding an increase in foreign investment.

EBRD President Suma Chakrabarti will open the forum together with Sahar Nasr, Minister of International Cooperation and EBRD Governor of Egypt. This will be followed by a discussion with the EBRD governors and alternate governors from the SEMED countries, Imad Najib Fakhoury, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation of Jordan; Zied Ladhari, Minister of Development, Investment and International Cooperation of Tunisia; Alain Bifani, Director General, Ministry of Finance of Lebanon and EBRD Alternate Governor; Faouzia Zaaboul, Director of Treasury, Ministry of Finance of Morocco and EBRD Alternate Governor, as well as Azzam Shawwa, Governor of the Palestinian Monetary Authority and representative of the West Bank and Gaza.
