Egypt will require $675 billion of investment over the next 20 years to meet its infrastructure needs, according to the G20 group of countries’ Global Infrastructure Outlook.

And while the government could afford around two-thirds of that amount, some $230 billion would still be missing, a recent World Bank report showed.

Improving infrastructure is seen as important to provide access to jobs, markets and basic services. It is also essential for the efficient movement of goods and services, which could ensure less waste, lower costs and could bolster Egypt’s export potential.
