Egypt is set to transfer management of state-owned enterprises to its sovereign wealth fund, aiming to enhance returns on state assets, Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib announced Wednesday. This move is part of a broader divestment program to strengthen private sector involvement, a stipulation linked to an $8 billion IMF loan extension. Khatib detailed the strategy at the Investopia 2025 conference in Abu Dhabi, indicating the transfer will occur in phases.
