At the end of 2005, the recently
appointed reformist government led by Prime Minister Ahmed
Nazif started to engage in drastic reforms of the business
environment. Building on the momentum created by a
successful tax reform, the government, through the General
Authority for Free Zones and Investment (GAFI), took a very
active role in the establishment of one-stop-shop
facilities. But despite some visible progress, GAFI was
still baffled by the difficulty of re-engineering
administrative processes and achieving an effective
delegation of authority from central line ministries to
their local authorities. One obvious constraint faced by
GAFI in Alexandria was the limited knowledge and
understanding of the reform process by Egypt's civil
servants. Equally, GAFI suffered from a lack of effective
recognition and support from the private sector for the
government's genuine commitment to turn Egypt into a
more transparent and predictable place for start-up investors. |
