This reports on the cost of doing
business in Egypt consistently identify delays in land
acquisition as one of the impediments to setting up new
businesses as well as attracting foreign direct investments.
Despite the provisions of Law 10/1990 (hereafter referred to
as Law 10), which lays out a legal framework for the
expropriation of real estate for public-interest projects,
these delays persist due to overlapping in national and
sectoral policies and practices. This Policy note
acknowledges the absence of a comprehensive land
administration system in Egypt. It focuses instead on the
challenges facing land acquisition for public interest
projects and theshortcomings of Law 10. It summarizes key
challenges based on the findings of key research
productsfrom the technical assistance (TA) program offered
by the World Bank to the Egyptian government concerning land
acquisition and policy reform, including the diagnostic
analysis report prepared in June 2016 and the report of the
TA Committee Members’ visit to India prepared in May 2016.
The key challenges discussed in this policy note fall under
two broad kinds: limitations in law, and policy coherence.
To help develop a more coherent and transparent approach to
land acquisition, this note also lays out recommendations
and a road map. The Annex to this note highlights the
broader issues of land administration, with a special focus
on the weak institutionalization of deeds and title
registration systems. |
