Egypt has received US financial support annually since 1979 and became one of the largest recipients of funds after the Iraq war. Such an arrangement has enabled Egypt to be an attractive Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) destination for many international companies. During a period characterized by a global financial crisis and weak economic growth, the Egyptian construction industry performed strongly, increasing by an annual average rate of 20.4% during 2008–2010. Such growth was accomplished by the implementation of various stimulus packages introduced by the Egyptian government during this period. However, due to recent political events, the future economic performance of the country is uncertain. Egypt relies on foreign investment, tourism and fees from the Suez Canal, all of which have been impacted by the political turmoil.
In response to the global financial crisis, the Egyptian government announced a stimulus package in November 2008. The package focused mainly on infrastructure spending, with funds allocated for water and sanitation projects, roads, bridges, ports, railways, schools, health sector projects, export promotion and enhancing industrial zone development, including six new industrial zones on the outskirts of Cairo. Nevertheless, the short-term growth prospects for the Egyptian construction industry are relatively poor. The interim government is currently investigating land deals made by the previous government, and many have been abandoned because of irregularities in the process of land allocation. This has been a cause of concern for developers, many of whom are delaying or cancelling new development activities until the situation is resolved.
