Egypt, represented by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), is participating in the launch event of the Production Transformation Policy Review (PTPR) of Egypt, organized by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) online, on July 8, within the framework of OECD Initiative for Policy Dialogue on Global Value Chains, Production Transformation and Development.
Under the theme “Embracing Change, Achieving Prosperity,” the PTPR of Egypt uses a forward-looking framework to assess the country's readiness to embrace change. This includes an analysis of the game-changing potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and perspectives on agro-food and electronics, as well as identifying priorities for future reforms.
The event is organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade of Industry, the Industrial Modernization Center (IMC), the UN Economic Commission for Africa, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), AFREXIMBANK and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
Established in 1961, the OECD aims to assist its 34 Member States to boost their economic growth, employment rates and the trading volume between Member and Non-Member States.
