In March 2004, Barclays acquired 100% ownership of the business and continued since then as an engine of growth through realization of its horizontal and vertical expansion plans. Barclays has a wide network of 60 branches in 22 governorates all over Egypt. Almost 60% of Barclays Egypt branches are in three major governorates which are Cairo, Giza and Alexandria.

Panel 1 – Day 1 – Egypt’s Economic Vision 2013 and Beyond

Experiences of Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia indicate the importance of achieving a national

consensus on an economic vision for the future, and the policies and programs needed to achieve it,

yet for the past two years now economic issues have been put aside as Egyptians focused on politics

and questions of religion and national identity. As a result, the economic situation has seriously

deteriorated and aspirations for better living standards and greater equity are far from being met.

The open panel discussion will look to address the concerns surrounding Egypt's real estate sector. For decades problems have surrounded this sector, and affordable housing has been the main concerns for millions of young Egyptians. Many agree that

a new approach to our real-estate and housing problems has to be taken. More than 90% of Egypt’s land area remains unused, which leave room for innovative approaches to housing. Experts on this panel will help shed light on new ideas, strategies, approaches and plans which can revolutionize

the real estate sector in Egypt.

Mr. Hervé Majidier Country Director Middle East, Carrefour

Mr. Mohamed Bahaa Vice President Strategic Alliances DMA Farms



Open panel discussion regarding Egypt’s

food and water resources, and the way we

manage them. From its early history, Egypt

was known for its abundant agricultural

output. Regretfully, a lack of infrastructure,

obsolete farming techniques, escalating

water concerns, and outbreaks of disease

amongst livestock have left the sector in

dire condition and in desperate need of

reform. The panel will look to address some

of the root causes of the problems such as

Egypt’s irrigation system, the recent

challenges to its majority share of Nile

waters, and initiatives to reduce the

growing food prices on basic commodities.

Start: 1:30pm – End: 2:30pm Panel 4 –Day 2 Balancing national Energy needs: Managing Conventional and Alternative Resources Mr. Amr Khafagy (Moderator) Journalist and TV Anchor Mr. Magdy Saleh Chairman & Managing Director TAQA

Mr. Ali Abo Sena Deputy Director & Project Manager ENCPC

Mr. Marcel Seyppel Key Expert MED ENEC Dr. Mohamed Salah El Sobki

Energy Research Center




Egypt’s economic development and its growing

population are causing an increasing demand in

electricity, gas, and fuel. This increase is causing

Egypt to look for alternative energy resources.

Blackouts and energy instability have caused

anger and dissatisfaction among citizens.

Coupled with the growing budget deficit, rising

energy consumption has led to an overwhelming

consensus that Egypt can no longer afford its

subsidy system. Egypt’s Energy Sector is in

desperate need for change and the future of

Egypt’s economy will surely be determined by the

manner in which we revitalize this sector.
