Egypt’s Ministry of Finance published remarks by Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk describing work to integrate climate objectives into economic planning, fiscal policy and investment priorities. Speaking at the “Seizing the opportunities of the green transition” session at a climate conference in Turkey, he outlined efforts to translate those objectives into implementable programs and investment opportunities while maintaining fiscal sustainability.
Climate priorities are being incorporated into financing and spending strategies and investment ceilings, alongside efforts to mobilize private investment. Programs for green projects in energy, water and food involve private sector participation.
