Cairo hosts the APM Economic Forum, a strategic event aimed at strengthening economic partnerships and regional development. This edition brings together key political and economic players to discuss contemporary regional issues and promote bilateral and multilateral collaboration.

The APM Economic Forum in Cairo

The Forum takes place on November 28 and 29 in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, a city that plays a central role in African diplomacy and economics. The event brings together government representatives, business leaders, and experts, all gathered to foster economic exchange and develop common strategies for sustainable growth in the region. The forum highlights Egypt’s economic potential, as the second-largest economy in Africa, and its role as a key business hub in the region.

Economic and Diplomatic Importance for Egypt

Egypt, which is projected to achieve sustained economic growth of 4.4% in 2024-2025, is using this forum to strengthen its international partnerships and promote transformative economic projects, particularly in priority sectors such as industry, infrastructure, and digitalization. The country also seeks to diversify its economic alliances within a complex geopolitical context by reinforcing its relationships with partners such as China, Turkey, and other African nations.

Objectives and Prospects of the Forum

This forum is part of a post-pandemic economic recovery strategy where regional cooperation is essential to stimulate investment and strengthen economic resilience. It also provides a platform for discussing global challenges such as security and regional stabilization, which directly impact the business environment. Expected outcomes include trade agreements, joint investment initiatives, and a deepening of bilateral economic relations.

Thus, the APM Economic Forum in Cairo serves as a key platform for strengthening economic ties in Africa and the Middle East, supporting Egypt in its role as a regional economic driver and facilitator of international cooperation.
