Egyptian economic and regulatory reforms

Overview

Egypt has introduced new regulatory frameworks across different economic sectors to modernize its domestic industry and attract investment.

In the labor sector, Minister of Labor Hassan Raddad launched general rules for work organization within private companies as an executive decision for Labor Law No. 14 of 2025. These regulations aim to balance worker rights with employer interests by protecting wages, prohibiting discrimination, and banning practices such as the seizure of passports or forced labor. The framework provides a standardized structure for establishments with 10 or more employees while allowing for company-specific tailoring.

Simultaneously, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi announced reforms to the mining sector. These measures include an ‘open sector’ system for year-round investment applications, a ‘one-stop shop’ to reduce bureaucracy, and a new exploitation model based on international royalty and tax standards. These reforms are intended to modernize the legislative framework and attract global interest, particularly from gold exploration companies.
