Analysis of FDI in Egypt for the period 2003-2016

Abstract

FDI has received increasing attention from countries around the world in their various economic systems. Countries have been competing to attract more foreign direct investment as a means of financing economic and social development. They have passed laws and implemented reforms because of their impact on the international financing process other financing, such as loans and aid.

            The objective of the research is to clarify the reality of foreign direct investment in Egypt and whether the political unrest has either negative or positive affected the inflows to it.  The research has reached a package of perhaps the most important conclusions that the Arab spring rebellions and the accompanying instability in the security and political situation and the impact of production and closed institutions had a negative impact on FDI flows, which led to a decline in investment flows coming to Egypt.
