Egypt Secures Record $35 Billion UAE Investment for Mediterranean Development

Egypt has signed a $35 billion deal with the United Arab Emirates to develop the Ras El Hekma peninsula on its Mediterranean coast, with potential investments reaching $150 billion. The investment, led by the UAE's ADQ, aims to boost Egypt's struggling economy, which has been facing chronic foreign currency shortages and economic pressures linked to the war in Gaza. The deal is expected to bring significant liquidity to cover Egypt's financing gap over the next four years and could provide a much-needed boost to the country's economy.
