EGYPT - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Occupying the northeast corner of the African continent,
Egypt is bisected by the highly fertile Nile valley, where most economic
activity takes place. Egypt's economy was highly centralized during the rule of
former President Gamal Abdel NASSER but opened up considerably under former
Presidents Anwar EL-SADAT and Mohamed Hosni MUBARAK. Cairo from 2004 to 2008
aggressively pursued economic reforms to attract foreign investment and
facilitate GDP growth. Despite the relatively high levels of economic growth in
recent years, living conditions for the average Egyptian remained poor and
contributed to public discontent. After unrest erupted in January 2011, the
Egyptian Government backtracked on economic reforms, drastically increasing
social spending to address public dissatisfaction, but political uncertainty at
the same time caused economic growth to slow significantly, reducing the
government's revenues. Tourism, manufacturing, and construction were among the
hardest hit sectors of the Egyptian economy, and economic growth is likely to
remain slow during the next several years. The government drew down foreign
exchange reserves by more than 50% in 2011 and 2012 to support the Egyptian
pound and the dearth of foreign financial assistance - as a result of
unsuccessful negotiations with the International Monetary Fund over a
multi-billion dollar loan agreement which have dragged on more than 20 months -
could precipitate fiscal and balance of payments crises in 2013

Upon investigation local sources were unable to locate a company called
“Rocket Logistics” in Egypt. They also consulted local business directories and
journals, as well as the local telephone operator however there was no mention
of the subject of your enquiry.
Enquiries made with the local Chamber of Commerce also proved
unsuccessful as they had no listing under the name of “Rocket Logistics”. The
mobile number 20-122 2108611 was answered by a Mr Ahmed Ali who was not prepared
to divulge any information. The above landline number was tried but remained
unanswered.
Should you be able to provide us with any further information on the
subject of your enquiry we shall re-investigate and endeavour to send you a
full report as soon as possible.
