BEBA says 2026 London mission met objectives, strengthens UK-Egypt ties
The British Egyptian Business Association (BEBA) 2026 London mission, held on 3-5 June, achieved its objective of strengthening confidence among British institutions and companies in the Egyptian economy, its Vice Chairman Maged El Menshawy said on Tuesday.
Under the theme “Egypt Forward: Investment Opportunities & Sustainable Economic Reform,” the mission marked an important step in economic cooperation between Egypt and the United Kingdom, with discussions between a high-level Egyptian delegation and major British investment and advisory institutions reflecting growing interest in Egypt amid ongoing economic reforms.
El Menshawy said the participation of British institutions and companies demonstrated strong engagement with investment opportunities in Egypt, adding that messages delivered by representatives from both the public and private sectors were clearly communicated to financial decision-makers in the United Kingdom.
He attributed the mission’s success to coordinated institutional efforts led by BEBA and its strategic partners, supported by preparations aligned with priorities shared by both sides.
The mission included presentations on investment-ready projects, including new cities, digital infrastructure, and green finance initiatives, providing British investors with a clearer view of available opportunities and expected returns, El Menshawy said.
He added that BEBA would continue working to translate the mission’s outcomes into tangible agreements and projects, describing the London 2026 mission as a new benchmark for bilateral economic dialogue platforms.
The conference was attended by a high-level Egyptian delegation, including Ministers Ahmed Kouchouk, Mohamed Farid, Randa El Menshawy, and Ramy Aboul Naga.
The event also brought together leading British financial and advisory institutions, including PwC and HSBC, as well as investors, business leaders, and economic experts from both countries.
Sessions focused on economic reform, digital transformation, sustainable urban development, infrastructure, and green finance as part of efforts to promote investment opportunities in Egypt and highlight the national reform programme.
