The Politics of Investment and Growth in Egypt : Experimenting with a New Approach

---

‘Improve the investment climate!’ is the dominant advice for governments wishing to achieve substantial increases in productive private investment. However, national-level investment-climate approaches have been criticised for not paying adequate attention to context and feasibility. This article experiments with a new approach which focuses on sectors and on relationships between policy-makers and investors, and shows how their common interest helped to overcome obstacles to investment and growth in Egypt. Such public-private relationships can be abused but they have provided effective transitional arrangements for enhancing investment and inducing a new growth dynamic.
