FromJan 02, 2013 To Jan 02, 2013

CAIRO, EGYPT

In January 2013 ERF hosted a seminar to help define some of Egypt’s pressing economic challenges and discuss  possible solutions. The seminar was part of the fourth round of the “National Dialogue for Economic Development,”  launched by Hesham Kandil, former Prime Minister of Egypt. The National Dialogue was an initiative designed to  sound out the opinions of various stakeholders on the problems faced by the Egyptian economy. The seminar  attracted a large and diverse crowd: government officials, economists and experts who were representatives of various ideologies and economic sectors. It also included members of the media, public figures and civil society  representatives. The parties involved in the initiative then submitted their recommendations to the government.
