The investments, she said, are concentrated in information technology, communication, agricultural services, manufacturing, petrochemicals, engineering and car industries, among others.
The minister made her statements on the sidelines of the activities of the Egyptian-German business forum, organized by the German-Arab Chamber Of Industry and Commerce and attended by Trade Minister Amr Nassar, Minister of Petroleum Tariq El Molla and German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier.
