These included the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), and the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), as well as meetings with financial institutions and project sponsors backing regional integration initiatives across Africa.
The discussions centred on enabling Egyptian firms to participate in project delivery by leveraging their competitiveness and experience in complex infrastructure development.
