G8 Deauville Partnership Regional
Investment Conferences in Tunisia and Egypt
In collaboration with the Egyptian & Tunisian authori-
ties and with members of the G8- Deauville Partner-
ship, the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) Group or-
ganized successfully 2 investment conferences (in
Cairo on Tuesday 25th of June 2013) and (in Tunis on
Friday 14th of June 2013).
The conferences, which were organized under the
G8 Deauville Partnership, have been attended by a
number of ministers, IFI representatives, heads of
corporations and economic institutions and a num-
ber of investment companies from the region in addi-
tion to representatives from the Deauville Partnership
and the EU.
The IDB Group, within its current capacity as the host
of the Secretariat for the G8 Deauville Partnership IFI
Coordination Platform, to help Arab transitions coun-
tries build an enabling investment environment that
would be conducive for attracting more foreign direct
investment inflows.
The ultimate objective of building such enabling in-
vestment environment in the Arab transition coun-
tries is to provide more confidence to local and for-
eign investors and provide better market access to
these countries. The renewed investment and avail-
ing of available investment opportunities will support
the economic and social development and will create
more job opportunities, particularly for the youth.
The investment conferences in Egypt and Tunisia are
also meant to provide the opportunity for these two
countries to prepare for an active and convincing
participation in the major investment conference in
London which was held on 16 September, 2013. This
conference was organized by the United Kingdom in
its capacity as the current G8 Deauville Partnership
Presidency in cooperation with IDB Group & EBRD.
