11873_02 Study D2: Poverty, Informal Sector, Health and Labour versus the US$ fell from LE 4.62/ US$ to LE 6.2/US$ in September 2003. A 35% drop in the value of the LE resulted in an increase in the CPI, which started to rise from 2% in April 2002 to 4.7% in April 2003 1 . - Investment: The government has taken various steps to ensure that the investment climate is as favorable as possible. The most important step to date is the Investment Law of 1997, which codifies and clarifies all provisions pertaining to investment in the country. The investment law of 1997 allows foreign companies to have 100% ownership of Egyptian companies and provides for the repatriation of dividends. Another important feature of this law is the fact that it identifies 16 fields that benefit from investment incentives outlined in the law. - Trade: Historically, despite the volatility of the region in which Egypt is situated, trade has continued successfully. Egypt’s main trading partners are the US, Italy, France, Greece, Germany, Britain and Japan. Major categories of goods imported are wheat, meat, flour, machinery and automobiles. Major categories of goods exported are petroleum, oil, gas, cotton and cotton textiles, metal products, chemicals (CBE, 2002). The share of exports of goods & services to GDP in current prices has declined from 29.5% in 1995 to 17.5% in 2001 (CBE, 2002). However, exports represented 45 percent of imports in 2002 compared to 32.7 percent in 1996. Egypt is a member of several trade blocs (see Appendix). - Currency: Egyptian Pound (£E) consists of 100 piasters 2. 1.3.
