Introduction

Given Egypt's current political and economic situation, public-private partnership projects are
effective in helping the government improve its infrastructure, utilities, and services while
leveraging the technical skills and capabilities of private partners. looks like a viable solution.
Public-private partnerships are used all over the world but are especially important in
developing countries looking to improve projects quickly and effectively. Therefore, public-
private partnerships are being rolled out in Egypt, with several projects being considered for
future implementation. The two most important success factors for PPP projects are proper risk
allocation and proper contracting. This ensures that risks are adequately covered and assigned
to the party that best manages them.
Conclusion

Egypt has suffered from chronic budget deficits since the 1950s. The deficit reached 11.5% in
the 2015-2016 fiscal year. The Egyptian government is taking first steps towards economic
reforms due to huge budget deficits dictating creative solutions to fund public projects. In this
regard, the Egyptian government has cut fuel subsidy spending twice so far, and floated its
currency as one of the solutions. However, a Public Private Partnership (PPP) can also be an
effective solution for project financing. This paper provides a brief overview of her PPP in Egypt
and its development to date, gathered through a literature review and semi-structured
interviews. It also provides an at-a-glance view of past and current PPP projects in Egypt. His
first wave of PPP projects in Egypt faced significant problems, resulting in visible losses,
arbitration, switching to traditional project delivery methods, and abandonment. Governments
have announced and approved these PPP projects without proper legal frameworks,
comprehensive planning, adequate research, and/or full knowledge of government officials.
Therefore, this paper briefly presents the failures and successes of various of his PPP projects in
Egypt. However, in 2006, the Egyptian government established the Public-Private Partnership
Central Unit (PPPCU) and enacted the PPP law and its implementing regulations in 2010 and
2011, respectively, to increase the chances of success for this type of project. . These serious
measures were undermined by more than three years of political unrest, which had a
significant negative impact on Egypt's PPP environment. The government needs to approach
her PPP with a comprehensive perspective and more professionalism to avoid previous failure
factors. It's too early to assess the government's move towards economic reforms, but PPPs
seem to be in a better place going forward.
