Kadri pointed that the state witnessed in addition to the New Administrative Capital, the implementation of many urban cities that are not less important than the capital, and now reached 39 cities throughout the republic, in addition to the implementation of many projects, concentrating on the infrastructure sectors, praising the state’s efforts to complete implementing these projects, which supports the development and growth of the real estate sector as one of the most important economic sectors that contribute significantly to the state’s national income.

He also praised the state’s recent decisions and measures to facilitate the work of real estate developers, whether by the Capital Company, or the Urban Communities Authority, or the state agencies concerned with the real estate sector, whether by granting additional implementation deadlines or seeking to find different solutions and discussing all problems with real estate developers, which indicates the development of the management system in Egypt, and the real estate sector, which benefits directly and indirectly all companies operating in the sector because it gives more confidence and reassurance to developers and clients alike, and thus has a positive and direct impact on the whole sector.

Kadri said that the state’s intention now to study the establishment of a real estate stock market and real estate funds is a very important issue which contributes to the growth and recovery of the sector and increase the local and foreign investments rates, noting that the real estate funds was not sufficiently activated in the sector, but it is considered one of the most important investment tools used in the world, due to its importance in supporting the sector positively, it also allows small investors who wish to invest in real estate to be present within this activity with small amounts, by purchasing units or purchasing shares through the stock exchange market and real estate funds, pointing that the primary goal of establishing real estate funds is achieving profits, whether for the state, the developer, or the client contributing to the real estate fund, assuring that Egypt is one of the countries that will achieve great success from establishing real estate funds due to several positive factors enjoyed by the Egyptian market, which are the high demand rates for real estate units as a result of residential density and the constant need for the presence of real estate products of all kinds, but unfortunately, we lack the technological readiness, activation of the real estate digitization system, and pass the law of the unified national real estate number, in order to be able to attract foreign investors and support the real estate export file.
