Cairo property market to draw $120bn from Mideast investors
The Middle East sovereign wealth funds have plans to inject up to $120 billion into Egypt, thus indicating their strong confidence in the country's market growth, according to a report by global real estate consultancy Knight Frank.
This comes as a revitalized global interest in Africa has emerged, underscored by significant investment commitments from major players. Over the past decade, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have been key investors in African nations, with the UAE leading at $59.4 billion in investments.
The report spotlights Egypt’s real estate market, particularly Cairo, as an outstanding prospect for investment. The vibrant city of Cairo alone is home to over 20 million people, making it a bustling metropolis.
