埃及:与世界银行签署10亿美元第二阶段改革融资协议

埃及与世界银行11月1日签署10亿美元融资协议,用于发展政策融资(DPF)计划的第二阶段,以支持结构性改革、改善商业环境、强化公共财政并推动私营部门主导的经济增长。协议由埃及外交部长 Badr Abdelatty(同时任埃及在世界银行的理事)与世界银行区域主任 Alwaleed Alatabani 签署,总理 Mostafa Madbouly 出席了签字仪式,规划与经济发展部长 Ahmed Rostom 与财政部副部长 Yasser Sobhi 亦在场。
这项名为「建设韧性、创造机会、增进财富,促进埃及的繁荣与稳定」的计划,意在提高埃及经济抵御外部冲击的能力、增强竞争力,并推进向绿色经济转型。世界银行执行董事会已于今年5月批准这笔10亿美元融资;此次签署使三期发展政策融资中的第二期正式落地,资金以优惠条件提供,并与世行2023至2027年埃及国别伙伴框架保持一致,整体融资结构中还包括英国提供的2亿美元信用担保。
第二阶段的改革重点涵盖国有企业治理、私人投资、竞争、公共收入动员与政府借贷成本。计划还包括社会保护措施,例如扩大 Takaful 与 Karama 现金转移计划的受益人数,以在改革过程中保护脆弱家庭;环境与能源方面则包括完善温室气体排放监测、发展碳信用市场,并加强电力与水务部门的财务可持续性。
发展政策融资支持的是与商定政策行动挂钩的政府政策与制度改革,而非针对单一行业的项目投资。世行在5月的批准声明中表示,整个融资行动的目标是支持私营部门创造就业、宏观经济与财政稳定以及更绿色的经济。
Egypt: $1 Billion World Bank Financing Agreement Signed for Second Phase of Reform Programme
Egypt signed a $1 billion financing agreement with the World Bank on November 1 for the second phase of its Development Policy Financing (DPF) programme, formalising support for structural reforms aimed at improving the business environment, strengthening public finances and encouraging private sector-led economic growth. The agreement was signed by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, who also serves as Egypt's governor at the World Bank, and World Bank Division Director Alwaleed Alatabani. Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly attended the signing ceremony alongside Planning and Economic Development Minister Ahmed Rostom and Deputy Finance Minister Yasser Sobhi.
The programme, titled Building Resilience, Creating Opportunities and Enhancing Wealth for Egypt's Prosperity and Stability, seeks to enhance the competitiveness of the Egyptian economy, strengthen its capacity to withstand external economic shocks and accelerate the transition towards a green economy. The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors approved the $1 billion financing in May 2026; the signing formalises the second operation in a series of three Development Policy Financing packages provided on concessional terms, aligned with the World Bank's 2023-2027 Country Partnership Framework for Egypt. The package also included a $200 million credit guarantee from the United Kingdom within the overall financing structure.
The second phase focuses on reforms covering state-owned enterprise governance, private investment, competition, public revenue mobilisation and government borrowing costs. The programme includes social protection measures, such as expanding the number of beneficiaries under the Takaful and Karama cash-transfer programmes, to safeguard vulnerable households during the reform process. Environmental and energy measures include improving greenhouse gas emissions monitoring, developing carbon credit markets, and strengthening the financial sustainability of the electricity and water sectors.
Development Policy Financing supports government policy and institutional reforms through funding linked to agreed policy actions, rather than project-specific investment in a single industry. The World Bank said in its May approval announcement that the wider financing operation was intended to support private sector-led job creation, macroeconomic and fiscal stability, and a greener economy.
