(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt) Minister of Industry and Trade Tarek Kabil held a meeting with Adosh Sharma, the regional manager of IKEA in Egypt, to discuss the company's current projects and plans for expansion in the Egyptian market.

According to Kabil, IKEA considers injecting new investments in Egypt in the cities of Cairo and Alexandria as part of their expansion plans in the Egyptian market. He explained that the improvement of economic indicators is a key factor in the company's decision to expand as well as economic reforms that were implemented by the authorities, which contributed to improving the business climate in Egypt.
