Production Transformation Policy Reviews (PTPRs) are an OECD policy assessment and guidance tool that supports policy makers in the creation and implementation of better strategies for transforming their economies. They benefit from international peer dialogue and discussions under the aegis of the OECD Initiative for Policy Dialogue on Global Value Chains, Production Transformation and Development. The PTPRs are enriching the OECD Development Pathways Series with their perspective on economic transformation and governance for change.
This PTPR of Egypt: Spotlight on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and Industrialisation was carried out at the request of the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) of Egypt and was implemented with the financial contribution of the African Import-Export Bank (Afreximbank). It benefited from co-operation from Afreximbank and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). It builds on and enriches the Production Transformation Policy Review of Egypt: Embracing Change, Achieving Prosperity, carried out in co-operation with ECA, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
