SCZone, EBRD to sign 2nd phase of digitizing investors services by end of Feb.

Waleid Gamal El-Dien, chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) met on Tuesday with Khaled Hamza, Director Head of Egypt at “EBRD”, Bojana Reiner, Senior Governance Advisor North Africa & Middle East at EBRD, and several bank representatives. 

The meeting was held to prepare for the second phase of cooperation between the SCZone and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development about the full digitization and re-engineering within ports and investors' services.

“We aspire for the 2nd phase of cooperation, especially after the completion of the first phase and the achievement of its objectives. This cooperation is necessary to provide technical support and to improve the quality of services by raising the efficiency of human cadres. We also aspire to work on automating all services to simplify procedures and start work on re-engineering and full digitization in ports as well,” Gamal El-Dien declared.

“I appreciate the progress that is being achieved through cooperation with EBRD and SCZONE, where the first phase witnessed the re-engineering and development of the priority services bundle. It paved the way for re-engineering and full digitizing for investor services, which supports moving forward towards the requirements of the second phase of cooperation and preparing for signing the final contracts related to the 2nd phase,” Hamza stated.
