The financial support package, reported in March by EU President Ursula von der Leyen, includes €5 billion in macro-financial assistance, €1.8 billion in investments, and €600 million in grants. This funding backs trade, renewable energy, culture, education, and other endeavours aimed at driving Egypt’s economic and social growth.
