| Overview |
| U.S. export opportunities to Egypt’s environmental equipment and services market are substantial and cut across the spectrum of environment-related activities and needs. The Egyptian Government anticipates spending more than $2.6 billion to implement its environmental plan through the year 2007, in addition to $1.3 billion spent by the private sector annually. This increase is mainly due to increased compliance with environmental legislation, as well as BOT environmental projects, mainly in the field of water and wastewater management, solid waste management, renewable energy, and air pollution. Egypt suffers from a number of serious environmental problems, including air pollution, water quality, land management, waste, and preservation of biological diversity. The U.S. share of Egypt’s environmental market is estimated at approximately 40%. |
