The revisions include redefining the scope of application of the document in accordance with Law No. 170 of 2025, which encompasses all assets and companies owned or directly or indirectly contributed to by the state, while establishing regulated legal exceptions.

The document aims to enhance the state’s role as a market regulator, strategic owner, provider of public services, and corrector of market failures. Additionally, it seeks to create a new institutional framework through a unit for state-owned enterprises under the supervision of the Cabinet to manage and implement this policy.

Features also include developing an offering program based on clear criteria, restructuring state ownership of assets on sectoral and institutional foundations, reinforcing the role of the Sovereign Fund of Egypt, integrating corporate governance according to international standards, and expanding economic authority reforms.

The document further emphasizes supporting the business environment through tax, customs, and digital reforms, alongside establishing a comprehensive system for measuring impact and monitoring policy implementation to enhance economic efficiency and increase private sector participation.
