The event will be organized in four sessions which sees participants discuss several issues. The first session, “New Cities – Various Opportunities” discusses ways to utilize thriving real estate activity in order to promote the industry, especially in the new city projects.
In the second session, discussions will focus on procedures on offering new land plots and comprehensive debates over the non-competitive direct allocation of construction land by the New Urban Communities Authority – a scheme that the Ministry of Housing has endorsed after years of partnership arrangements.
The conference also continues to undertake discussions first launched several years ago over measures taken to implement the “Real Estate Exporting Strategy”.
Participants will investigate the strategy’s achievements so far and the necessary steps that could push it forward onto the right direction, both in the short and long term. This, of course, requires an accurate definition and recognition of the outstanding challenges, which will be the subject for the third session.
Al-Mal GTM has arranged a separate final session for debates over mechanisms to stimulate mortgage finance in Egypt to bear fruit. This comes in view of the indispensable role of this activity in driving up demand for property among various social groups, which requires the development of a clear vision on how to remove obstacles to its growth.
Al-Mal GTM, sister company of the Al-Mal Newspaper, is the most powerful and active national organizer of conferences and maker of ideas. The most prominent of its events include the CEOs Thoughts and Portfolio Egypt conferences.
