Abstract
This report is part of an ongoing study
of the measurement of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the
information and communication technology (ICT) sector of
Egypt's economy. This report forms part of the second
amendment to a reimbursable technical assistance (RTA)
program delivered by the Global Information and
Communication Technology (GICT) department of the World Bank
to the Information Centre of the Ministry of Communication
and Information Technology (MCIT-IC) of the government of
Egypt. This report outlines the results of a several
visits to the region, a survey conducted, and methods of
data collection. The objectives were: to analyze the new
results of the FDI questionnaire and make recommendations to
refine the methodology and sampling framework; to generate
an estimate of the true level of FDI in Egypt's ICT
sector, and to continue work towards establishing an ongoing
process for the regular data collection and reporting of FDI
data by providing training and relevant tools, in
collaboration with relevant ministries and other institutions.
