Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said on Saturday, October 24, 2026, that Egypt Forum 2026 aimed to review the country’s development over the past 12 years and establish priorities for the next three years, amid longstanding economic, security and infrastructure challenges.
He said the government would publish agreed plans and implementation measures for the next three years through the forum’s online platform, allowing citizens to follow progress. Addressing young attendees, Madbouly said many had been children during the incidents of 2011 and might not fully recall the conditions Egypt faced at the time.
A documentary screened at the event highlighted the country’s political, security and economic circumstances during that period. Madbouly said President Sisi assumed responsibility under exceptionally difficult conditions, stressing that the state could not afford to delay major projects given mounting challenges.
He cited militant attacks, assassinations, prolonged protests and deteriorating public security, alongside population growth and the concentration of residents in just 7% of Egypt’s territory, which placed mounting pressure on roads, schools, hospitals, electricity networks and sanitation services.
