At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Elmreisa Free Zone (EFZ), headed by the Minister of Economy and the membership of the Undersecretaries of the Ministry of Finance and Transport, the Chairman of the Privatization and Investment Board and the Central Bank, the EFZ’s activity report was approved, and its latest regulations were referred to the Cabinet.

The proposal to finance EFZ’s dry port at the Ganfouda storage area was also approved, which will operate working urgently at the port of Jiliana port until the completion of the main port at the EFZ.

Finally, a proposal was also adopted to support a free zone in Kufra and the transit trade route Benghazi-Kufra-Africa.
