Yosef Boutros Ghali, the former Egyptian Minister of Finance, told Al-Sharq Bloomberg: I am proposing legislation that prohibits the export of metals and raw materials that are not produced in Egypt for a period of up to 5 years. The ban on the export of raw materials is intended to impose real added value through local production. China has built its economic power by protecting national industry and requiring technology transfer and local partnership. The statements came on the sidelines of the International Entrepreneurship Festival in Cairo today.
