Following the amendments executed recently in the Investment Law and the Companies' Law, which have had a positive impact in terms of reassuring investors and attracting more investment to the Egyptian market, the Egyptian government has formed a new committee to help quickly settle investment disputes before reaching the courts. 

As part of its former efforts to simplify the investment process and avoid potential disputes, the Egyptian government formed a ministerial committee to settle disputes related to investment contracts. However, this committee lacked sufficient legal powers to make effective decisions for the amicable settlement of such disputes. This has led to the issuing of a new decree to restructure the committee and provide it with more effective powers.
