  Summary of your project	The financial crisis of 2008 has caused enormous losses in reputation for investors. Plus, the post-Enron period and international financial crisis were the main points to start thinking about socially responsible investments, because they served to regain investors' confidence in the stock market. This type of investment can be defined as the incorporation of environmental, social, and governance aspects during the investment decision-making process. Egypt, through its 2030 vision and recent issuance of sovereign green bonds, has demonstrated a commitment to sustainability and economic resilience. This project aims to develop an ESG policy framework in partnership with the Ministry of Finance of Egypt, ensuring transparent, socially responsible, and sustainable financial governance. This research and report development will follow a structured timeline, with key milestones including data collection (February-March), initial drafting (April-May), interim report submission (June 30), refinement and deeper analysis (July-August), and final report submission (August 31).
