CBE Governor: Grand Egyptian Museum Embodies Vision for Comprehensive, Sustainable Development

Hassan Abdalla, Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt, participated in the inauguration ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum on Saturday.

Abdalla hailed the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum as a “moment of pride for every Egyptian” and a defining milestone in the country’s modern history.

Abdalla said the monumental project showcases Egypt’s strength, vision, and capacity to unite ancient heritage with future ambitions, reflecting the nation’s comprehensive approach to construction, development, and sustainability.

“The inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum stands as a testament to Egypt’s enduring greatness, a blend of historical depth and forward-looking determination,” Abdalla said, describing the museum as a symbol of Egypt’s cultural leadership and economic resilience.

The Central Bank governor extended congratulations to the Egyptian people on the occasion of the museum’s long-awaited opening, calling it a civilizational and cultural landmark that embodies the glory and continuity of Egypt’s history.

He emphasized that the achievement reflects President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s national vision, which links cultural revival with economic and developmental transformation.

Abdalla reaffirmed the Central Bank’s commitment, along with Egypt’s wider banking system, to supporting the country’s comprehensive development agenda, ensuring that financial institutions remain active partners in building a sustainable and inclusive future.

“The Central Bank and Egypt’s banking sector will continue to stand behind the state’s efforts to achieve a future worthy of Egypt’s greatness and its timeless civilization,” he added.

The Grand Egyptian Museum, now among the world’s largest and most advanced cultural institutions, not only celebrates Egypt’s ancient legacy but also signals its determination to position culture, innovation, and sustainable development at the heart of its national identity.
