In 2012, the Institute was reopened after extensive restoration. Works that had not been damaged in the fire were returned, as well as donated collections. The restored Institute is two levels. The first houses a reading area complete with computers, and the second level comprises lecture and seminar halls, meeting rooms, a lounge for high-profile guests, an event hall and a main hall which includes the library. The Institut Français d’Égypte or the French Institute in Egypt was established in 1967. It currently has four branches across Egypt, with three in Cairo (Mounira, Heliopolis and New Cairo) as well as one in Alexandria. A new branch in Sheikh Zayed in Greater Cairo is expected to open in 2020. According to its website, the Institute's mission is to "contribute to the influence of French culture, language and expertise in Egypt" and to improve relations between Egypt and France in the areas of education, linguistics, culture, science and technology. The Université Française d’Égypte (UFE), or the French University of Egypt, was established in Cairo in 2002. It offers courses in Arabic, English and French and encourages students to study overseas in France. The interim President Dr Taha Abdallah described the university as “a private scientific, cultural and professional establishment”. A €5.2 billion deal was signed by the Egyptian administration in 2015 for the purchase of fighter jets, missiles, and a frigate from France. In 2016, Egypt purchased military equipment including fighter jets, warships and a military satellite from France in a deal worth more than €1 billion. In 2017, trade between Egypt and France increased by 21.8%, totalling €2.5 billion after a 27.5% decrease in trade each year between 2006-2016 between the two countries. For the fiscal year 2016-2017, France was ranked as Egypt’s 11th largest trade partner. According to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, French companies have a significant role in the Egyptian economy, in industries such as pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, tourism and infrastructure. A free trade agreement between Egypt and France under the EU-Egypt Agreement has been in force since 2004. The agreement facilitates free trade through the removal of tariffs on industrial goods, and facilitates the trade of agricultural goods. French President Emmanuel Macron has faced criticism over his promotion of trade relations between the two countries, from the public as well as organisations like Amnesty International. This was in reference to a €5.2 billion deal signed in 2015, in which France sold fighter jets, missiles and a frigate to Egypt.
