Volkswagen AG is considering producing cars in Egypt, part of plans to tap new African markets as it grapples with weaker demand at home.

“We are very interested in Egypt as a production hub and hopefully we can announce a business case anytime soon,” Volkswagen Group Africa’s managing director, Martina Biene, said in an interview.
