After a calm year for securitization, are we starting to see the start of an end-of-year rush to the debt markets? December last year saw EGP 18.6 bn worth of securitized bonds issued in only one month, accounting for 19.3% of the EGP 96.0 bn worth of securitized bonds issued throughout the whole of the year, according to our math — but we will have to wait and see if something similar will happen this year.
TAMWEEL ISSUES ITS FIRST SECURITIZED BONDS OF THE YEAR-
Tamweel secures EGP 1.8 bn in securitization issuance: Tamweel Mortgage Finance has closed an EGP 1.8 bn securitized bond issuance, according to a statement (pdf) from CI Capital. The issuance — which is backed by a receivables portfolio of around EGP 3.3 bn according to Al Borsa — is the first in a new EGP 5 bn program, which will be parent company Tamweel Holding’s second multi-issuance securitization program.
The details: The issuance was divided into five tranches, with tenors ranging from 24-75 months and ratings of AA+, AA, AA-, A, and A- ratings from Middle East Rating and Investors Service (MERIS).
The issuance got plenty of traction: The new issuance received a subscription coverage more than double the value of the issuance, Tamweel Holding Managing Director Mohamed El Kahky told Al Borsa.
The buyers: CIB, the National Bank of Egypt, Banque du Caire, and the Arab African International Bank acted as the issuances underwriters. The banks also subscribed to the issuance along with SAIB Bank.
Advisors: CIB, Al Ahly Pharos, and CI Capital arranged, managed and promoted the issuance. CIB served as the custodian, Banque du Caire was the subscription agent, Dreny & Partners provided legal counsel, and Baker Tilly served as the auditor.
AT LEASE CLOSES ITS FIFTH SECURITIZATION ISSUANCE-
Islamic leasing outfit AT Lease has successfully closed a EGP 1.5 bn securitized bond issuance, it said in a statement (pdf) Monday. The company’s fifth-ever issuance is secured by a portfolio of future financial receivables from leasing contracts assigned by the firm. AT Lease aims to utilize the proceeds from the issuance to “strengthen the company’s financial position, maximize profitability and returns on equity, and support future growth plans,” the company said.
The details:The issuance was divided into three tranches, with tenors ranging from 25-48 months and ratings of AA+, AA, and A from Meris.
The buyers: CIB, NBE, Banque du Caire, and AAIB acted as the issuance’s underwriters along with Al Ahly Pharos. CIB, the National Bank of Egypt, the Arab African International Bank (AAIB), Banque du Caire, and EBank were among those who subscribed to the issuance.

DATA POINT- The two transactions bring the total value of securitized bonds issued in Egypt this year to more than EGP 32.9 bn, 45.7% less than that was raised in the same period in 2023, according to data tracked by EnterpriseAM.
