THE WEEK IN REVIEW

MNT-Halan lines up blockbuster EGX debut

Good morning, friends, and happy weekend. This month’s Long View makes the case that memes are not, in fact, rotting our brains — and brings the research to back it up. Elsewhere in today’s issue: a book that documents Downtown Cairo’s people and places and the forces that quietly made and unmade them, a New Cairo restaurant where dinner comes with a live band and a dress code, and a Guardian podcast series on what happens when AI convinces people they’re geniuses. That and more.

But first, your weekly recap…

🗞️ LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

STARTUP WATCH-

The Egyptian arm of MNT-Halan lined up approval from the EGX for what looks set to be a blockbuster IPO that’s being closely watched by investors well beyond Cairo. Shares of MNT Tech Holding for Financial Investments will trade on the big board under the ticker HALN.CA. MNT-Halan has been on the road in recent months testing market appetite, making in-person and virtual stops in the Gulf, London, the US, and beyond. We expect the transaction to hit the market soon.

AND- Pan-African pre-seed fund Madica is expanding deeper into Egypt’s circular economy, backing recycling platform Bekia and used cooking oil aggregator Delta Oil with up to USD 200k each. The two startups are part of a five-company cohort spanning four African markets.

ALSO- Beltone Holding’s Beltone Venture Capital is closing three new investments worth around USD 1 mn in the next two to three months. The three local targets span fintech, proptech, and consumer finance — two at pre-seed and one at a more advanced operating stage. Beltone VC has closed five exits since it started and is redeploying proceeds into new startups.

TOURISM-

Mostakbal Misr is expanding into hotel investment and tourism development on the Red Sea, drawing on its own land bank alongside plots clawed back from stalled projects that had barely broken ground. The land will go to investors under a protocol the authority signed with the Tourism Development Authority in early August, with hotel investment, marina development, and infrastructure upgrades in Marsa Alam and Hurghada among the prospects on offer.

CAPITAL MARKETS-

The EGX’s first single-stock futures completed their first full lifecycle. September contracts expired at Wednesday’s close, with CIB settling at EGP 131.75 and TMG at EGP 95. This is the first time an equity-linked derivative ran the full course from listing to final settlement on the Egyptian exchange.

AND- The bourse has asked for a full income tax exemption on transferable-asset funds, aiming to revive investment funds through tax breaks and pull more capital into the market. The EGX is also pushing to expand the list of exempt fund types from the five currently defined under Article 50 of the Income Tax Law to 38 categories.

NBFIs-

Consumer finance and MSME providers must now report key financing events to the Egyptian Credit Bureau (I-Score) as they happen. The live feed triggers at financing approval and covers disbursement, each partial or full repayment, termination of the facility, the start of proceedings, and any subsequent change in status. Consumer finance companies must also keep sending their aggregate data to I-Score within five days of each month’s end.

DEBT-

The Finance Ministry is weighing a return to the international debt market between October and December, tapping foreign funding aimed at narrowing the financing gap. The cabinet approved measures under the ministry’s FY 2026/27 issuance plan, targeting some USD 3 bn of international bonds — a mix of conventional and “innovative” instruments, plus credit-backed panda bonds — to be executed as investor demand and market conditions allow.

REGULATION-

The National Authority for the Regulation of Advertising on Public Roads is tightening the rules: existing billboard licenses will only be renewed if boards meet new specifications on size, spacing, and location — benchmarked against road type and speed limits.

PHARMA-

The pharma industry is targeting around USD 1.6 bn in exports by the end of 2026, up from some USD 1.3 bn in 2025. This follows expansion into new markets and more competitive local products, with exports reaching USD 550 mn through May. The government wants USD 3 bn by 2030. The domestic market is growing at a c. 15% CAGR — nearly double the global average — while exports increased by around 20% y-o-y in 2025.

🌍 AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

This week’s headlines were dominated by an unexpected AI reckoning — tech’s most prominent CEOs publicly warned that rapid AI development poses existential risks, OpenAI shelved its IPO, and markets sold off sharply.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei kicked off the week with a blog post warning that current AI risks are too high to sustain rapid development — days after an Anthropic researcher publicly estimated a greater than 10% chance AI could destroy civilization. OpenAI’s Sam Altman cited safety concerns in shelving the company’s IPO — potentially a multi-tn-USD listing — for at least another year and hinted that top AI firms may soon announce a joint pact to slow development and address rising safety risks. Elon Musk echoed the concern.

Markets took note: The Nasdaq 100 dropped to a six-week low on Monday on a chip stock sell-off before paring losses to 0.4%, with Nvidia falling 3.4%. US President Donald Trump pushed back, dismissing the safety warnings and emphasizing the need to maintain Washington’s technological edge over Beijing.

IN POLITICS- Sweden’s general election ended in a near-deadlock, with early results showing the left-wing opposition holding a lead of just 20k votes over the right-wing governing coalition — setting up weeks of political uncertainty and coalition talks in the Nordic region’s largest economy.

ON THE REGIONAL WAR- The US has run up a USD 38 bn bill in its six-month conflict with Iran, according to the Congressional Budget Office — a figure expected to grow by USD 3 bn every month, with munitions replenishment projected to take five years.

The war’s inflationary toll helped push the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates for the first time since 2023 on Wednesday — a quarter-point rise to 3.75-4%, backed unanimously by the FOMC and opposed publicly by the White House within hours of the announcement. Headline CPI came in at 3.4% y-o-y in August, and the Fed’s own forecasts don’t see inflation returning to its 2% target until 2029.

IN THE BUSINESS PRESS- OpenAI is courting top investors for a capital raise that would value the company at USD 1.2 tn ahead of a public debut now penciled in for next year. And China’s financial system got a top-up: Beijing’s USD 54 bn capital injection into state banks and insurers — announced last week — cleared final regulatory approvals as persistently low interest rates continued to squeeze solvency ratios across the sector.

If you’ve been looking for a chance to practice some retail therapy, you might get one this weekend. Bazarna Pop-Up Society’s Premium Outlet is setting up shop at Downtown Katameya today, featuring products from over 150 local brands with slashed prices up to 70%.

THE LONG VIEW

Is our overuse of memes making us less socially intelligent?

📱 In recent years, something has changed about the way we talk to each other — or rather, the way we don’t. Hahas have turned into tears, “that sounds good” has turned into WhatsApp stickers of humanoid cats with distorted faces holding a thumbs-up, and good mornings have become a competition of who could send the kitschiest-fonted, dove-filled GIF with the words in barely legible, glittered cursive. Such is how we communicate online in 2026…

… And it’s seeping into how we communicate in person, too.

💡 The Long View is EnterpriseAM Weekend’s monthly space for the essay — a take on something worth sitting with. Not news, not a how-to. Just a question the week left behind.

The average human attention span online has dropped from two and a half minutes in 2004 to 47 seconds today, according to psychology professor Gloria Mark, whose research on digital attention has tracked the deterioration across two decades. We switch faster, process less, and retain less of what we read. Paragraphs become obstacles, and long texts subconsciously elicit the long meme-ified response of “I ain’t reading all that, I’m happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.”

What replaced the paragraph was the image: the meme, the WhatsApp sticker, the GIF, and the custom emojis. No words required — it’s all implicit now (or is it?). This has raised concerns globally about what that means to our own interpersonal relationships and offline communication skills. After all, we’re not walking around with cat WhatsApp stickers on A5 paper — though that might prove a lucrative endeavor.

This concern isn’t new, nor niche. In a 2024 peer-reviewed study published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, 453 participants across age groups were surveyed on their use of digital communication tools and their perceived effects on language and interpersonal connection. 64% reported that heavy use of internet slang and memes had reduced their formal writing ability over time. More troubling: 52% reported that face-to-face conversation had become harder after extended periods of primarily digital communication.

A generation that grew up expressing emotions through Rage Comics has developed a rich emotional vocabulary for digital space. Graphic designer and AUC adjunct professor Dina Shaaban, speaking to the AUC Caravan, put it plainly: “Most people don’t like to read, and now with the quick lifestyle that most of us lead, people don’t have the time or the patience to read.” The implication is that we have collectively optimized for brevity at the expense of depth, that what we have gained in speed we have lost in nuance, and that the shorthand of digital communication is making us worse at face-to-face life.

The concern, again, is valid, but it rests on the premise that memes are a simple form of communication. They’re not.

A 2023 cyberpragmatic analysis of WhatsApp stickers by researchers at Binus University in Indonesia examined 100 stickers drawn from real student conversations, categorizing them against a seven-type taxonomy of text-picture relationships. What the study found was that only 5% of stickers were purely visual — no text. The dominant category, at 37%, was “additive”: stickers where the image and the text each contribute meaning the other cannot carry alone. 10% fell into an even more demanding category — “interdependent” — where neither the image nor the text produces the meaning in isolation.

The meaning exists only in their combination, in the gap between what you see and what you read, decoded by a reader who knows the cultural context, the conversational register, and the emotional subtext that makes the joke land. That, if you ask us, seems pretty complex.

The point is sharpened by a 2024 Scopus-indexed study from Middle East University in Jordan, which conducted a linguistic and semiotic analysis of 60 Arabic and English memes drawn from Facebook and Instagram, applying Halliday’s socio-semiotic framework to their verbal and visual structures. The main finding was that memes operate through the textual cohesion devices of ellipsis, reference, conjunction, and repetition. That is to say, memes work by leaving things out, and they rely on the reader to supply all of it from shared cultural knowledge. To get the joke, you have to already know something. The meme tests whether you do.

A 2025 survey of Algerian youth proved this, in which 75 respondents, the entire pool, recognized all the memes presented to them. These memes were sourced from documentaries, reality shows, talk shows, obscure historical events, and more niche sources. The respondents hadn’t seen the original footage from which these memes were derived, but the recognition did not require that. What this proves is that memes and meme-based communication weren’t indicative of a lack of critical thinking or studied awareness but rather a different kind.

What worries scholars isn’t memes; it’s what they might be replacing. If you’re reaching for a crying chihuahua to express sadness — as we’ve all done at some point or another — you’re not actually writing out what you feel. Memes aren’t making us stupid; they’re just irrevocably changing the way we are human.

But with new change comes new tradition, a phenomenon dissected by Dazed Mena writer Yasmin Alrabiei earlier this year, in which she examined Arab “aunties and uncles’” animated WhatsApp greetings — noting that these glittery “kitsch” memes are anything but unserious, drawing from decades of earlier traditions. Memes aren’t limited to Gen Zers and Millennials — they’ve proven themselves vital across all generations. They have changed how we communicate, yes, both online and offline, but that change isn’t inherently negative.

At the Movies

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reunite for Practical Magic 2

📽🔮 28 years is a long time to wait for a sequel, but Practical Magic 2 arrives with one thing firmly intact: the magic. Based on Alice Hoffman’s The Book of Magic, the fourth and final novel in her Practical Magic series, the film reunites Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens — alongside Joey King and Maisie Williams — and leans hard into the whimsy that defined the original.

The plot: The Owens family curse is back, threatening another generation of witches and the men they love. When tragedy strikes, the family is pulled into a world of dark magic, sending Sally, Gillian, and Sally’s daughter Kylie (King) on a search all the way across the pond for a way to finally break the curse. The sequel expands the Owens mythology while keeping the emotional core firmly rooted in family, sisterhood, and the lengths we go to protect the people we love.

What we liked: Bullock and Kidman remain the heart of the story, with their chemistry doing much of the heavy lifting. King also brings plenty of energy as Kylie. While the film balances comedy with some surprisingly emotional moments, the final act in particular delivers genuine tearjerkers without abandoning the fun. There’s also something comforting about how unapologetically sentimental the movie is. It knows this is a story about family bonds, magic, and big feelings, and it’s not afraid to lean into any of them. Even the CGI, which could easily have gone very wrong, fits the film’s playful visual language.

What we didn’t like: Some of those big feelings, however, are spelled out a little too often, with the constant declarations feeling less heartfelt and more like the movie is making sure we understood the assignment. The romance also felt a tad rushed, with Sally’s love interest getting little development before the relationship takes off. Meanwhile, Williams’ Antonia is left with little to do, despite being positioned as part of the next generation of Owens witches.

The verdict: Practical Magic 2 isn’t here to cast a complicated new spell. It’s here to bring audiences back to a familiar, magical world — and, for the most part, it works. It’s cheesy, occasionally clunky, and sometimes far too eager to tell us how we should feel. But there’s genuine warmth underneath it all, and it successfully recaptures the charm of the original. That nostalgia may be spellbinding enough — it may not reinvent the cauldron, but it knows exactly what its audience came back for.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can catch the film at VOX Cinemas at City Center Almaza, Mall of Egypt, and City Center Alexandria. The film is also screening at Stars Cinema (City Stars), Scene Cinemas (Cairo Festival City and District 5), and Premiere Cinemas. Watch the trailer on YouTube (watch, runtime: 2:41).

From the Bookstore

A book about Downtown Cairo’s places, its street wanderers, and the economic forces that made them

📚 On a recent walk through Downtown Cairo, we stopped into El Shorouk bookstore at Talaat Harb Square, browsing the shelves in search of the next thing to read. A book caught our eye: Moktanayat West El Balad (Downtown Possessions) by the late Egyptian novelist and writer Mekkawi Said — its striking cover and relatively substantial size pulling us in. We flipped through it and found paintings by artist Amr El Kafrawy preceding chapters about the people and places that orbit Downtown Cairo.

What to expect: Through short stories, Said documents — in engaging literary prose and plain language — scattered tales of the people and places that shaped the identity and soul of the capital’s center across many decades. From stories of bohemian drifters and independent intellectuals to regulars at Café Riche and Al Bustan, and the neighborhood’s street wanderers, Said offers a close reading of these characters in a way that traces the social, economic, and structural changes that shaped different generations on the outside — generations that share more in common than they might think.

Through these personal stories, Said holds up a mirror that shows how the presence and lifestyles of these figures — in the streets, bars, and cafés of the area — reflected the social and economic upheavals that swept through the middle and lower classes. They read as the direct product of economic and cultural forces that produced a generation of the marginalized, who made Downtown their refuge and their space for self-expression and dreaming.

What we liked: Said documents how spaces of cultural debate became commercial and consumer entities and how shifts in consumption patterns have affected the visual and cultural identity of the area. In this book, walls and places stand as witnesses to the rise and fall of entire generations, recording change as it filters through the life of an individual.

We also appreciated the book’s visual language — paintings and chapter titles — alongside prose that stays simple and chapters that stay short, making it an easy and enjoyable read that moves the reader through many different worlds without unnecessary sprawl. Said also avoids overloading his descriptions with sentiment — he feels less like someone writing about his own experience and more like someone objectively documenting another life altogether, drawing on his visual memory and his deep personal history with Downtown and its regulars.

The verdict: This is a love letter driven by nostalgia for Downtown Cairo’s past — its streets and corridors thick with history, memory, and feeling. It’s an enjoyable read for anyone who knows and loves the neighborhood, and for those interested in the cultural and social shifts that have left their mark on the face of the city.

WHERE TO GET IT- Available in print in Arabic at El Shorouk and Diwan bookstores.

Hot and Fresh Out of the Kitchen

New Cairo’s The Brasserie turns dinner into a full night out

🍴 There are restaurants where you eat dinner, and there are restaurants where dinner comes with a whole production around it. The Brasserie is the latter — a New Cairo spot that treats an evening out as an occasion, with live music, polished interiors, and a dress code to match.

First impressions: We were seated immediately, with the choice of an indoor dining area or outdoor terrace. We opted for a table facing the band, which turned dinner into something of a live performance. The Brasserie typically has live entertainment throughout the week, with a band taking over in the evening before a DJ comes on later; weekends bring more commercial entertainment. The space is large, with dimmed lighting giving the room a more intimate feel. Service was another high point — the waiters were attentive and quick, and the menu is extensive with something for just about everybody.

What we liked: The truffle cheese balls were an easy favorite — piping hot, with plenty of cheese but none of the heaviness that can sink a fried appetizer. The truffle also came through without taking over. The truffle mushroom risotto followed suit for one of our mains. It was generously portioned and packed with fresh mushrooms rather than the canned variety. The cream and truffle worked well together. The smoked chicken rigatoni was another strong showing, with al dente pasta, plenty of chicken, and a subtle smoky note. The tomato-based sauce also incorporates roasted vegetables, giving the dish something more than your standard red-sauce pasta. To drink, the Virgin Brass Mule — ginger, malt drink, and lemon in a large brass mug — was refreshing and well-balanced.

What we didn’t like: The chocolate fondue was the meal’s weak link. It arrived hot, but the promised molten center was nowhere to be found — just a small chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Decent enough, but not what was advertised. The bigger issue was the volume. Once the band and DJ were in full swing, conversation required shouting, and requests to lower the music went unanswered. If you’re there for the spectacle, that’s part of the gig. If you’re not, the outdoor terrace is probably the better call.

The verdict: The Brasserie is built for evenings when you want dinner to come with a bit of spectacle. The food largely delivers, the service knows what it’s doing, and the entertainment gives the restaurant its identity. Just don’t expect a quiet night out.

💡 NOTE- Reservations are strictly required, particularly on weekends, and the restaurant is selective about entry for anyone under 25. There’s a minimum charge and a smart-chic dress code — details shared when you reserve.

WHERE TO FIND IT- The Brasserie is located in Lake View, New Cairo.

WHAT TO LISTEN TO

The Guardian’s Black Box: The Chatbots dissects AI psychosis

🎧🤖 What are AI chatbots doing to us? More specifically, why are more and more people convinced they’re geniuses because of their chatbot companions? This, in essence, is the premise of Black Box: The Chatbots — the latest podcast series by The Guardian Investigates.

What to expect: We’ve noticed it, and you’ve likely noticed it: more people have been claiming to be geniuses. Why? Well, their AI tells them as much, and what they’ve “accomplished” or “discovered” using LLMs makes them feel as much. Across six episodes, each running 45 minutes on average, The Guardian dissects this phenomenon. The podcast interviews individuals who believe themselves to have invented the greatest thing since sliced bread, who, more often than not, had their lives upended because of it. The stories are scary — not because of AI itself but rather because of how susceptible many are to its perceived power.

In the debut episode, host Michael Safi introduces this new reality, offering snippets of what’s to come throughout the rest of the series. Safi details the stories of two middle-aged, middle-class men from similar backgrounds, from two completely different parts of the US — the commonality? Their lives went off the rails because of AI at the exact same time. Both are intelligent men with successful careers, but what ensues goes against all reason.

What we liked: In terms of production quality, The Guardian knocks it out of the park. Black Box pulls out all the stops with an eerie score, top-notch narration, and interview snippets that will have you doing double-takes. What the podcast offers is essentially deep investigative journalism wrapped up in a cozy podcast blanket, presented in a deeply personal manner.

The verdict: Equal parts informative, uncanny, and entertaining, the podcast is one you’ll want to add to your listening roster — now more than ever, especially as the world grapples with what a future where AI reigns supreme means. You’ll want to grab a few snacks for this one.
