THE WEEK IN REVIEW

World Bank approves USD 1 bn in concessional financing

☀️ Good morning, folks, and happy weekend. While we’d usually recommend starting off your morning with a hot cup of joe, we’d say make it iced considering the weather. It was a relatively calm week on the news front in Om El Donia, and we’ve got the week’s happenings for you below.

With summer now having made itself loud and clear — louder than necessary, if you ask us — you’re probably looking into zhuzhing up your diet, whether that be for “summer body” reasons or otherwise. In this week’s edition of The Enterprise Guide, we’re listing every protein powder, snack, or bar you should keep on your radar if the chicken in your freezer proves lackluster.

Also in today’s issue: We check out Mohamed Ramadan’s latest cinematic endeavor, enjoy a sushi feast (and let you know exactly how it went), and lose ourselves in the pages of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s latest fictional epic.

🗞️ LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

DEBT-

The World Bank Group approved USD 1 bn in concessional financing for Egypt under the second phase of its Growth program, tied to structural reforms targeting state ownership, debt markets, and private-sector mobilization.

ALSO- An IMF mission landed Monday and began the seventh review on Wednesday — over a month ahead of schedule. Earlier this week, the government submitted updates to the IMF on its structural reform package.

ENERGY-

Egypt’s Russian crude imports surged 217% in April to 707k bbl / d from the 223k bbl / d recorded in March. Russian products imports nearly doubled to 499k bbl / d, taking Egypt’s share of Russia’s April seaborne product exports to almost a quarter.

ECONOMY-

Annual urban inflation eased 0.3 percentage points to 14.9% y-o-y in April — the first decline in three months and a full point below the 15.9% consensus from 14 analysts polled by Reuters. Core inflation fell 0.2 percentage points to 13.8% y-o-y.

REAL ESTATE-

The Tourism Development Authority is taking back land from developers in Marsa Alam, South Sinai, and El Quseir over stalled hotel projects — and repricing the recovered plots at sharply higher rates.

EARNINGS-

CIB saw its net income climb 7% y-o-y to EGP 17.8 bn in 1Q 2026 on the back of higher net interest income, which saw a 17% y-o-y jump to EGP 29.7 bn. Meanwhile, Talaat Moustafa Group saw its net income jump 24% y-o-y to EGP 5.5 bn in 1Q. Revenues surged 39% y-o-y over the same period to EGP 13.1 bn.

INVESTMENTS-

Apis Partners has closed its third fund at USD 1.23 bn — more than double its predecessor. Existing LPs accounted for around half of the capital raised, while new backers include sovereigns, supranationals, banks, insurers, and pension funds.

M&A-

Beltone VC and Citadel have offloaded Bosta stakes at 75% IRR — just as the logistics player eyes the EGX. In other M&A news, NBE bought a 20% stake in Norwegian developer Scatec’s 1.1 GW Obelisk solar project in Nagaa Hammadi for an undisclosed sum. The transaction makes state-owned NBE a co-owner of the USD 600 mn solar-plus-storage plant.


In a market defined by geopolitical risk, inflation, currency volatility, and declining interest rates, knowing how to manage your money has never been more important, and yet few people are really good at it.

The default in Egypt has traditionally been to dollarize, buy real estate, or stash your extra cash in a high-yield certificate of deposit, but that playbook is dying.

With an illiquid real estate market, the era of ultra-high-yield deposits coming to an end, and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of digital investment options, investors are looking for new, smarter opportunities.

In this four-part series, EnterpriseAM Money Matters will walk you through smart personal finance decisions regardless of your age, income, or starting point.

🌍 AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

It was another politically-charged week abroad, with the US-Iran stalemate taking over the digital front pages — here’s what went down. After reports of US-Iran clashes on Friday, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz appeared to reach relative calm on Saturday. A day later, US President Donald Trump dismissed Iran’s response to Washington’s proposal, calling the demands “totally unacceptable.” On Monday, Trump said the ceasefire was “on massive life support.”

In oil news, Washington released 53.3 mn barrels of crude from its reserves on Monday to steady oil markets amid the war, loaning the supply to nine companies, including ExxonMobil, Trafigura, and Marathon. And it seems the world’s oil inventory is shrinking, with one estimate placing the drop at roughly 4.8 mn bbl / d between March and April. As the global economy is forced to draw increasingly from its security buffers, the risk of more volatile price fluctuations and severe supply shortages rises.

On Wednesday, Trump landed in Beijing, kicking off the highly anticipated Trump-Xi meeting. The presidents’ first meeting lasted two hours and 15 minutes, with Trump noting they were off to a “ great ” start. While the Chinese leader echoed Trump’s sentiments, hailing a new era of US-China relations, he warned that Taiwan presents “the most important issue,” warning that it could create a “very dangerous situation” if differences arise. Both leaders also reportedly agreed that the Strait of Hormuz “must remain open,” according to White House officials.

MEANWHILE- US inflation hit a three-year high in April, coming in at 3.8% thanks to the war-triggered rise in energy prices. Investors are wagering on continued inflation growth, expecting average annual inflation to level out at 2.7% over the next five years. But US stock markets don’t seem rattled by the (seemingly endless) conflict. Later in the week, the US Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as the next head of the Federal Reserve, taking over from outgoing chief Jerome Powell. Warsh, a longtime advocate for rate cuts, will take over during a period of high inflation.

Over in the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared he plans to stay in office following calls for his removal after the Labor Party’s dire performance in local elections — the worst results for a governing party in decades.

IN THE BUSINESS PRESS- Online marketplace eBay turned down GameStop’s USD 56 bn acquisition bid, expressing concerns over financing and leverage, the video game retailer’s governance, and operational risks of the combined entity. In the AI world, Anthropic is in early negotiations to raise over USD 30 bn in new funding.

☀️ THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND-

Stay cool — and if possible, stay indoors. We’re in for quite the hot weekend, with temperatures today reportedly set to peak at 33°C, with a low of 19°C. Tomorrow will be warmer, with a high of 33°C and a low of 21°C, as per the latest updates from the Egyptian Meteorological Authority. That said, we’d recommend monitoring the authority’s official channels throughout the weekend, as updates are posted regularly amid reports of an upcoming heatwave.

🎤 HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND-

Angham is set to take the stage at El Arena, New Cairo tonight. The vocal powerhouse brings a high-production and immersive live experience, led by maestro Hani Farhat. Doors open at 7:30pm — you can book your tickets now through Tazkarti.

Pianist Amr Selim is bringing his musical talents to Theatro Arkan tonight. The concert starts at 7:30pm — you can book your tickets on Ticketsmarché.

Omar Khairat will be performing at Al Manara Main Hall tonight in support of Baheya Foundation. Featuring the composer’s live music, the evening is dedicated to healing, hope, and giving. The concert kicks off at 8pm, with tickets available on Ticketsmarché — all proceeds go toward supporting Baheya patients.

Beloved former professional footballer Hazem Emam will be sharing the stage with media veteran Mahmoud Saad tonight at AUC Tahrir Square’s Falaki Theatre for an in-depth conversation on all things sports, football, and his life behind the scenes. The talk kicks off at 7:30pm, with tickets available on Tazkarti. Photography will be off limits, with phones set aside for the duration of the interview.

If you’re hoping to unwind, Waleed El Moghazy’s Bazet Menny comedy show at Theatro Arkan tomorrow is the perfect place to go. In his debut stand up special, El Moghazy brings relatable chaos and humorous anecdotes to the stage. The show starts at 7:30pm — you can book your tickets on Ticketsmarché.

THE ENTERPRISE GUIDE

Making sense of the protein craze

💪 The protein mania has likely not escaped you. A “high-protein” meal has become the new low-fat or sugarfree meal, and — unless you’re a health junkie — the ins and outs of the protein world are a little overwhelming to keep up with.

So, how much protein do you actually need? Typically, protein intake increases alongside body weight and is largely dependent on other factors like activity levels and age. The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends a minimum daily intake of 0.8g of protein per kg of body weight for sedentary adults, while athletes require 1-2g per kg. Due to age-related muscle loss, adults over 65 also require a higher daily intake, between 80-140g. In short, you don’t need to be hitting the gym to fulfill your daily recommended protein intake.

Do you need the supplements, though? Most health professionals would tell you it’s not absolutely necessary; it is possible to fulfill protein intake through regular meals. But, when you’ve already had your fair share of chicken, meat, fish, eggs, or the like, you’re most probably not going to have the appetite for more — and you’ll fall short of your intake goal. That’s where supplements come in, making up for lack of appetite, post-workout hunger, or for little cooking time. They’re also easier to track and measure when you’re aiming for higher protein goals. Just to be clear, however, supplements aren’t replacements for meals.

Before rushing to incorporate protein supplements into your diet, you should always prioritize meeting protein needs through whole foods. At the end of the day, protein products are processed foods, so it’s best to opt for “clean” options. Bottom line: choose products with short, recognizable ingredient lists.

Without further ado, here’s every protein powder, snack, or bar you should keep on your radar…

Protein powders

Protein powders are best consumed post-workout, in between meals, or before bed. You should aim for 1-2 scoops of daily intake. The main concern with excess intake is the added calories, which can contribute to fat gain. For the healthiest option, check that your protein powder doesn’t have more than 5g of sugar per serving.

Protein powders come in different types and sources — here’s what you need to know to find the one that suits your body:

Whey concentrate: The go-to option for post-workout muscle recovery is whey protein powder, a milk-based complete protein known for being easily digested. Whey concentrate, in particular, is widely favored for its high branched-chain amino acid content and rich concentration of leucine, a key amino acid for muscle building. It’s also more filling than other whey alternatives. Here are some brands on our radar:

#1- Advanced Sports Nutrition (ASN): Health Ministry and GMP-certified, ASN offers high-quality nutrition supplements. Their protein products feature easily digestible whey protein concentrate bags of 990g with low-calorie sweeteners, available in a variety of natural flavors.

Protein per serving: 25g.

Calories: 120 kcal.

THE PRICE TAG- ~EGP 2k.


#2- The Evolve Way: The Evolve Way switches things up with unconventional whey concentrate flavors using natural ingredients — sobia, dates and milk, cereal, strawberry tart, carmelized biscuits, and ice-cream cookie. Sugar content can reach up to 3g.

Protein per serving: 25g.

Calories: 130 kcal.

THE PRICE TAG-EGP 2.5k.


Honorable mentions:


Whey isolate: Whey isolate is a highly refined form of whey with almost all fat and lactose removed, making it a lifesaver for lactose-intolerant individuals. It contains around 90% protein by weight — perfect for athletes looking for pure protein with minimal additions.

#1- Novogen: Pharma-certified Novogen offers glutenfree powders. Their whey isolate powders come in 1-2 kg tubs and on-the-go protein bottles with vanilla and chocolate flavors.

Protein per serving: 24g.

Calories: 120 kcal.

THE PRICE TAG- EGP 1.7k-3.7k.


#2- Keep Going: Keep Going offers no-lactose isolate protein powders with straightforward ingredient lists. Their formulas come in vanilla raspberry and chocolate brownie flavors with no added sugars. The brand also offers a distinctive whey complex blend — a strawberry chunks-flavored mix of both isolate and concentrate formulas.

Protein per serving: 25g.

Calories: 130 kcal.

THE PRICE TAG-EGP 3k.


#3- Organic Nation: Organic Nation is a healthy, nutrient-based food brand, selling whey isolate protein powders with low-carb and low-fat formulas that support fast absorption and easy digestion.

Protein per serving: 24g.

Calories: 135 kcal.

THE PRICE TAG-EGP 1.65k.


#4- TawRaw: TawRaw is a natural ingredients brand that sells whey isolate powders sweetened with stevia extract, with no added sugar or artificial additives. They also offer ultra-pure unflavored whey isolate protein powder as well as beef isolate protein powder for those who prefer dairyfree, simple-flavored alternatives.

Protein per serving: 25g.

Calories: 112 kcal.

THE PRICE TAG-EGP 2.9-3.4k.


Plant-based: For those who prefer to avoid animal products, plant-based proteins are a great option. That said, plant-based proteins are generally considered a lower-quality protein as they lack all nine essential amino acids and can be harder to digest. It’s best to look for multiple-source plant-based proteins like rice and pea blends for complete protein. Soy protein is the only complete plant-based protein and a great source of iron.

#1- Olé Nutrients: Olé Nutrients is an organic and vegan superfoods brand offering an unflavored plant-based protein powder made from yellow pea protein isolate. It’s dairy, gluten, and soyfree, with no artificial additives.

THE PRICE TAG-EGP 480.


#2- ASN: The nutrition supplements store offers banana-flavored pea and rice plant-based protein powder. Their protein powder has no dairy, gluten, soy, or added sugars.

Protein per serving: 25g.

Calories: 135 kcal.

THE PRICE TAG-EGP 660.


#3- Organic Nation: Another one from the natural-ingredients brand, Organic Nation’s earth plant-based protein powder is a blend of pea protein isolate, quinoa, brown rice, and whole-rolled oats, with moringa, spirulina, and extra-added amino acids in the mix.

Protein per serving: 20g.

Calories: 110 kcal.

THE PRICE TAG-EGP 700.

Grab-and-go snacks

Avoiding supplements? If you’re not aiming for exceptionally high protein intake or following an intense muscle-building regimen, healthy snacks can be an easy way to add quick protein boosts throughout the day — and they come in almost every variety imaginable.

#1- Protein bars:

  • Abu Auf: Their glutenfree and low-fat whey protein bars pack 13-20g of protein each, available in a variety of sweet flavors like birthday cake, cranberries, caramelized biscuit, goji berry, coffee, banana, hazelnuts, and almond. Calorie count reaches up to 270;
  • Lite Bite: Lite Bite protein bars similarly pack 30% protein with low sugar and calorie count (200 kcal), available in the classic flavors. Vegan protein bars also make their list, with 20% protein, no sugar or gluten, and with a calorie count of 250. For lower-carb diets, their keto bars offer 10% protein and 3-4g of net carbs;
  • Refuel: The nutrition brand sells protein bars with 20g of protein and no added sugars. Calorie count comes in at 225;
  • Clean Bars: The organic brand offers 14-20g protein bars with natural ingredients in a variety of sweet flavors;
  • Imtenan: Whey- and soy-based protein bars with 20g of protein each, available in mocha, cocoa, coconut, and peanuts. Calorie count comes in at 273.

  • The Milkman: A dairy-favorite, The Milkman has Greek yogurt varieties packed with 8-12g of protein;
  • Greko: The authentic Greek yogurt brand serves up its Yopolis 9-20g protein Greek yogurt lineup in varying fat contents;
  • Sara’s Jar: This homemade local brand offers 100% natural Greek yogurt with 14-20g of protein.


#3- Spreads, mixes, drinks, and more: If the classic protein picks start to feel repetitive, these protein-packed snacks add some variety to the mix.

  • ASN’s sweet picks: ASN’s diverse protein lineup features Bob's Bake 14g-protein pancake and waffle mix, brownies and carrot cake with 16g of protein, and 15g-protein cookies available in four flavors;
  • Own Snacks: Own’s sweet snack selection includes whey concentrate and isolate protein chunks with 20g of protein each;
  • Breadfast: The supermarket’s healthy Byld line features 10g-protein chunks in peanut and dark caramel flavors.
  • Kayy: The Egyptian oatmeal and protein brand offers dry oats and instant oatmeal with 20-30g of protein;
  • HiPro: HiPro sells 25g-protein yogurt drinks in a variety of flavors and with added vitamins.


#4- Savory protein snacks:

  • Balance: Balance’s protein snacks come in 15g-protein puffs and their newest 20g-protein shots, available in the favorite savory flavors;

At the Movies

Asad marks Mohamed Ramadan’s fierce return to the big screen

🎥 Following a three-year absence, Mohamed Ramadan is back on the big screen with Asad — his first collaboration with Moon Knight ’s Mohamed Diab. Written by Mohamed, Sherine, and Khaled Diab, with quite the hefty budget of USD 6 mn, expectations for the film were sky-high from the get-go.

The plot: Asad (Ramadan) is a slave in 19th-century Egypt. When he falls for Layla (Razane Jammal), their romance soon spirals into a clash of classes that puts him in direct confrontation with her father, Mahrous El Refai (Kamel El Basha). Asad then begins leading a widespread revolution against the slave trade system in Egypt, just as the governor of Egypt (Maged El Kedwany) issues a decree abolishing the trade. The beneficiaries of the system, however, won’t let up easily, and obstacles to the decree’s implementation mount. Asad surprisingly finds support from the governor’s son (Ahmed Dash), who backs the uprising… conditionally.

What we liked: The film centers on a pivotal era in Egypt’s modern history, acutely capturing the social and class conflicts of the century, oscillating between political shifts and personal social tragedies, and shining a light on an oft-overlooked chapter of Egyptian history with dramatic flair. As for production quality, Asad delivered and then some. The cinematography was stellar, and the costume design accurately conveyed the era’s true spirit. Hesham Nazih’s score was essentially a protagonist in its own right, adding incredible musical depth to every scene.

Ramadan’s performance took us by pleasant surprise, with the star veering from his usual typecast. While it’s indeed an action-heavy watch, he manages to deliver a layered and mature performance. The rest of the cast showed up and showed out, too, including rising star Mustafa Shehata and Sudanese actor Eman Youssef — who delivered one of the movie’s best performances.

That said, at times, the dramatic structure lacked the necessary cohesion to carry the weight of the film’s central theme. While the events take place in the 19th century, there were some temporal inconsistencies, leaving us slightly confused at times.

Our final verdict: Asad is an ambitious cinematic experience worth watching. Despite some critiques, the team delivered a nearly cohesive cinematic product that retold an important historical era with a clear artistic identity.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can catch Asad at Vox Cinema at City Center Almaza, Mall of Egypt, and Mall of Alexandria, as well as CFC and D5’s Scene Cinema, Cima Arkan, P90 Cinema, and Zawya. Watch the trailer on YouTube (watch, runtime: 1:44).

From the Bookstore

Dream Count is a masterclass in narrative and depth

📚 Nearly 13 years following her last literary work, Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is out with her latest novel Dream Count — solidifying her status as a contemporary voice to be reckoned with. Taking place during the Covid-19 lockdowns, the novel is a social drama that prioritizes characters over plot, dissecting its four female protagonists, for whom isolation forces a confrontation with their true selves and the ghosts of their pasts.

The plot: The novel is structured into four parts, each narrated by one of the women. The characters include a Nigerian writer stranded in the US, her successful cousin, her best friend — a high-powered lawyer facing a devastating life trial — and a Guinean housekeeper struggling to raise her daughter in a foreign land.

What we liked: Adichie delivers a masterclass in narrative and depth. Her precise prose and evocative descriptions of her characters’ emotional states foster a deep sense of empathy. Beyond individual feelings, Adichie uses these characters to explore abuse of power, racism, double standards, and toxic relationships, as well as complex family dynamics — all without lapsing into preachy moralizing.

The novel expertly explores the friction and fusion between African and American cultures, giving a voice to immigrant women and the daily pressures they face regardless of their social standing. While the shifting timeline between present and past might be jarring for some, the fluid language keeps the narrative light, and the sharp attention to detail brings every scene to life.

The verdict: With Dream Count, Adichie presents a mature, complex, and deeply honest literary work. It’s essential reading for anyone interested in literature that deconstructs the intersections of race and class, or that forces a reckoning with one’s own life choices — which is to say, it was worth the 13-year wait.

WHERE TO FIND IT- The novel is available in paperback at Diwan.

Hot and Fresh Out of the Kitchen

Sushimi By K nails sushi night

🍴 You haven’t truly experienced sushi until you’ve had an exceptionally good piece — and Sushimi By K makes that clear. A catering and delivery service-turned-dining spot, Sushimi was an all-around pleasant surprise, and we indulged our hearts in the Japanese delicacies.

An unexpected seating arrangement: On a Thursday night, Sushimi By K was unsurprisingly full when we made our first visit. We were initially seated at a makeshift bar, hoping for a table outdoors or in the main indoor area. But as the wait stretched on, we settled in and ended up staying at our corner of the bar — it proved surprisingly comfortable, convenient, and refreshingly unfussy.

What we ordered: Sushimi By K keeps things refreshingly straightforward with an authentic menu that does both the essentials and creative takes right. We skipped a tempting assortment of staple Asian-inspired starters for an even more tempting choice of truffle noodles from the hot dishes as our palate primer. For the main event, we opted for the Sensei 4 rolls (24 pieces) — your choice of four six-piece rolls from the special or hot maki selection. After some deliberation and a bit of back-and-forth with our waiter, we eventually landed on the classic Philadelphia, the Uchiha, the Tiger, and the Golden Cream hot maki.

We were blown away, to say the least. The noodles were coated in a perfectly creamy and flavorful truffle sauce — a dish that, despite its smaller portion, immediately felt like a must-order for our future visits. As for the showstopper of the night, the sushi more than delivered. Each bite was an eye-opener — the ingredients were impressively fresh, with bold flavors hitting all the right spots. The makis showed no signs of the dryness, staleness, or flavor ambiguity often found at mid-tier sushi spots. The Golden Cream hot maki especially stood out, arriving deliciously warm and delivering a full-on flavor explosion.

The verdict: Sushimi By K is a resounding must-try. We left with no notes, cravings thoroughly satisfied, and knowing we’ll be back for more. It leans a little on the pricier side (deservedly so), but it’s perfect for an occasional, indulgent sushi night out.

WHERE TO FIND IT- You can find Sushimi By K at Polaris Mall in New Cairo and Park St. in Sheikh Zayed. You can also order takeaway by calling the numbers in their Instagram bio.

💵 Per person: EGP 1.1k.

🪑 Outdoor seating: Yes.

🍺 Alcohol: No.

🦽 Accessibility-friendly: Yes.

WHAT TO LISTEN TO

Building trust that lasts with Masters of Scale

👂 Masters of Scale excels in a market oversaturated with podcasts attempting to decode modern work culture. Known for conversations with the minds behind Uber, Airbnb, Apple, and Disney, the podcast not only discusses business-scaling strategies but also the human mechanics of leadership.

What to expect: With almost 700 episodes in its backlog, the podcast covers a range of topics, with one singular mission: to help up-and-coming entrepreneurs “grow their dream enterprises.” Brought to life by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, the podcast is hosted by Hoffman himself, alongside guest hosts Jeff Berman and former Fast Company editor Bob Safian.

What caught our attention: In one particular episode, the podcast explores what happens when trust at work begins to erode, with author Rachel Botsman joining host Jeff Berman to unpack trust, hybrid work, and why AI might be reshaping our approach to trust. Botsman frames distrust not as a singular collapse, but as an accumulation of smaller fractures, including declining faith in institutions, expertise, leadership, and one another. Rather than treating trust as a corporate buzzword, Botsman approaches it as something deeply human and fragile.

The episode examines expertise in the age of social media and AI. Botsman notes that people are growing skeptical of traditional authority while placing trust in digital systems. Rather than falling into the usual AI panic cycle, the episode focuses on a more useful question: Are these systems actually worthy of trust? The highlight of the episode is the discussion around workplace trust in hybrid models. She argues that while flexible work has benefits, virtual communication has weakened constructive disagreement. The episode resonates because it presents trust as it really is, complicated and increasingly difficult to maintain through a screen.

What we liked: What makes Masters of Scale stand out is its ability to keep high-level conversations light and accessible to the average listener. The podcast maintains a balance between polished and conversational, with the hosts guiding discussions forward easily and letting their guests unpack their ideas naturally. This, coupled with the refreshing lack of performative hustle culture, makes even its heavier topics engaging.

The verdict: Masters of Scale is a podcast worth your time. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or simply curious about the inner workings of the business sphere, Masters of Scale should be on your roster. Episodes typically run 30-40 minutes, making each a quick — but packed — listen.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can tune in on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Anghami, and Spotify.
