THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Natural gas is no longer VAT exempt

Good morning, folks, and welcome to the weekend. With summer (and Sahel) season just about to kick off, we bring you an all-inclusive guide to everything beach. In today’s issue, we break down all the beach kit must-haves and more.

Also today: We hit the cinemas to review Backrooms, try out Maadi’s new blues music bar, strategize and vanquish with Command & Conquer, and get author-first insights in Bookmarked.

But first, your weekly recap…

🗞️ LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

TAX-

Natural gas is losing its VAT exemption for the first time, slapping a flat EGP 20/mcf table tax on the fuel to ease the state’s budget burden. The amendments also extend a VAT suspension on production machinery and medical equipment to four years to stimulate local manufacturing and keep capital from getting locked up in red tape. The draft law will now move to the House for approval.

InstaPay, Fawry, and a number of other banking and non-banking finance services and investment funds are set to receive VAT exemptions under the second tax facilitation package. The package is now heading to the House of Representatives for approval.

M&A WATCH-

Ascom’s board of directors approved a fair value study to acquire a 90% stake in Raya Holding’s Ostool Transport and Logistics, bringing Qalaa Holdings’ mining arm one step closer to executing the EGP 641 mn buyout.

REAL ESTATE-

Talaat Moustafa Group’s Iraqi subsidiary secured a license and land for a USD 10 bn megaproject in Baghdad. Located within Baghdad Financial and Economic City, the 12.8 mn sqm project will house 250k residents across 43k units, launching with a 16-year construction timeline and a 12-year sales window.

IPO WATCH-

The retail tranche of Korra Energi’s IPO closed 31.35x oversubscribed before the Eid El Adha break, according to EGX data. Retail buyers placed initial orders for 3.1 bn shares, targeting just 99 mn shares earmarked for the public. Korra’s IPO is the EGX’s second private-sector main-market listing this year, following Gourmet’s blockbuster offering.

MANUFACTURING-

Chinese equipment manufacturer Sany Group plans to invest over USD 300 mn to build Egypt’s first wind turbine factory in Suez Canal Economic Zone. The first phase of production will supply an undisclosed 1 GW wind project in the Gulf of Suez.

The Industrial Development Authority (IDA) is asking parliament for EGP 21 bn over the next three years to complete infrastructure across 17 industrial zones. The request comes weeks after five new zones were transferred to the IDA’s jurisdiction, deepening pressure on the government to expand the supply of investment-ready land.

ECONOMY-

The EGX30 added 1.73% in May to close the month at roughly 52.7k points — a far cry from April’s 14.2% surge but still a solid showing since the month was shortened by four trading sessions for Eid El Adha. Total market cap climbed 2.48% to EGP 3.76 tn.

Egyptian firms reported real annual sales contraction of 11.4% in the World Bank’s latest Enterprise Survey, lagging behind the wider MENA region’s 5.2% growth. Behind this headline slump is a set of operating-environment findings suggesting that Egypt’s three-year macro stabilization push has not yet filtered down to the day-to-day constraints firms identify as their biggest obstacles to growth.

INVESTMENT WATCH-

Egypt’s gross domestic savings rate collapsed to 1.2% of GDP in FY 2024/25, down from 6.1% the previous fiscal year — a 75% drop in a single year. This puts Egypt’s savings rate at a fraction of what high-growth emerging markets typically need to fund investment-led growth.

Our investment fund industry became an EGP 411 bn parallel route for household savings by end-1Q 2026, up 30% in a single quarter. The shift isn’t replacing the deposit base but rather opening a regulated, lower-ticket channel for households to gain exposure to the very asset classes they’ve long preferred.

ENERGY-

Egypt’s energy challenge is characterized by a widening gap between declining production and rising demand, but the government is working to stabilize the sector. The Oil Ministry is making good on its debts to international oil companies, announcing last week that it will fully settle these arrears by 10 June, ahead of its original end-of-June target.

CAPITAL MARKETS-

Egyptian equities could lose their emerging market label in one of the world's most widely followed equity index families. S&P Dow Jones Indices launched a consultation on demoting Egypt to frontier market status, citing lingering concerns around market accessibility, capital mobility, and broader institutional stability.

🌍 AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

It’s been a mixed bag in the news cycle this week. Here’s the rundown.

The US-Iran diplomatic stalemate persisted, despite both sides spending last weekend exchanging revisions to a draft pact that would keep the ceasefire in place. The two countries dominated headlines after exchanging military strikes on Monday. The US Central Command launched “self-defense strikes” over the weekend in response to “aggressive Iranian actions,” which included targeting a US drone over international waters. Iran retaliated by striking an air base hosting US forces.

On Wednesday, the war saw serious escalations as US forces intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones aimed at US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. The US then conducted “self-defense” strikes on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

On Thursday, the US House approved a war powers resolution to curb military action against Iran, marking the first Capitol Hill-backed congressional challenge to US President Donald Trump since the conflict began.

Flights at Kuwait’s international airport were suspended on Wednesday after an Iranian drone strike hit the airport, injuring at least 63 people, according to the country’s Health Ministry. The strikes caused heavy damage to one of the airport’s passenger terminals.

CLOSER TO HOME- Attacks in Lebanon escalated on Monday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut, where tensions with “terrorist targets” in the Hezbollah-controlled Dahiyeh persisted. Hezbollah responded with rocket fire into northern Israel. On Tuesday, Israeli drone strikes killed eight people just a day after Trump announced that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to ease hostilities.

Israel maintains military action in Lebanon: Netanyahu’s orders came on the heels of Hezbollah’s “repeated violations” of a ceasefire that was announced in April and attacks on “Israeli cities and civilians.” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israel would continue carrying out strikes in Lebanon and would not withdraw from the country’s south for the time being.

IN OTHER NEWS- On Tuesday, Russia unleashed a sweeping overnight assault on Kyiv and other cities — one of its largest aerial attacks on Ukraine in recent months — leaving at least 18 people dead and more than 100 wounded. According to Ukraine’s military, the attack involved over 600 drones and dozens of missiles, including advanced hypersonic weapons. The Health Ministry reported five medical facilities damaged or destroyed.

ALSO- The Trump administration proposed new tariffs of up to 12.5% on imports from 60 economies following an investigation into goods allegedly produced by forced labor. The sweeping tariff package aims to revive Trump’s emergency tariffs, struck down earlier this year by the Supreme Court. Major trading partners like China, the EU, Japan, India, Canada, and others would be affected by the levy.

AND- The UN General Assembly elected its next head. Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman narrowly defeated Cyprus’s Andreas Kakouris to secure the presidency of the UN General Assembly.

IN BUSINESS NEWS- Berkshire Hathaway made a USD 6.8 bn housing play, agreeing to acquire US homebuilder Taylor Morrison — the first multi-bn-USD acquisition under the helm of newly minted CEO Greg Abel. Alphabet will sell USD 80 bn worth of stock to fund investments in computing infrastructure to meet customer demand for AI products. The company intends to source the funds via underwritten offerings, a USD 10 bn investment from Berkshire Hathaway, and selling Class A and Class C shares.

IN THE TECH WORLD- Dell premiered the XPS 13, its new low-cost offering, with prices starting at USD 699. It is expected to butt heads with Apple’s MacBook Neo, another laptop marketed for its affordability. Nvidia unveiled a new chip designed to run AI agents on personal laptops and desktop computers. CEO Jensen Huang said the RTX Spark PC chip is part of a broader effort with Microsoft to “reinvent the PC” for the AI computing era.

☀️ THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND-

The hot weather continues this weekend. Today brings warm weather and hazy sunshine as temperatures peak at 36°C before settling at a breezy 26°C by nightfall. Tomorrow brings even hotter conditions, with a high of 39°C and a low of 23°C. Along the North Coast, expect slightly milder temperatures today and tomorrow with a high of 31°C and a low of 19°C, according to our favorite weather app.

🎤 HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND-

Renowned Italian maestro Andrea Bocelli is landing in Egypt as part of his Romanza World Tour tonight at the City of Arts and Culture in the New Capital. You can book your tickets through Ticketsmarché.

Backrooms: A journey into the dark rooms of the mind

📽 Have you ever imagined confronting yourself and your thoughts in entirely different dimensions? How do you escape from yourself when your past choices and accumulated regrets turn into a physical place you can actually walk through? This philosophical question serves as the launching pad for Backrooms — the feature film debut of 20-year-old American YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Kane Parsons, produced in partnership with independent studio A24.

The plot: Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a former architect whose life has spiraled into a series of failures following a painful divorce, a battle with alcoholism, and the collapse of his career. He seeks professional help from Marie (Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve), a specialized psychiatrist. At the same time, Clark accidentally discovers a mysterious portal in the basement of a furniture showroom he owns, leading to an endless labyrinth of identical corridors and rooms. Driven by curiosity, Clark ventures in and gets trapped inside this world. As Marie tries to track him down and rescue him, she uncovers a shocking secret that changes everything.

Parsons uses this film to expand the universe he created in his hit YouTube series, masterfully utilizing the concept of liminal spaces — those settings that feel simultaneously familiar and alien, triggering a disorienting mix of comfort, nostalgia, and unreality. The film adds a deeply unsettling layer to this concept, leaving audiences to wonder where the confrontation truly begins and ends, or if a real exit even exists.

What we liked: The film successfully translates an internet-born phenomenon into a fully realized cinematic experience without losing its original eerie charm. The narrative does not rely on cheap jump scares or forced horror tropes. Instead, it builds psychological dread rooted in profound isolation, disorientation, and a total loss of control within a seemingly infinite space — a world crafted brilliantly by the director and brought to life by the cast.

The free-flowing camerawork also plays a vital role in building tension, making viewers feel trapped right alongside the characters in those exhausting corridors rather than just being passive observers. The film maintains a brisk pace that never gives the audience a chance to lose interest. Ejiofor delivers an exceptional performance, capturing his character’s complex psychological state with grounded restraint. Meanwhile, Parsons’ debut proves he is one of the most prominent rising voices in contemporary psychological horror and sci-fi, showcasing a confident, ambitious visual vision.

The verdict: This film doesn’t offer easy answers or a conventional, neatly wrapped plot. Instead, it delivers an immersive emotional experience grounded in confusion, anxiety, and open-ended questions. It succeeds in creating one of the most fascinating horror worlds in recent years, announcing the arrival of a talented young director who managed the leap from YouTube videos to the big screen without losing his unique signature style.

WHERE TO WATCH- Screening at VOX Cinemas City Center Almaza and Mall of Egypt, Cima Arkan, Point 90 Cinemas, and Zawya Cinema. (Watch the trailer, runtime 2:17)

Blues Dry Music Bar in Maadi nails both the mood and the food

🍴 Finding a restaurant that gets both the atmosphere and the food right is a lot harder than it sounds. One usually comes at the expense of the other: great food served under fluorescent lighting, or impeccable ambience paired with forgettable plates. Blues Dry Music Bar in Maadi manages to land somewhere pleasantly in the middle, delivering a dining experience that’s as much about the mood (and music) as it is about what’s on the table.

First impressions: The first thing Blues gets right is the setting. The lighting is spot-on — warm, moody, and flattering without making you squint at the menu. Tables are generously spaced, creating a sense of privacy that’s increasingly rare in Cairo’s dining scene. Whether you’re on a date, catching up with friends, or simply looking for a quiet meal, the restaurant feels designed to encourage lingering, wrapped up nicely with an impeccably picked playlist of soulful blues and jazz music.

A complimentary bread basket arrives shortly after you’re seated, complete with hot bread, garlic butter, and olive paste. It’s a small touch, but one that sets the tone for the evening.

What we liked: The fillet and mushroom emincé igatoni featured perfectly al dente pasta coated in a rich, well-seasoned sauce, with a generous helping of beef throughout. While some of the meat was slightly overcooked — and occasionally charred beyond necessity — the dish remained satisfying and hearty.

The mushroom and truffle risotto arrived piping hot and loaded with mushrooms, with freshness shining through in every bite. It was, however, under-seasoned. After a quick adjustment with salt and pepper, the dish came alive and became one of the evening’s most enjoyable surprises.

The tenderloin was the star of the show. Though the medium-rare cook was somewhat uneven, the beef itself was flavorful and paired beautifully with the accompanying pepper sauce and garlic butter. The silky mashed potatoes and perfectly seasoned sautéed vegetables rounded out a plate that felt complete, balanced, and generously portioned.

The downside: Service was friendly throughout the evening, with the staff remaining attentive and accommodating whenever needed. The only issue was pacing. Dishes took longer than expected to arrive — the dynamite shrimp and Parmesan fries arrived colder than expected, which dulled the impact of what could have been standout starters. That said, portions were generous, and the kitchen wasn’t shy with either the aioli or Parmesan.

The verdict: Blues isn’t perfect, but it gets the important things right. The atmosphere is exceptional, the seating is comfortable, and when the kitchen is firing on all cylinders, the food is genuinely impressive. Blues is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a relaxed dinner spot that feels just a little more special than the average night out.

WHERE TO FIND IT- Blues Dry Music Bar is located on Street 82 in Maadi.

💵 Per person: EGP 600-900

Feel like coming up with yet another strategy this weekend?

🎮 Welcome back, Commander. Before multiplayer online battle arena lanes and battle royale circles dominated the landscape, there was one absolute king of the internet café: the real-time strategy game. And sitting right on the throne of that genre was Command & Conquer.

It all started in 1995 with Tiberian Dawn. Westwood Studios turned a war game into a sprawling universe, introducing players to the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod, led by the charismatic, bald-headed Kane (played by Joe Kucan). The inclusion of full-motion video (FMV) cutscenes — cheesy, campy, and effortlessly cool — turned these games into interactive B-movies we just couldn't get enough of.

The franchise quickly split into three distinct “universes,” each a classic in its own right:

The Tiberium Universe: A serious sci-fi war over a green alien crystal;
The Red Alert Universe: A wacky alternate history where Einstein kills Hitler, leading to Soviet psychic soldiers and weaponized squids. Red Alert 2 is arguably the most beloved real-time strategy (RTS) of all time;
The Generals Universe: A gritty modern-military spin-off that ditched the FMVs but perfected the multiplayer balance.

In 2007, EA (which had acquired Westwood) released Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. This was the franchise firing on all cylinders. It brought the series into the HD era without losing its soul. The FMVs returned with actual Hollywood talent (including Lost’s Josh Holloway and Star Wars’ Billy Dee Williams), the graphics were gorgeous, and the gameplay was fast, brutal, and satisfying. It felt like the series would live forever.

The gameplay: The game(s) essentially revolves around constructing a base, gathering and managing resources, and using specialized harvester units to fund your war machine. Once you’ve set up your unit, it’s game on. To defeat your opponents in parallel faction campaigns — or go head-to-head with fellow players in multiplayer mode — you’ll have to figure out a way to simultaneously manage your roster of infantry, vehicles, aircraft, and other units. It’s hard, but that’s what makes it fun.

As of early 2026, the franchise is largely dormant on PC, much to fans’ dismay. While EA has released mobile titles like C&C: Legions, the community largely views these as banknote grabs wearing the skin of their childhood hero. However, the spirit of C&C lives on in the Remastered Collection (2020), which remains a love letter to the originals.

💯 Rating: 95/100

⌛ Hours of gameplay: Unlimited

🔁 Replay value: 10/10

👾 Platforms: PC

💵 Price: Often under USD 20 for the Ultimate Collection

Looking for your next book podcast? Try Bookmarked

👂 Inside the minds of authors: American actress Reese Witherspoon has long been famous for her passion for reading — a love that inspired her to launch Hello Sunshine, a media company behind numerous book-to-screen adaptations and one of the most influential celebrity book clubs. Extending that passion into audio, Reese’s Book Club launched Bookmarked, an iHeartPodcasts-produced show that pairs readers with the writers behind their favorite books.

What to expect: The podcast shines a spotlight on major literary releases and global cultural trends, exploring the business of publishing and the behind-the-scenes process of turning books into lucrative screen adaptations. Host and journalist Danielle Robay sits down with a diverse lineup of contemporary authors, public figures, celebrities, and influencers to uncover their creative inspirations and discuss their unique perspectives on a wide range of topics.

The best stories come from the heart: In one episode, Robay welcomes American author Belle Burden to discuss her buzzed-about book Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage. The conversation delves into the deeply personal story behind the pages and its upcoming adaptation into a highly anticipated Netflix project starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Burden opens up about her marriage and how her seemingly perfect life unraveled when she discovered her husband's infidelity at the start of the pandemic lockdown. She shares how that painful chapter inspired her memoir and explains why it resonated so deeply with readers, particularly young adults.

What worked: Robay is an exceptionally skilled interviewer who knows exactly how to guide the conversation. She effortlessly draws out fascinating details from authors about their creative journeys and personal motivations. This gives listeners a rare glimpse into the minds of their favorite writers while fostering a sense of community among avid readers. The result is an engaging, educational experience that offers far more depth than just reading a book on your own.

The verdict: The podcast primarily focuses on selections curated by Reese's Book Club. While this is not necessarily a flaw — given that the show was created as an audio companion to the club — it can somewhat limit the variety of recommendations for listeners looking to explore outside that specific digital community. Overall, however, Bookmarked is a must-listen for anyone who loves a good story.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can tune in on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Anghami.
