Al Mashat highlighted a structural shift in GDP, with high-productivity sectors like manufacturing and ICT now leading the charge and private investment reaching 57%, setting the stage for 2026 as a key inflection point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>Anchoring expectations with a clear economic narrative: <\/strong>\u201cAnchoring expectations is a very important objective... It means that you need to be clear. You need to be clear with your policies, you need to be clear with the tools that you\u2019re going to use,\u201d she said. \u201c[This is the] reason why we came out with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mped.gov.eg\/NationalNarrative?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Egypt\u2019s narrative for economic development<\/a>\u2014and the rest of it is policies for growth, jobs, and resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>The state\u2019s structural reform program rests on three pillars.<\/strong> \u201cFirst, maintaining macroeconomic stability. Second, pushing more competitiveness and increasing private sector engagement. And the third is the green transition.\u201d The narrative includes time-bound commitments so the private sector can track progress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>Where is GDP growth coming from? <\/strong>The key metric, she explained, is not just the headline GDP number (averaging 4.4% this year, 5% last quarter) but its source. \u201cIt\u2019s all coming from industry, the ICT sector, and tourism,\u201d despite negative contributions from the Suez Canal and oil and gas. \u201cGDP is really being pushed by\u2026 more industrialization, more productive sectors, more competition.\u201d She stressed these new sectors are diversified \u2014 pointing to pharmaceuticals, vehicle manufacturing, textiles, and chemical production \u2014 and have \u201chigh employment multipliers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>\u201cThe private sector needs to be the engine of growth,\u201d<\/strong> Al Mashat stated. The goal is to build \u201can economy that focuses more on high-productivity sectors, one that pushes more exports.\u201d She described this strategy as moving into a \u201ccontinuous circle\u201d where \u201cmacroeconomic stability\u2026 is maintained through fiscal, monetary, and governance of public investments. That is coupled with continuing reforms on the structural side, the real economy. And that leads to economic development, more exports, creating more foreign exchange, which pushes macroeconomic stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>The private sector now accounts for 57% of total investments.<\/strong> This is supported by \u201cvery strict ceilings we have on public investment\u201d and reforms to \u201cease business [and] to create more competitive neutrality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>Clarity of policy is the key point for attracting investment<\/strong>, Al Mashat said, adding that \u201cnobody wants to work in a high-inflation context.\u201d She explained that \u201cto regain credibility, real interest rates are kept high for some time,\u201d underscoring that maintaining macroeconomic stability through clear fiscal, monetary, and public investment governance \u201cis the only way we can guarantee the continuation of the GDP rebound we are seeing today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>Utilizing international concessional finance:<\/strong> Addressing the challenge of high interest rates, Al Mashat said companies are already \u201cbenefiting from concessional finance from different IFIs,\u201d such as the EBRD and IFC. Egypt, she explained, acts as a \u201cplatform\u201d for these institutions to channel private sector financing. \u201cIn four years, more than USD 16 bn went to the private sector,\u201d she noted, \u201cwhether through credit lines, equity increases, or concessional finance.\u201d Initiatives such as <a href=\"https:\/\/privatesector.moic.gov.eg\/en\/financing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hafiz<\/a>, the Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy (<a href=\"https:\/\/moic.gov.eg\/page\/nwfe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NWFE<\/a>), and a recent EUR 1.8 bn investment guarantee help \u201cleverage more financing from EBRD or EIB for the private sector in Egypt.\u201d These mechanisms, she added, enable Egyptian and foreign firms to \u201caccess cheaper financing compared to local sources\u201d by leveraging Egypt\u2019s \u201cvery strong relationships with the international community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>Focusing on the real economy, not just macro stability. <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019re focused on the ground,\u201d she stated. Al Mashat pointed to \u201creal credit from the banking sector to the private sector,\u201d which is \u201cmoving upwards\u201d and \u201cgoing mostly to the industrial sector.\u201d This, she said, is part of a \u201cvery consistent narrative\u201d where policy is reflected in real-world results. While macroeconomic stability is \u201cchapter one,\u201d it is supported by an industrial policy, an FDI policy, and a new trade policy for the first time since the 2000s. \u201cAll of this is tied together with a very clear structural reform program\u201d that includes vocational training and localization at the governorate level, Al Mashat concluded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>Managing the employment transition and the rise of AI:<\/strong> Addressing concerns about the national narrative's plan to shift from \u201cnon-tradeable sectors\u201d \u2014 which employs many low-skill workers \u2014 to tradeable ones, the minister said the paths \u201care not mutually exclusive.\u201d She noted that the plan emphasizes vocational training through PPPs, offering private sector opportunities to harness the demographic dividend, alongside growth in outsourcing. The objective, she explained, is to build a \u201cspectrum of different jobs\u201d in sectors with higher productivity and stronger employment multipliers. She cited tourism as a high-multiplier sector \u2014 with a 1-to-3 ratio \u2014 that remains resilient to AI disruption, adding that even with automation, \u201cyou need somebody to dissect and analyze that data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>The 2026 outlook: <\/strong>\u201cI think that 2026 is going to be a very important inflection point or year for Egypt. When I take a look at the consistent performance over the past four quarters, it gives me a lot of faith that when we\u2019re doing policies in the right direction, they\u2019re being reflected,\u201d She said. \u201cAny turnaround that happens with the Suez Canal is going to be creating an extra push. What we're seeing with respect to the recovery in the oil and gas sector is also quite positive. Tourism next year is going to be another record. This year is; next year, hopefully, it will be as well. So 2026 to me is, I would say, a year of really dramatic change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong>We have a window of opportunity with what\u2019s happening globally<\/strong>, and that window of opportunity means that those countries that have a very strong narrative are matching it with the reforms on the ground. Our numbers are showing improvement. We want to maintain that momentum and push forward. It takes an ecosystem. It takes all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left;\"><strong><a

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Post for Investment (<\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pfi.com.eg\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">PFI<\/a><\/strong><strong>) marked one of its most productive years yet<\/strong>, launching a digital factoring arm, and rolling out a new investment services marketplace. We spoke with CEO and Managing Director <strong>Ahmed Ali Abdelrahman<\/strong> on the sidelines of the EnterpriseAM Egypt Forum 2025, where he shared an upbeat outlook on Egypt\u2019s economy, citing improving fundamentals, ongoing reforms, and a monetary easing cycle that he says will unlock new private-sector investment, particularly across financial services and logistics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: So, what's new with PFI?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ahmed Ali Abdelrahman: <\/strong>I think we have a very exciting year. 2025 was actually one of the most productive in terms of the transactions that we had this year. We had two transactions that we've been working on since 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">To start with, we closed 2024 on a very positive note as we signed off on our new venture with AXA International to set up a new micro-insurance business. This is a major milestone that complements our existing mandate and portfolio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">In the meantime, we've launched our digital factoring company, which has received initial approval from the FRA and is working on the final approval. We've also scaled our PFI Investment Service, which is going to be the marketplace for investment funds in Egypt. We also have quite a few transactions in the pipeline and hopefully will close one by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: What are the promising sectors you see today in Egypt?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong> At PFI, we focus on certain sectors where we believe we can add value. Our strategy focuses on the entire financial services spectrum as a whole \u2014 the NBFI sector, investment services, and insurance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">These three sectors under the financial services space are quite interesting for us. We also have a focus on the logistics business, where we believe we can add value. This comes again from our strategy, which leverages our DNA as an investment holding company of Egypt Post, which primarily works in the financial as well as logistics businesses. These sectors, among others, have a strong investment outlook, and we're hopeful that we can conclude a transaction or two during the upcoming year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: On a personal level, which asset class or asset classes do you prefer to invest in at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong> It\u2019s a very volatile market at the moment. Asset classes across the board have reached a point where you have to be cautious when selecting a certain one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">However, we believe the stock market still holds a lot of potential given the cheap valuations we\u2019re seeing today and the fundamental and structural reforms that started early last year. So, I think the stock market would be my first pick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Private equity as an asset class \u2014 since it\u2019s our core area of expertise \u2014 and the companies that are benefiting from the current reforms will definitely require growth capital, which we can provide as a growth capital provider in industries where there\u2019s tangible value added. Again, the logistics and industrial sectors are areas where we believe we can add a lot of value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: What exchange rate are you considering in your 2026 budget?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong> It\u2019s a million-dollar question. Everybody is wondering how the exchange rate will look. We\u2019ve heard a number of panelists projecting an average exchange rate between EGP 48 and EGP 50 for the USD; we\u2019ve also heard EGP 55. I believe working in the neighborhood between 46 and up to 50 would be a realistic assumption for 2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: How do you plan to finance growth in 2026? And where do you see interest rates needing to be to unlock private sector borrowing in a meaningful way?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong> It\u2019s been a challenging year and a half since the rate hike in March 2024 \u2014 a very tough market to navigate. Borrowing costs have risen to levels that have become prohibitive for new investments. Now, with the easing cycle taking place since the start of 2025, we\u2019ve seen almost 6\u20136.25 percentage points coming down from the 8% we saw in 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">I think we\u2019re on the right track to capture the downward trend that I believe will continue during the remainder of 2025 and 2026 as well. Historically, in Egypt\u2019s interest rate environment, the level where you see 12\u201315% is a normalized rate that would encourage more investment and support expansion plans. We\u2019ve already seen some indications of private sector CAPEX projects coming in. So, to answer your question, we\u2019re talking about 12\u201315% as a normalized rate for the upcoming period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: Has AI had any impact on your hiring plan at PFI?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong> Honestly, in our field of business, I don\u2019t think AI is going to help much. Probably at the portfolio level, where we\u2019re leveraging one of our portfolio companies \u2014 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wavz.com.eg\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Wavz<\/a> \u2014 which is working on many digital transformation and AI projects. Indirectly, portfolio companies will definitely benefit from the AI wave we\u2019re seeing. As far as PFI is concerned, there could be some optimization, but to tangibly feel it today, I think it will take more time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: Are you optimistic or pessimistic about 2026, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong>Definitely optimistic. The fundamental story of Egypt is still intact \u2014 actually, it\u2019s on the rise. If you heard the two ministers this morning, it\u2019s quite apparent that we\u2019re on the right track. FDIs will definitely come, and the private sector is much more encouraged than before. So, I\u2019m very optimistic about 2026 and what it holds for Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/ahmed-ali-abdelrahman\/\">Ahmed Ali Abdelrahman<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/on-the-sidelines\/\">ON THE SIDELINES<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":674142,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-674141","forum","type-forum","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"a2e7bdef-c88a-48b9-9569-920c4b506ea8","teaser":"","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/10\/1204.jpg"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
