The government could sell shares to the public and to strategic investors, and plans to market companies to Gulf sovereign funds and investors in Europe and Asia during a roadshow in October, she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sieme<\/strong><strong>ns-built power plant up for<\/strong><strong> grabs:<\/strong> El Said didn\u2019t disclose which companies the government could offer stakes in but said that one of the three Siemens-built power plants will be among the first batch of assets that will be transferred to the SFE\u2019s newly-established \u201cpre-IPO\u201d fund. Assets worth up to USD 3 bn will be handed over to the fund in the next three to six weeks, the minister said, without providing further details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-IPO fund?<\/strong> Announced by the SFE earlier this month, the pre-IPO fund is aimed at preparing state-owned enterprises for listing on the EGX and provides an alternative to public share sales while market conditions remain volatile. Shares held by the National Investment Bank worth up to USD 3 bn will be sold to strategic investors in the first phase, with a second similar sized phase coming later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The SFE has had the Siemens plants on its radar for years: <\/strong>There has been talk of selling stakes in the power plants going <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/11\/25\/actis-confirms-its-bidding-for-a-stake-in-egypts-combined-cycle-plants-6971\/\">back to 2019<\/a> when the SFE was first established. The fund has in the past suggested that it could acquire significant minority stakes in the plants as a prelude to their sale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What other assets could be up for grabs? <\/strong>NIB holds stakes in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nib.gov.eg\/Arabic\/ACTIVITIES-A\/investment-a.html\">large number of state-owned companies<\/a> across sectors including banking, media, fertilizers, food and agriculture, building materials, real estate, and transport, according to its website. Two of the companies listed \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d7ef0109-f72e-4b5c-a44d-005328a1c284\">Egyptian Media Production City<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/16d8e297-b643-4497-9e65-4ad4fef63817\">Mopco<\/a> \u2014 have recently been reported in local media to be the target of Gulf wealth funds, though none of the parties involved have publicly confirmed this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Saudi wealth fund could be interested: <\/strong>SFE head Ayman Soliman <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/7db46eae-b7d1-4b4b-8b2f-83a473b0aed7\">in April said<\/a> the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) could invest in all three plants as well as military-owned Wataniya Petroleum. This would come as part of Riyadh\u2019s USD 10 bn investment pledge that has seen the Saudi fund <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/316415e5-ccc3-42ca-b442-80dd3b8b2e16\">buy minority stakes<\/a> in four EGX-listed companies for USD 1.3 bn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gulf sovereign funds will likely be the priority targets of the strategic sale program<\/strong>, after GCC countries pledged more than USD 22 bn in direct investment to help the country weather global economic headwinds. The <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b4a11664-2159-45ba-ba2f-bf0d3dfd3978\">Abu Dhabi<\/a> and Saudi funds have both supported the government\u2019s pivot to strategic stake sales by snapping up holdings in EGX-listed, state-owned companies, and there\u2019s talk of the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/16d8e297-b643-4497-9e65-4ad4fef63817\">Qatar Investment Authority<\/a> following suit. \u201cSovereign wealth funds are usually long-term investors, they add value in terms of expertise, finance and technology,\u201d Bloomberg quotes El Said as saying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REMEMBER- Our privatization <\/strong><strong>roadmap is ready:<\/strong> The Madbouly government this week finalized its <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/9cad4496-55ac-4ba8-841f-4aff2a56e5ee\">state ownership policy<\/a> after months of consultations with representatives from the public and private sectors. Strategic stake sales are a key pillar of the privatization plan, which envisions more than doubling the private sector\u2019s role in the economy to 65% over the next three years, and attracting USD 40 bn in investment by 2026. Expanding the private sector is also in step with IMF guidance \u2014 something the government is paying close attention to as it looks to wrap <a

style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a welcome move for the Finance Ministry by helping to clear the backlog of goods held up at ports, FinMin advisor Mona Nasser told Al Hayah Al Youm. The ministry has in the past several weeks been conducting a sweep of imported shipments held up at customs to decide how to handle them on a case-by-case basis. The ministry recognizes that there are some hurdles beyond importers\u2019 control \u2014 such as difficulties securing letters of credit or delays in finalizing import procedures \u2014 the importers \u201cshould not be punished for,\u201d Nasser said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uw0mUIAernY\">watch, runtime: 3:01<\/a>). Under the Customs Act, goods that remain at ports for a certain period of time are deemed \u201cabandoned\u201d and typically sold at auction at a significant markdown.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything COP-related is getting fast-tracked out of customs:<\/strong> The government will facilitate the entry of any goods or equipment coming in for use at COP27, Nasser told Ala Mas\u2019ouleety (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3vOhPnn2TNc\">watch, runtime: 3:40<\/a>).

The Emirati company also signed an MoU to make more deliveries next year but it\u2019s not clear how much gas it\u2019s going to ship or over what time frame.<\/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\/around-the-world\/\">Around the World<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/debt\/\">debt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/emerging-markets\/\">emerging markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/imf\/\">IMF<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/sri-lanka\/\">Sri Lanka<\/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<div class=\"alignfull vertical-section wide-section blackboard wp-block-group issue-section\" id=\"549674\">\r\n    <div class=\"issue-section__content\">\r\n        <div class=\"alignwide wp-block-columns\">\r\n            <div class=\"wp-block-column sidebar-vertical-info\" style=\"flex-basis:22.8%\">\r\n                <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\r\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/resources.inktankir.com\/internal\/27466.svg\" style=\"width:80%\" alt=\"\" >\r\n                                    <\/figure>\r\n                <p>\r\n                    Our weekly deep dive into education in Egypt, from K-12 to post-secondary.                <\/p>\r\n                <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full mt-0 mb-0 img-white-bg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/resources.inktankir.com\/internal\/27480.svg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\r\n                <p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color\">\r\n                    Published every Monday in EnterpriseAM.                <\/p>\r\n                <div class=\"wp-block-buttons mt-0\">\r\n                    <div class=\"wp-block-button\">\r\n                        <a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/blackboard\/\">\r\n                            Read Blackboard                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"wp-block-column issue-section\">\r\n                <div class=\"story-section\">\r\n                    <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                        <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/div>\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                        <h3 class=\"story-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/blackboards\/private-schools-are-struggling-to-make-ends-meet-with-a-cap-on-tuition-fee-increases\/\">\r\n                            Private schools are struggling to make ends meet with a cap on tuition fee increases<\/a>\r\n                        <\/h3>\r\n                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/blackboards\/private-schools-are-struggling-to-make-ends-meet-with-a-cap-on-tuition-fee-increases\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Some of these schools will likely make losses this year, their operators told us, citing the cap as the main cause of financial strain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REFRESHER-<\/strong> Private schools have faced a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/05\/23\/education-minister-caps-private-school-tuition-increases-at-14-next-year-7-every-year-after-that\/\">strict cap<\/a> on tuition fee increases for the past four years, after parents lobbied the Education Ministry to end what they called unjust increases. Those that charge more than EGP 10k per year have been limited to raising costs by 7% per year on their 2015-2016 fees, which the government deemed their baseline year, meaning the actual increase increment has remained steady each year, EduHive CEO Karim Mostafa explained to Enterprise. Private schools with tuition fees below EGP 10k per year have a 10-25% cap on their annual tuition fee increases, Private Schools Owners Association Chairman Badawy Allam told Enterprise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The middle ground:<\/strong> The ministry agreed to let schools calculate the annual increase based on last academic year\u2019s fees, rather than the baseline year, in an effort to help education operators who are feeling the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/blackboards\/private-schools-egypt-feeling-pinch-inflation\/\">pinch of inflation<\/a> and facing higher costs, Mostafa told us. \u201cThey did meet with us, and they saw our point. But it\u2019s still not enough, especially with the FX rate on the rise,\u201d he said. Sources we spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/9d07062f-3a66-48c2-93a0-963bf92c5f93\">previously were hopeful<\/a> that the cap for costlier private and international schools may be revised within a year or two \u2014 possibly pushed up to 10%, or even scrapped completely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schools may request exceptions to the tuition rise cap, which the ministry grants or rejects on a case-by-case basis.<\/strong> El Alsson, for example, has had its request approved once in recent years, because the institution recently purchased a new campus on pricey land, has faced soaring building costs, and has gone through two EGP devaluations, El Alsson Executive Director Karim Rogers told us. But the process of applying for this exception is quite lengthy, requiring the submission of audited financial statements, balance sheets, and a hefty amount of paperwork. Other school operators, such as Mostafa, find the procedure \u2014 which begins with the school district office before moving on to the ministry for final approval \u2014 to be tedious, and the raises they receive can be modest and not worth the effort, he says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s better than nothing, but the increase in fees schools are charging falls far below the increase in costs \u2014 the biggest of which is their FX expenses<\/strong>, including expat teachers\u2019 salaries. FX payments \u201caccount for some 70% of our budget,\u201d Mostafa said. Schools wrapped up last year when the FX rate was at EGP 15.75 per USD 1, several international school managers told us. The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has allowed the currency to depreciate gradually since March, falling nearly 24% to stand at around EGP 19.54.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There have also been other sources of greater cost burdens for school operators<\/strong>, including an increase in ins. pay at a 15% annual rate for five years starting January 2020 \u2014 a total increase of 75% \u2014 as stipulated by the Social Security Act, school operators said in a letter to officials that was seen by Enterprise. The operators also cited an 833% increase in the cost of renewing expat work permits, a 25-fold increase in the price of new work licenses for non-Egyptians, a 300% increase in fees charged for renewing permits for international school books, and an <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/34Z3C0A\">obligatory 1% of annual revenue<\/a> that schools now need to pay to the government\u2019s Support Education fund.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schools still recognize that it\u2019s tough times for everyone and have been more accommodating to parents:<\/strong> Schools are allowing parents and guardians more flexibility with their payments, several sources we spoke to said. \u201cWe don\u2019t give them a hard time like we used to when it comes to following up on fees,\u201d which are paid in installments, Rogers said. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/2680539\">government regulations<\/a>, private schools are required to collect fees over four equal installments starting September, with no penalty or interest for late payments. The Education Ministry has also warned private schools against collecting additional fees under different guises, such as enrollment or acceptance fees, or charges for school uniforms, supplies, or \u201cdonations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>But at the end of the day, schools have bills to pay, while parents can opt for cheaper schools:<\/strong> \u201cWe have to fulfill our own financial commitments,\u201d Rogers told us. Since El Alsson moved to its new campus in 2017, it has yet to breakeven, he said. The bottom line is that private and international schools are private businesses, which are designed to create financial returns, Mostafa said. \u201cWe pay our taxes, and we pay ins.,\u201d he said, contrasting private education providers with players in other sectors that get government support or more leeway to adapt to market dynamics. \u201cWe have not received support when we bought our lands and built our schools, much like restaurants or hotels,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Tourism Ministry would not force a price cap on room hotels, and if their running costs increase, they have flexibility to implement the prices that work for them. We need to be treated like other sectors. If a real estate developer faces rising building costs, the company has the right to increase its prices accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Private school owners are entitled to <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elwatannews.com\/news\/details\/4957222\">15% of their earnings<\/a><\/strong><strong> under the Education Act<\/strong>, which is designed to encourage investment in education. But the ministry\u2019s decision to implement the cap is essentially blocking the law from taking effect, Mostafa points out, with private school margins rarely reaching 15%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In a bid to make ends meet, operators have already been cutting costs, but that\u2019s only going to go so far:<\/strong> \u201cWhat expenses can we eliminate? We can't turn off electricity or water, and we're spending our money on salaries, books, and education supplies,\u201d Rogers said.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>Your top education stories for the week:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Egypt will build nine new nonprofit universities<\/strong> in governorates including Alexandria, Assiut, Menoufia and Ismailia.
