regulations of the Water Resources and Irrigation Law that increase the occupancy rates of riverbank land licensed to tourist facilities, clubs, and other recreational establishments to 40%, with an additional allotted 10% if the facility includes marina activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#2- Maritime cooperation with Oman gets the nod:<\/strong> The Madbouly cabinet also approved a presidential decree on a maritime transport and port cooperation agreement with Oman. The agreement \u2014 signed during President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's visit to Oman in 2022 \u2014 aims to develop economic and trade relations between the two countries through organizing maritime activities, removing obstacles to maritime transport development, and exchanging expertise in port management and vessel maintenance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#3- Alstom gets longer lease for railway complex:<\/strong> The cabinet approved extending French rolling stock manufacturer Alstom's land lease period to 30 years from 15 years for its planned railway manufacturing complex in Borg El Arab in Alexandria. The extension comes as the company plans significant investments in the complex, including two factories on 40 acres alongside an additional 50 feddans for future expansion. The first phase of the project\u2019s development will see a components factory built on 13 acres, while the second phase will add a vehicle factory on 27 acres.<\/p>\n<p

The ministry plans to open the proposal to public consultation with parents, trustees, experts, and the media before seeking parliamentary approval.

rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports. The strategy sees the central bank ensuring the currency\u2019s depreciation is at a lower rate than inflation to maintain purchasing power. Despite the TRY shedding 16% compared to the USD in nominal terms in 2024, it posted its largest gains since 2007 in terms of the real appreciation measure. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That\u2019s great news for carry traders, who stand to gain from an appreciating TRY while<\/strong><strong> raking in massive gains from TRY-denominated bonds<\/strong> that carry 50% yields or higher, the business information service explained.

The currency-stabilizing policies have made the country\u2019s carry trade more appealing by cutting risks associated with shock devaluations, Bloomberg says. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The downside risk:<\/strong> Higher demand for imports could come about as an unintended result of Turkey\u2019s real appreciation policy for the TRY, weakening the country\u2019s trade position, Bloomberg\u2019s Turkey economist Selva Bahar Baziki said, adding that the dynamic could put pressure on policymakers. Despite there not being any indication that the scenario is playing out, investors nonetheless need to be wary that the TRY-denominated carry trade is \u201calready quite over-crowded,\u201d portfolio manager at William Blair Investment Management in London Daniel Wood cautioned. <\/p><p class=\"tag-border-left\">ALSO FROM PLANET FINANCE-<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our friends at EFG Hermes kicked off the new year advising beauty retailer Nice One on<\/strong><strong> their IPO<\/strong>, which saw the company make its debut on Tadawul\u2019s main market yesterday, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/1\/337.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement (pdf)<\/a>.

Speaking to us this week is Mostafa El Baltagy (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mostafa-el-beltagy-240b8342\/?originalSubdomain=eg\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>). Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My name is Mostafa El Beltagy.<\/strong> Beyond my job title, I am someone who\u2019s very keen to help the tech startup ecosystem in Egypt. I sit on the board of a number of startups, and I help mentor a lot of other young entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Nawy was born out of a problem I faced personally.<\/strong> After moving back to Egypt after some time living abroad, I wanted to invest in real estate. I went to my cousin \u2014 who is one of the co-founders of the company and who was working in real estate at the time \u2014 to ask him where I should buy. At the time, he recommended New Giza \u2014 and he never really gave me a concrete reason why, he just told me to trust him. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That\u2019s when I realized that there\u2019s a problem with this market.<\/strong> As a consumer, you\u2019re making one of your biggest investments with little-to-no data about what\u2019s going on. In my case, I was lucky to have someone who I was sure was looking out for me and my interests \u2014 most people aren\u2019t so lucky. The question became, how can I as a consumer get transparency. That was the vision from which the company started. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We collected the information ourselves from 200+ developers across Egypt,<\/strong> and listed all their inventory comprehensively so that, as a consumer, you could actually compare between different units and developments. In addition, when consumers reach out to our property consultants and sales agents, they\u2019re equally incentivized to sell you property anywhere. As a result, most brokerages will close with 20-30 developers a year \u2014 we close with over 100. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For our next product, we realized that the properties that sell the fastest are the ones that <\/strong><strong>are delivered the soonest.<\/strong> So we asked, why is it that no one is buying existing properties? The reason is that there\u2019s no payment plan for existing properties. We realized that this doesn\u2019t make sense, and wanted to address this by creating a product that makes buying resale properties with a payment plan almost as easy as buying a new build property from a developer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The next product we launched, Nawy Shares, was built to address the problem of<\/strong> <strong>getting<\/strong> <strong>access to more customers<\/strong> looking to invest in the market. The question was, how do we bring this number from 1 mn people to 15 mn people? The way to do that was through fractionalization. We built an investment product that allows people to invest in real estate through Nawy Shares, and we\u2019re now working with the Financial Regulatory Authority to fit it under a regulatory framework. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our last line of business that\u2019s currently in progress is our B2B business \u2014 dubbed<\/strong> <strong>Nawy Partners <\/strong>\u2014 which gives brokerages access to the inventory of all developers in one place. It\u2019s about enabling and solving the problems of the brokerage ecosystem by aggregating all the information in one place. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Generally, I wake up around the same time my kids go to school.<\/strong> So I\u2019m up by 7:30am-ish. I spend about 30-45 minutes going through social media, news, EnterpriseAM, and checking the business\u2019 numbers from the previous day. I leave my house 30-45 minutes later, and spend my commute getting on calls, following up on things, and getting a headstart on my day. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My role is about maintaining the vision of the company.<\/strong> My time is mostly spent working on building new things, rather than operating different aspects of our business that have become independent and fully operational. This, along with investor relations and ensuring that the company has the right amount of funds, is where the bulk of my time goes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Mondays are when I schedule all my weekly reviews.<\/strong> There are no breaks, no lunches, it keeps going until the day is over. All the other days of the week depend on what\u2019s going on at a given time, and there\u2019s really no consistency there. I usually leave the office by 6:30-7pm, and I like to be home before my kids\u2019 bedtime so that I can put them to bed. Then sometimes, I\u2019ll have to get on calls after that. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Putting my kids to sleep is the biggest constant in my day <\/strong>\u2014 but I also like to switch off by around 10pm if there are no calls, which is time I usually spend with my wife or watching Netflix before we relax and crash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When it comes to being organized, I generally believe that the more basic your approach,<\/strong> <strong>the better. <\/strong>It\u2019s all about being tied to your priorities \u2014 and my to-do-list actually reflects those priorities. I\u2019m very conscious about what I allow onto my calendar, because I would otherwise be dragged into things that aren\u2019t necessarily adding the most value. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>On a professional level, I aim to continue what we\u2019re doing with Nawy,<\/strong> continue to grow our business lines in Egypt and expand into other markets in the coming years. When I eventually leave the day-to-day hustle behind, I\u2019d love to spend time giving back. I want to be even more active in helping young entrepreneurs with their businesses, and I want to spend more time focusing on philanthropy \u2014 mainly in education. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If you do something you like, your work is your life.<\/strong> I don\u2019t believe that someone should be working in order to facilitate life \u2014 we spend too much time at work to not want to do what we\u2019re doing. The bigger balance is between family, health, and work. I do prioritize spending time with my family, especially Saturdays, and I try to make the time I spend with my family as high-quality as it can be. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When reacting to an adverse situation, my mom used to say \u201cI\u2019m dealing with God, so I\u2019m<\/strong> <strong>going to do these specific things.\u201d <\/strong>It never made sense to me at the time, but what I\u2019ve learned from that is that you deal with your own ethical and moral compass irrespective of how other people are acting. <\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div
