as external sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Mandatory investment in stock market funds:<\/strong> Under the new rules, ins. and rein. players will need to invest at least 5% of their free funds in open-ended funds that invest in EGX-listed equities. A single fund investment cannot exceed 5% of an insurer\u2019s paid-up capital or 15% of the fund\u2019s total assets \u2014 whichever is lower. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A chunk of their paid-up capital is also going to EGX-listed stocks: <\/strong>The new rules also require ins. players to invest at least 2.5% of their paid-up capital in open-ended funds that invest in EGX-listed stocks.

Under the new rules, no more than 5% of a company\u2019s total investments can go to commodities and metals \u2014 be it through related funds or other instruments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What about real estate investment funds?<\/strong> Under the new regulations, personal ins. companies can invest up to 10% of their investment-allocated funds in real estate investment funds.

The investment in a single fund cannot exceed 5% of the ins. firm\u2019s paid-up capital or 15% of the fund\u2019s total assets \u2014 whichever is lower.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The exception: <\/strong>The caps don\u2019t apply to real estate funds the ins. company had a hand in setting up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART-<\/strong> Free funds refer to shareholder equity, used for general business operations and investments, while allocated funds are the reserves insurers must maintain to meet future claims.

now:<\/strong> The US Federal Reserve is expected to hold off on cutting interest rates until at least next quarter, with US President Donald Trump\u2019s recently announced tariffs igniting fresh concerns about inflation risks, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/rates-bonds\/fed-wait-months-next-rate-cut-tariffs-risk-inflation-flare-up-2025-02-11\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters poll<\/a> of 101 analysts conducted between 4-10 February. The survey results suggest that Fed officials will adopt a wait-and-see approach as they assess how tariffs and other policy changes could affect the economy before making any further rate cuts.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The forecast marks a stark shift from Reuters\u2019 January poll<\/strong>, which saw close to 60% of economists agree that the Fed would cut rates in March. In contrast, just 22 of the 101 analysts polled in February expected a cut in March, with another 45 penciling in a cut for 2Q 2025. Only 17 of the 99 analysts who offered end-of-year forecasts believed that the Fed would hold off on rate cuts until 2H, with another 16 not expecting any cuts this year. Futures markets, for their part, are currently pricing in just over a 50% probability of one rate cut by mid-2025. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The size of the year\u2019s cuts is also up in the air:<\/strong> The range of forecasts for the Fed\u2019s end-2025 rate target is unusually wide, spanning from 3.00-3.25% on the lower end to 4.50-4.75% on the high end.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The uncertainty is all thanks to Trump:<\/strong> The Fed and economic analysts alike have been bracing for the impact of Trump\u2019s policies since his election win in November 2024, with officials indicating that they are reluctant to make additional cuts until the full effect of his policies becomes clear.

Despite a threefold increase in production last year, SAF still accounts for less than 1% of global jet fuel demand, International Air Transport Association\u2019s (IATA) Gulf and Near East manager Khaled Al Eisawi said at an aviation conference in Dubai in November.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But first, what is SAF exactly?<\/strong> SAF is a biofuel used to power aircraft that is made from non-petroleum feedstock such as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/22e81fef-6d69-4cf8-9e3e-1ab2681067ac\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">waste cooking oil<\/a>, animal fat, and non-food crops.

But Europe\u2019s SAF supply chain isn\u2019t ready to meet demand, according to the S&P data. Despite plans to produce 1.5 mn mt of SAF next year, investment is lagging as Shell, Chevron, and BP delay projects over high CAPEX costs and policy uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Against this backdrop, Egypt\u2019s Oil Ministry launched the Sustainable Aviation Fuel<\/strong><strong> Production Company <\/strong>in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8fd53fdc-ed59-4219-9f14-e3ab535b0640\/oil-ministry-gets-the-ball-rolling-on-usd-530-mn-sustainable-aviation-fuel-project\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">November<\/a> of last year, committing USD 530 mn to develop SAF production facilities and integrate them with other petroleum firms.

The study is expected to inform investment decisions and production timelines as Egypt seeks to position itself as a regional SAF supplier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt is moving to streamline SAF feedstock procurement<\/strong>, with the Environment Ministry planning a platform to source waste cooking oil from the private sector, according to a Waste Management Regulatory Authority official. But with much of the supply chain dominated by informal collectors and refiners, the government will need to accelerate licensing efforts to bring them into the formal economy and ensure a stable, scalable supply for SAF production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While a regulatory framework for SAF production is in the works<\/strong>, industry insiders warn that clear pricing incentives and investment guarantees will be critical to positioning Egypt as a competitive supplier. The country\u2019s oil refining and derivatives market has increasingly been attracting investments, but SAF projects have yet to see the same level of capital inflows, leaving questions over whether Egypt can attract the funding needed to scale up production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Beyond SAF, Egypt explores wider biofuel production: <\/strong>The Egyptian government is also assessing alternative biofuel projects, with research underway into jatropha, rice straw, water hyacinths, and giant reed as feedstocks. Some of the output could be exported to Europe, given the bloc\u2019s increasing reliance on renewable fuels. Italian energy major Eni is working with Egyptian authorities on a biogas project with a capacity of 4.7 cubic meters per day, while Norwegian biogas firm Antec has expressed interest in entering the Egyptian market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">THE BIGGER PICTURE IN THE REGION- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Emirates Airlines is investing over <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/fdecf4ea-6e48-4a6b-ab6d-d7e30bfb312a\/emirates-earmarks-usd-90-bn-for-fleet-expansion-by-2032#:~:text=It%20is%20also,to%20scale%20production.\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 200 mn<\/a><\/strong><strong> in clean jet fuel<\/strong>, committing to SAF-powered flights from Singapore, Amsterdam, and London as part of its push toward net-zero emissions by 2050.
