The project \u2014 which is being funded internally \u2014 will span 93k sqm and is slated for delivery within five years. It will feature 13 administrative and commercial buildings, as well as a five-star hotel with 150-200 rooms.

The answer lies in understanding how people's lives and expectations evolve and ensuring that organizations adapt accordingly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Decades ago, a business school graduate\u2019s dream job was likely with a multinational<\/strong><strong> corporation<\/strong> \u2014 a big bank, consulting firm, or investment house. Today\u2019s graduates, however, are drawn to vibrant, agile, and innovative environments, often in startups or dynamic firms where they can make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For an institution like HSBC, this presents both challenges and opportunities. <\/strong>How do we stay attractive to top talent in an era where rigid structures and traditional hierarchies are losing appeal? The answer is twofold: we must offer an environment that feels meaningful, engaging, and flexible, while also rethinking how we work and interact with the new generation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One of the biggest shifts in workplace culture has been the growing demand for<\/strong><strong> flexibility and trust.<\/strong> People no longer want to be micromanaged or adhere to rigid schedules, instead they want to be trusted to deliver results. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated this shift, with remote work becoming important. Many of us were surprised by how well employees adapted, and productivity improved in many cases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>At HSBC, we\u2019ve embraced this new approach.<\/strong> We recognize that flexibility is here to stay, but collaboration and in-person interaction remain important. Our model is about balance. Employees come in for tasks that require physical presence and work remotely when they don\u2019t. This flexibility extends beyond where we work; it\u2019s about how we present ourselves. For instance, a high-stakes meeting or client meeting requires a suit, while a brainstorming session calls for smart casual attire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019ve redesigned our offices to reflect this new mindset. <\/strong>Gone are the days of executives in closed-off offices. Today, our senior leaders now sit alongside their teams in open spaces reflecting our commitment to transparency and collaboration. We\u2019ve embraced a flexible hot-desking model, enabling our colleagues to move freely across diverse collaborative areas, selecting the workspace that best supports their working style and needs every day. This shift fosters a culture of openness, approachability, and engagement, breaking down traditional hierarchies and promoting meaningful dialogue at all levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This shift is about creating an environment that nurtures talent.<\/strong> Employees need a workplace that respects their time, fosters collaboration, and values their contributions. The future of work is about culture \u2014 building an organization that people want to be part of, where they feel trusted, heard, and valued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">If you want to get a sneak peek on how we implemented this in our Head Office in Egypt, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.about.hsbc.com.eg\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">click<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.about.hsbc.com.eg\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">here to watch this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sherif Aref, Chief Operating Officer, HSBC Egypt<\/strong><\/p>\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\/a-message-from-hsbc\/\">A MESSAGE FROM HSBC<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/hsbc\/\">HSBC<\/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<section id=\"663799\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"663799\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Economy<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/04\/15\/standard-chartered-pushes-back-rate-cut-expectations-but-sees-a-bigger-may-cut\/\">\r\n                            Standard Chartered pushes back rate cut expectations \u2014 but sees a bigger May cut                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\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\/2025\/04\/15\/standard-chartered-pushes-back-rate-cut-expectations-but-sees-a-bigger-may-cut\/\" 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();

The lender expects this wave of hot money to reverse course soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And even with mounting pressures, Standard Chartered expects Egypt\u2019s economy to <\/strong><strong>grow at a 4.5-6% clip by the end of 2026. <\/strong>Inflation is seen cooling to an average of 10-15% in 2025 \u2014 even as energy subsidies are phased out \u2014 before reaching the target of 7% \u00b12 percentage points by 2026. As for the EGP, the bank ruled out a new float in the short term and expects the exchange rate to weaken slightly to EGP 52 against the greenback by the end of this year, and to EGP 54 a piece by the end of 2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Slim believes the MENA region is in a \u201cvery unique position\u201d compared to the rest of the <\/strong><strong>world when it comes to tariffs<\/strong>, with Gulf-Asia trade ties expected to cushion the impact of US tariffs \u2014 potentially even fueling a regional growth bump. The impact of US tariffs on MENA trade is expected to be limited over the next three months, as the decision coincides with OPEC\u2019s move to ramp up oil production. The region exports an estimated USD 50 bn worth of goods to the US \u2014 half of which are petroleum products that were excluded from the new tariff regime. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That said, the bank sees three key indirect risks to MENA economies stemming from the<\/strong><strong> tariff war:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oil prices could fall further amid rising production,<\/strong> which would hit GCC economies \u2014 with the exception of Qatar, the UAE, and Oman, which are expected to remain relatively resilient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Massive Gulf pledges to the US could come at a cost<\/strong>, as Gulf sovereign investors have committed some USD 1.4 tn from the UAE and another USD 1 tn from Saudi Arabia to invest in the US \u2014 which could divert capital away from local and regional development, especially given softening oil revenues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>While emerging-market currencies typically weaken under tariff pressure, the <\/strong><strong>opposite has happened.<\/strong> This relative strength could support EM economies in the short term.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The lender <\/strong><strong>is doubling down on green, infrastructure financing in Egypt.<\/strong> Mobilizing financing from banks and multilateral development institutions is one of Standard Chartered\u2019s core roles in Egypt, particularly to support capital spending, infrastructure, public utilities, digital transformation, and green projects, Standard Chartered Egypt CEO <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1e154e43-a433-4ffc-b92f-e917d8a04945\/%253cmark%253emohammed-gad%253c%2Fmark%253e,-ceo-of-standard-chartered-egypt\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Mohammed Gad<\/a> said.

<\/strong><strong>coping with Trump\u2019s tariff war<\/strong>, as Kelma Akhira\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi called up National Bank of Egypt CEO Mohamed El Etreby to get a health-check on the

causing the exchange rate to spike before stabilizing again.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a strong rebound in foreign appetite in recent days. At NBE alone, about USD 750 mn exited during the peak of the crisis \u2014 but USD 650-700 mn has already come back, roughly 80-90% of what was left,\u201d El Etreby added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>El Etreby praised Central Bank Governor Hassan Abdalla\u2019s messaging during recent <\/strong><strong>meetings with Saudi investors.<\/strong> \u201cHis most important message was that the USD exchange rate in Egypt will be driven solely by supply and demand, and that the sharp spikes we saw in the past won\u2019t be repeated under the flexible FX regime,\u201d he said. \u201cFixing the exchange rate for extended periods wasn\u2019t the right policy. We must learn from the past \u2014 and after two years of flotation, the indicators point to stabilization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What about <\/strong><strong>high-yield CDs?<\/strong> With inflation on the decline, El Etreby said the bank will wait for the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee decision this Thursday before making a call on whether to keep issuing high-yield savings certificates offering 27% annual or 23.5% monthly interest. \u201cWe\u2019re still observing the market,\u201d he said, adding that it\u2019s premature to say whether the certificates will be discontinued.<\/p>\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\/economy\/\">economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/last-nights-talk-shows\/\">LAST NIGHT\u2019S TALK SHOWS<\/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<section id=\"663806\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"663806\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Also on our Radar<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/04\/15\/govt-pledges-to-settle-cotton-farmer-dues-before-the-end-of-the-month-plus-national-authority-of-tunnels-macro-group-chi-consumer-healthcare-investments-enverson-international\/\">\r\n                            Egypt pledges to settle cotton farmer dues before the end of the month.

These investors tend to be more reactive to local cues and sentiment-driven triggers, such as the recent <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b04c7948-4ceb-4edb-84e3-5c6c9f2fe953\/a-flexible-fx-regime-is-key-as-egypt-faces-trump-turmoil,-aboul-naga-tells-investors-in-dubai\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">reaffirmation of Egypt\u2019s commitment to a flexible FX regime<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This means that any sell-off is less likely to spiral<\/strong>, because retail traders account for the lion\u2019s share of turnover in Egypt, 3 Way Securities Chair Rania Jacoub told us <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/88c9269d-b92b-4b90-ae84-627421cde876\/local-institutional-investors-cash-out-amid-global-market-jitters\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">last week<\/a>. Retail investors tend to be more speculative, and this behavior could underpin a near-term correction rather than a sustained downturn.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In contrast, regional peers like the Tadawul and UAE markets are more exposed to <\/strong><strong>global investor flows.<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/ksa\/en\/news\/story\/39cd78c2-1e67-43cc-ba94-278293c1bd2e\/this-morning:-ipos-seem-to-be-staying-the-course,-unphased-by-tariffs\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Foreign investors were net sellers<\/a> on the Tadawul last week, offloading SAR 2.2 bn worth of equities, while local investors bought SAR 2.3 bn.

Case in point: Tadawul closed yesterday with a turnover of SAR 6.5 bn \u2014 23x the EGX\u2019s 90-day average.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Crude overhang is also weighing on Gulf markets<\/strong>, as weakness in crude continues to pressure sentiment and the earnings outlook for Gulf corporates, especially state-linked and large-cap names. This pressure is reflected in YTD performances of important market constituents, including Aramco \u2014 the Tadawul\u2019s heavyweight \u2014 which is down -7.5%, the DFM-listed DEWA in the red -10.3%, and Abu Dhabi\u2019s Taqa at -2.2%.<\/p><p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed this morning <\/strong>following a tech rally in US markets, with Japan\u2019s Nikkei up 1%, and Hang Seng (Hong Kong) virtually unchanged, while Shanghai Composite is inching down 0.4%.

<strong>E<\/strong><strong>gyptian a<\/strong><strong>gribusiness <\/strong><strong>SEKEM is placing a bold wager on the idea that <\/strong><strong>sustainable <\/strong><strong>agriculture is not just good ethics \u2014 it\u2019s good economics.<\/strong> The company has emerged as one of Egypt\u2019s prominent advocates for true cost accounting (TCA), a framework that captures the full environmental, health, and social costs embedded in agricultural production and translates them into monetary terms. The goal, says SEKEM\u2019s CEO Helmy Abouleish in comments to EnterpriseAM, is simple \u2014 reprice food in a way that reflects its real cost to society, not just what consumers pay at the till.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In a wide-ranging conversation with EnterpriseAM, Abouleish outlined SEKEM\u2019S<\/strong> <strong>approach to embedding TCA into its entire value chain<\/strong>, its impact on long-term decision-making, and why he believes Egypt could become a leader in the regional transition to sustainable agriculture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART- <\/strong>True cost accounting is a systems-based methodology grounded in frameworks developed by institutions like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/agrifood-economics\/publications\/detail\/en\/c\/1661506\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">the UN Food and Agriculture Organization<\/a>. It quantifies externalities that markets typically ignore, including soil degradation, CO2 emissions, and long-term health costs, as well as positive social outcomes like rural livelihoods and employment quality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">THE BUSINESS CASE FOR TCA ADOPTION-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SEKEM\u2019s decision to adopt TCA was driven by its ability to reveal what Abouleish <\/strong><strong>describes as a \u201cproactive and potentially more cost-effective\u201d path to agriculture.<\/strong> \u201cThrough the true cost accounting methodology, we discovered that organic and biodynamic products are actually cheaper when we factor in the hidden and externalized costs,\u201d he tells us. \u201cThese costs include impacts on health, society, and the environment, such as water usage and CO2 emissions. If these costs are properly accounted for, organic products become the more economical choice.\u201d The aim, he says, is \u201cto enhance decision-making processes for policymakers, businesses, farmers, investors, and consumers alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters: <\/strong>Abouleish emphasizes that TCA doesn\u2019t directly improve environmental outcomes, but it helps measure them. The real benefits lie in organic and biodynamic farming, which reduce environmental harm, lower emissions, and conserve water. These methods also carry health advantages by limiting exposure to pesticide residues and contribute to rural development by creating better-paying jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">PUTTING THE MODEL TO WORK-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SEKEM adopts true cost accounting throughout its product portfolio<\/strong> \u2014 ranging from food and textiles to healthcare and spices. The group sees strong market potential in four key categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Organic cotton: <\/strong>SEKEM\u2019s NatureTex has pioneered organic cotton in Egypt, producing babywear, home textiles, and toys for a growing sustainable fashion segment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biodynamic foods: <\/strong>Its subsidiary Isis Organic offers a range of organic products, including vegetables, honey, dates, oils, and beverages, targeting rising demand for healthy food.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phyto-pharma: <\/strong>Atos Pharma \u2014 another SEKEM company \u2014 develops plant-based medical products that align with global trends in natural healthcare and tap into Egypt\u2019s expanding wellness market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs and spices: <\/strong>The company\u2019s Lotus Organic Herbs &amp; Spices supplies organic herbs and spices to local and international markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While TCA adoption remains quite nascent throughout Egypt and the region at large, <\/strong><strong>Abouleish sees more companies embracing it over time.<\/strong> \u201cNotably, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rdnastore.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOorYkVnN-m647WZTFcoUA29RbKSr_CrwrOMUIurd56YWFRVCtfs_\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Rdna Store<\/a> \u2014 one of our partners \u2014 has recently conducted a true cost accounting study for organic beef, marking a significant and promising first step in this direction.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Big plans ahead: <\/strong>The company\u2019s \u201cEconomy of Love\u201d project aims to convert 40k farmers to sustainable agriculture practices by the end of this year, with plans to reach 250k farmers by 2028. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Regional plans are also starting to take root: <\/strong>SEKEM <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/01e1df44-bc8c-41c7-b661-3826b75deb7b\/2024:-a-year-for-expansions-abroad\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">previously announced<\/a> its subsidiary Isis Organic\u2019s plans to expand into Saudi Arabia and Algeria with two new production facilities. The move comes in response to growing demand for organic products in both markets, according to Abouleish. While organic farming is less prevalent there than in Egypt, SEKEM aims to build local supply chains by encouraging farmers to adopt organic methods and meet rising domestic demand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">THE CHALLENGES-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SEKEM\u2019s own transition to TCA wasn\u2019t without friction: <\/strong>Abouleish acknowledges it remains a hard sell for many. \u201cThe primary challenge in promoting sustainable agriculture lies in advocating for upfront cost investments,\u201d he says. Many farmers are hesitant to transition to organic farming due to certification costs, changes in input regimes, and the time it takes for soil to regenerate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The solution: <\/strong>\u201cTo overcome financial barriers, strategic pre-funding mechanisms can cover initial investments, ensuring that organic farming becomes a financially sustainable choice for farmers,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Debunking the cost myth of going organic: <\/strong>Another common misconception, he adds, is that \u201ctrue cost accounting leads to more expensive products.\u201d That may be true in the short term, but \u201cin the medium and long term, it will become clear that our methods result in cheaper products when all the side effects and impacts are factored into the calculation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Rolling out true cost accounting in Egypt won\u2019t be easy.<\/strong> Abouleish points to a mix of structural and cultural hurdles, saying that the model needs informed consumers, bold policymakers willing to legislate for sustainability, and strong backing from funding agencies. Add to that a pressing need for capacity building, research, and education to mainstream the concept \u2014 without which, he says, TCA simply won\u2019t take root.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content
