Bonyan\u2019s private placement was originally slated to close Thursday, while the window to place offers for the public offering was set to end on Tuesday, 15 July. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters: Real estate players are closely following Bonyan\u2019s IPO<\/strong>, looking for signs that it be a key milestone in the rewriting of the financing playbook for the industry. Developers have long shouldered the burden of financing, and the creation of a publicly traded REIT-like vehicle could be a game-changer. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What does this mean for a market built on 8+ year payment plans?<\/strong> In short, a new liquidity lifeline.<\/p><ul>\n<li><strong>For developers:<\/strong> The ability to sell income-generating assets to institutional buyers like Bonyan means they could cash-out select assets faster and redeploy capital into new projects. This moves them away from being quasi-lenders and back to being builders, deleveraging their balance sheets in the process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For individual and institutional investors:<\/strong> It unlocks a liquid and accessible way to invest in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, professionally managed real estate, sidestepping the need for direct ownership and the hassles that come with it.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Long term, it could even help redefine the residential rental market: <\/strong>REITs could trigger the emergence of corporate landlords in Egypt, bringing structure and predictability to an incredibly fragmented market. While the initial focus of REITs is often commercial, the model paves the way for institutional players to own and operate residential portfolios, too. For would-be renters, that could mean an end to the days of stationery-shop rental contracts and patchworks of individual landlords in favour of operators with professionally managed properties, standardized contracts, and proper building maintenance.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A best-case scenario? <\/strong>We're told that Bonyan's IPO is already substantially oversubscribed, suggesting investors understand that the emergence of publicly traded REITs here could be key to attracting a new wave of institutional capital to the real estate industry. <\/p><p class=\"tag-border-left\">PSA- <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WEATHER- <\/strong>It\u2019s another sunny day in Cairo, with a high of 36\u00b0C and a low of 25\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s a little cooler in Alexandria<\/strong>, with a high of 31\u00b0C and a low of 22\u00b0C.<\/p><hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\"><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/7\/513.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">For decades, Sahel has been synonymous with summer's embrace: clear waters, crisp breezes, and vibrant nights.

Google has firmly re-entered the frontlines of that race with the launch of Gemini 2.5, which has quickly become a top favorite for many, including us here at EnterpriseAM HQ.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We sat down with Google\u2019s Regional Product &amp; Marketing Director Najeeb Jarrar (<\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/njarrar\/?originalSubdomain=ae\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/strong><strong>) to unpack how the tech giant is thinking about user behavior, AI personalization, the future of Google Search and AI Overview<\/strong>, and how Google is balancing innovation with safety in one of its most dynamic markets. Below are 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>EnterpriseAM: Google I\/O 2025 last May delivered plenty for the AI crowd and beyond. What were the headline themes you focused on this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Najeeb Jarrar: <\/strong>At I\/O this year, we focused on three main themes showing how Google is pushing forward with AI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The first theme is making our AI models more intelligent. <\/strong>We shipped Gemini 2.5 \u2014 our most advanced model yet. We showcased new capabilities like Veo3, the ability to generate videos from prompts that include sound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Second is agents<\/strong>, or systems that can take action or build something on your behalf. We showed this inside Gemini and also in Chrome with Project Mariner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The third theme is personalization.<\/strong> Right now, AI is great at handling abstract questions, but we\u2019re focused on making it more useful for individuals differently by understanding their context, history, and interests. This could involve an agent booking a trip, recommending home decorations, or suggesting gifts based on available information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And the overarching goal is providing AI abilities globally<\/strong>, across languages and use cases, with the right safety, trust, and accuracy. This is exemplified by the AI Overview on Google Search, which uses generative AI to provide direct answers and has been rolled out across the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: In this evolution of AI, have you started to see Gemini or other tools cannibalizing your other products?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>NJ: <\/strong>We don\u2019t see this as cannibalization, it\u2019s an evolution. Search has already transformed from ten blue links to images, cards, knowledge panels, and maps. Generative AI is simply the next step in that evolution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Google has been deeply invested in AI for 25 years<\/strong>, at the forefront of developing algorithms and infrastructure for machine processing, and integrating AI tools into our products and services early on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Do you see this evolution in user behavior?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>NJ: <\/strong>Absolutely. AI Overview on Google Search now serves 1.5 bn users every month \u2014 it\u2019s the most used AI product today. People find it useful, and it keeps them coming back to learn more and ask better questions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Google is a verb, but Gemini isn't \u2014 at least not yet. How do you see the future of your user experience, especially when you face unprecedented competition?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>NJ:<\/strong> We\u2019ll keep finding new ways to deliver value. That\u2019s been part of Google\u2019s DNA from the beginning, leading to products like Google Image Search, Google News, and even prayer times in Search \u2014 all built to meet user needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Same goes for Gemini. <\/strong>Whether you use it as an app, in Gmail or Docs, or in AI Overview \u2014 it\u2019s all built to be genuinely helpful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Honestly, we don\u2019t know what we\u2019ll call it in the future.<\/strong> What matters is obsessing over the user\u2019s needs and the problem we\u2019re trying to solve. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Online content about Egypt and the region is limited, even in English.

Over the last 15 years, content from the region has exploded \u2014 not just on websites, but also in apps, video, audio, and digital books. The Egyptian Knowledge Bank, created by Egypt\u2019s Education Ministry, is a massive source of digital Arabic content.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And the way AI training works is changing. <\/strong>We don\u2019t need massive data dumps anymore.

The uptick was led by a rise in issuances in the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain, while Saudi Arabia saw a small decline.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Holding the line: <\/strong>The ratings agency expects the upward foreign currency issuances trend to continue for the rest of the year, accounting for USD 70-80 bn in 2025. The regional geopolitical situation is not expected to see escalation, and the US Federal Reserve\u2019s expected interest rate cut should also bolster the market. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A different story for local issuances: <\/strong>Local currency issuances shed 26.2% to log USD 59.8 bn in 1H, expected to continue its downward trend in the second half of the year. The decline was attributed to lower local currency issuances in core markets, most notably in government issuances from Saudi Arabia, where liquidity is channeled into financing Vision 2030 projects. Malaysia is also seeing lower borrowing needs after it managed to reduce financial deficits.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>MEANWHILE- <\/strong>Sustainable sukuk issuance rose by 27% y-o-y to USD 9.3 bn, with banks accounting for 50% of issuance volumes, while Saudi Arabian issuers accounted for 60%. The rise was aided by the \u201csignificant\u201d role of the Islamic Development Bank, and the high financing needs of Saudi banks.<\/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>, after US President Trump signaled he won\u2019t budge on the 1 August tariffs deadline. Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng is down 0.8%, while Japan\u2019s Nikkei remains unchanged, and the Shanghai Composite is up 0.3%. Meanwhile, Wall Street futures are holding steady, as investors wait for more clarity on the tariffs situation.<\/p><div class=\"stock-ticker-panel\">\n<table class=\"table stock-ticker-table

Egypt\u2019s <\/strong><strong>real estate <\/strong><strong>sector. <\/strong>After years of surging prices and off-plan hype, the market is entering what Cairo-based consulting firm The Board Consulting <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/q1-2025-real-estate-newsletter-the-board-consulting-egypt-diqxf\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">calls<\/a> a phase of \u201cstrategic realism.\u201d Sales inched up in nominal terms, but signs of fatigue \u2014 from delivery delays to stagnant resale activity and cautious foreign buyers \u2014 suggest a more measured period ahead.<\/p>\n<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>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Pricing is outpacing fundamentals:<\/strong> Property prices have surged 200% since 2022 \u2014 far outstripping the 13% rise in GDP per capita since 2019. This mismatch between asset values and purchasing power is cooling demand, as buyers increasingly balk at inflated valuations. Developers are now under pressure to adopt more realistic pricing strategies and offer more rational, transparent payment plans to lure hesitant consumers back in. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Speculators are pulling back:<\/strong> The price surge over 2023-2024 created a new segment of speculators \u2014 buyers who snapped up multiple units with the intention of reselling them, rather than living in or holding the properties as investments, The Board Consulting\u2019s Managing Director and co-founder Ahmed Zaki told EnterpriseAM. That segment is now pulling back as the resale market weakens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Liquidity dries up in the resale market:<\/strong> The resale market is showing clear signs of stagnation, with transactions limited largely to cash-only sakes. A lack of completed, livable communities \u2014 and limited payment flexibility \u2014 is choking liquidity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Cash-only sales are holding the market back:<\/strong> Unlike primary sales, where payment terms are stretched over 7-10 years, the resale market offers little room for installment-based purchasing, reducing its attractiveness for retail buyers. Resale prices can be as much as 30% lower than primary sales, but the absence of mortgage options and the cash-heavy nature of the market are holding back transactions, Zaki said. Buyers are opting to go straight to developers offering long-term installment plans instead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Project delivery delays are piling up:<\/strong> Units sold in the boom years of 2022 and 2023 are now approaching handover, but ballooning construction costs and FX-driven budget overruns are making it harder to deliver on time. Delivery delays have become widespread across developers, and backloaded payment plans are being used to soften the blow \u2014 and reduce buyer complaints. Some developers have had to delay handovers by two to three years due to mispriced pre-devaluation contracts, Zaki said. Finishing costs alone have more than doubled since 2022, with luxury finishes now running EGP 12k per sqm, up from EGP 6k just three years ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sales volume looks steady \u2014 but FX-adjusted returns tell a different story:<\/strong> Some 18.5k units were sold in 1Q 2025, effectively flat compared to the same period last year, reflecting a cooling in growth momentum. While total sales by the top 10 developers hit EGP 290 bn, the FX-adjusted value of those sales fell significantly due to the float of the EGP \u2014 a sobering signal for foreign investors chasing hard-currency gains. The market is still struggling to find a sustainable price-demand equilibrium. Zaki told us that 1Q sales were supported by strong showings from Palm Hills and Talaat Moustafa Group, which together drove half the volume among the top 10 developers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A look at prices:<\/strong> The average unit price stood at EGP 15.7 mn during the quarter, up 25% y-o-y. But this marks a slowdown from the 2023 pace \u2014 which saw average prices nearly double. This deceleration reflects more cautious consumer sentiment, with buyers pushing back against steep hikes and developers facing resistance to further price inflation. In response, developers are increasingly offering more efficient layouts and smaller unit sizes to meet buyer expectations and keep prices within reach, Zaki said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Investor sentiment is shifting away from real estate:<\/strong> Stability in the EGP exchange rate has come with a tradeoff: Lower hard-currency returns. This, combined with rising yields on local treasuries, has pulled investor focus toward fixed income. As a result, real estate is increasingly seen as a less compelling hedge against currency volatility. Speculators who had bulk-bought units with short-term resale strategies in mind are now exiting the market, with many forced to cancel purchases made on thin capital \u2014 resulting in some developers losing over EGP 20 bn in sales, Zaki said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Star performers are leaning on execution + flexible terms:<\/strong> Palm Hills led the pack during the quarter, thanks to steady new launches and innovative payment plans. Talaat Moustafa Group became the first Egyptian real estate developer to surpass EGP 1 tn in cumulative sales. Emaar Misr, meanwhile, continued to dominate the luxury coastal segment \u2014 especially with Gulf buyers at its flagship Soul project in the North Coast. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New launches are driving demand in key areas:<\/strong> Palm Hills and Mountain View\u2019s newly announced mega project Jirian in Sixth of October was a bright spot in an otherwise cautious landscape. Zaki pointed to continued strong demand in the North Coast \u2014 which accounted for 40% of A and B-tier developer sales in 2024, overtaking East Cairo for the first time. Demand is also solid in East and West Cairo due to new projects like New Heliopolis and Mostaqbal City, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Financial discipline is critical in the new reality:<\/strong> Payment plans need to be flexible without tipping into unsustainable leverage, and cash flow strategies must prioritize cost control and smart procurement. Zaki told us that top developers are now strengthening procurement and finance teams to navigate cost volatility, especially after many priced the USD at EGP 70-90 last year and are now readjusting amid currency stabilization. Payment terms are also being tweaked to include longer tenors \u2014 up to 15 years in some cases \u2014 with tools like bullet payments used to keep cash flow balanced despite higher costs.
