Under the previous system, construction and contracting services were taxed at a flat 5% schedule rate without allowing companies to deduct input VAT. The government is estimated to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8f42067c-d0e3-4c25-8ec8-cd5cd9e0f444\/house-approves-amendments-to-vat-law-on-select-items\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">make<\/a> an extra EGP 200 bn in tax revenues from the recent VAT amendments, which also include taxing crude and cigarette tax hikes. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The meetings addressed several key issues<\/strong>, including the interconnection of the e-invoicing system, the awarding entities, and the tax calculation method for projects that were awarded before the VAT amendments passed or those still under construction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While the ETA insists on enforcing the new law from the date of issuance<\/strong>, investors are pushing for a more lenient approach to address issues related to projects that are already underway, our sources said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Contractors are unsure how to file their monthly VAT tax returns<\/strong>, a source from the EFCBC told us. The key issue is the lack of an agreement on how to handle projects awarded before the new amendments were issued. There is also the issue of existing inventory, the source highlighted, adding that if companies are not allowed to deduct the tax they have already paid on their stock of equipment, supplies, and building materials from operational cost, this could cause huge losses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Case in point: <\/strong>Our source from the EFCBC said that his company purchased electrical transformers, motors, and other equipment for projects when the EGP \/ USD exchange rate was lower and shipping costs were favorable. Although the company paid the VAT on these items at the time of purchase, the ETA is refusing to allow the deduction of this tax, because the equipment has not been installed yet, the source said. This will result in about EGP 9 mn in losses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As a result<\/strong>, many companies have contacted the ETA, requesting to deduct the tax paid on equipment they already had in stock, the EFCBC sources noted.

<\/strong><strong>to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook, the damage may already be done<\/strong>, Wall Street Journal Chief Economics Commentator Greg Ip warned in his weekly \u2014 and EnterpriseAM fan favourite \u2014 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/economy\/central-banking\/get-ready-for-the-end-of-fed-independence-5a52a824?mod=hp_lead_pos2\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Capital Account column<\/a>. Analysts cited by Ip say that the attempt \u2014 the first of its kind in the Fed\u2019s 111-year history \u2014 may be a turning point. If Trump succeeds, he would effectively draw the curtains on the central bank\u2019s independence from presidential control, a principle that has underpinned US monetary policy since 1951.<\/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 markets \u201care not properly priced for what increasingly seems likely to be a rupture in<\/strong><strong> Fed independence<\/strong>,\u201d Evercore ISI analysts noted. So far, optimism around rate cuts has helped keep stock markets buoyant, driven by Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s recent comments stating that tariffs are unlikely to stoke sustained inflation.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But if the Fed becomes more beholden to political pressure, investors will quickly have <\/strong><strong>to adapt to a very different economic future. <\/strong>Trump\u2019s broader strategy seems aimed at stacking the Fed board with loyalists, with the purpose of letting future rate decisions be informed not just by data, but by campaign cycles, potentially diluting the Fed\u2019s core focus on inflation.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If Cook is successfully replaced off the back of fraud allegations \u2014 a topic Trump has a <\/strong><strong>lot of experience in \u2014 Trump appointees would hold four of seven governor seats<\/strong>, giving him leverage over monetary policy even without directly removing Fed Chair Jerome Powell. \u201cOnce we have a majority, housing is gonna swing and it\u2019s gonna be great,\u201d Trump said on Tuesday. <\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Trump\u2019s current and prospective Fed nominees are openly political \u2014 a major break from <\/strong><strong>past practice. <\/strong>His candidates now signal clear policy stances aligned with his administration. Take Stephen Miran, who, while serving as an investment strategist last year, warned against cutting rates with inflation around 3%. Now, however, as chair of Trump\u2019s Council of Economic Advisers and a contender to Powell, Miran has embraced Trump\u2019s view that rates are too high. Another potential appointee by Trump, former World Bank president David Malpass, has recently written that the Fed should cut rates to support the USD, even though, by his logic, the greenback\u2019s steady decline this year impedes such cuts.<\/p><p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p><p

Speaking to us this week is Saudi Egyptian Developers CEO Mohamed El Taher (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/eg.linkedin.com\/in\/mohamed-el-taher-788ba612\" 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>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>My name is Mohamed El Taher, and I\u2019m the CEO of Saudi Egyptian Developers.<\/strong> I\u2019ve been with the company since 2019. Before that, I was the CEO of Al Ismaelia for Real Estate Investment. I've spent about 24 years in the real estate industry, though I originally studied electrical engineering. Numbers have always been a passion of mine, which led me to pursue an MBA in finance and investment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As CEO, I\u2019m responsible for everything \u2014 but not directly.<\/strong> My job is to make sure problems are solved, people are aligned, and the business is moving in the right direction. I like hiring people who understand the business and bring solutions to the table. Strategy is important, but what matters most to me is creating cohesion. I believe in democracy of discussion, dictatorship of decision \u2014 everyone has the right to voice an opinion, but at the end of the day, one person has to decide. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Real estate dynamics are becoming more challenging. <\/strong>We used to have a steady state strategy or business plan that would last the whole year, and sometimes for several years, but now there are many variables, such as new lands being offered, new projects, interest and exchange rate fluctuations, market demand, lack of resources, and many new players joining the market. We need to make sure we\u2019re watching out for everything happening around us. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My main role, besides maximizing returns, is to make people I work with feel safe. <\/strong>My employees should feel safe and comfortable talking to me and take advice or guidance from me, and the shareholders should feel safe that the company is in good hands with me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Saudi Egyptian Developers was founded in 1975. <\/strong>While it operates as a private sector company, its capital is public \u2014 owned equally by the Saudi Finance Ministry and Egypt\u2019s Housing Ministry. We\u2019ve developed more than 60 projects across Egypt, including in Cairo, the North Coast, Alexandria, Mansoura, Damietta, and Assiut, as well as new cities like the new capital, New Alamein, and New Fayoum. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our portfolio is diverse, spanning residential, commercial, and hospitality developments. <\/strong>In January 2025, we opened a 256-room Hilton on the Nile Corniche in Maadi. Some of our Nile-facing units can fetch up to EGP 100 mn, while others, like those in Assiut, are priced at around EGP 1.5 mn. Each project has its own identity, and we currently have seven underway, including Nile Towers, Arabesque, Central, Jayd, and Marina 8.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019re also planning to expand. <\/strong>We\u2019ve acquired two 100-feddan land plots \u2014 one in the Sixth Settlement and another in West Cairo. In addition, we\u2019ve launched Marina 8 By The Lake, which features a natural lagoon directly connected to the sea, with more launches planned in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Real estate is one of the most dynamic sectors in Egypt. <\/strong>We\u2019re always seeing constant shifts in sales, projects, and regulations, which makes it harder to navigate, but demand remains resilient. Property is increasingly seen as a hedge \u2014 a store of value in uncertain times \u2014 so even during downturns, sales hold up. Our goal is to provide the best possible living standards, not just generate revenue. The challenge is to avoid being priced out of reach. At the end of the day, we\u2019ve provided homes to more than 30k families, and that\u2019s what matters most. Enhancing the customer experience is central to our model; it\u2019s not only about selling units, but building communities with strong design, amenities, and security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My day starts the night before<\/strong> as I plan meetings for the day, check my calendar, and review priorities. I usually wake up between 8-9am, after having six hours of sleep and never more than that; otherwise, I won\u2019t be able to sleep at night the next day. Mornings begin with coffee, some time for myself, and some with my wife. I always read EnterpriseAM in the morning; I\u2019ve been reading it for about ten years now \u2014 both the AM and PM editions. I also don\u2019t exercise in the morning, because I feel like I have more energy later in the day, so I will usually do my workouts after work. I also enjoy picking my clothes in the morning, as I think of it as a small mental exercise to begin the day. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A typical workday includes meetings and walking the floor to check in with the team<\/strong>, making sure projects are on track and resolving any conflicts. I take a short midday break to catch up with my wife or friends, as it gives me energy to power through the rest of the day. I usually finish work at around 7pm, head to the gym, then spend the evening with my family, have dinner, watch a movie, or read a book. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The one constant in my day is my kids. <\/strong>Sitting down and talking with my two daughters and son is a priority, and I make sure to check with them every day, give them advice, and offer guidance. Most importantly, I make sure to listen to them and understand them. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Staying focused isn\u2019t easy.<\/strong> I\u2019ve learned to work with, not against, who I am. I multitask a lot, and I\u2019ve trained myself to pull back when I drift and refocus on what I\u2019m doing. My most productive hours are between 4-6pm, so that\u2019s when I handle the tasks that need my full attention. At the end of the day, I relax by playing simple games on my phone. I\u2019ve stepped away from social media because it\u2019s too overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Work-life balance is one of the hardest things to achieve.<\/strong> I\u2019ve never seen anyone excel equally in both. You have to prioritize either. Sometimes I sacrifice sleep to spend time with family and friends, because those moments matter more \u2014 sleep can be made up for, memories cannot. If you love what you\u2019re doing, whether work or family, you won\u2019t feel fatigued. I hate routine. If I\u2019m not excited about something, I stop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Right now, my focus is on making life easier for the people around me.<\/strong> I don\u2019t have a single defined goal, but I want to eventually dedicate more time to helping people \u2014 through education or a charity, for example. Right now, I only contribute remotely, but hopefully one day I can be more hands-on. For now, my priority is what\u2019s already on my plate, which is my family and work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some of my top book recommendations are <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/36072.The_7_Habits_of_Highly_Effective_People\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People<\/a> by Stephen R.

Every now and then, I step back and ask whether we\u2019re still moving in the right direction overall. Another piece of advice I live by is to focus on what\u2019s within your circle of control \u2014 your family, your work, your contribution to society \u2014 and not to waste energy on what you can\u2019t change.<\/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
