The package aims to make it easier for businesses to operate by removing tax, customs, and procedural barriers.<\/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>A new package of 21 customs measures is in the works<\/strong>, including a new law that would allow producers to pay customs duties on production inputs in installments, rather than in a single payment before clearance as is currently required. This change would help ease liquidity pressures, shorten production cycles, and cut warehousing costs, we were told.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The amendments also include new mechanisms to resolve long-standing issues facing <\/strong><strong>factories in freezones and special economic zones.<\/strong> Currently, discrepancies in stock levels or production losses trigger penalties from the Industrial Development Authority and customs. Under the new draft, these cases would be considered minor violations, with higher tolerance levels for production losses, which will reduce the financial burdens on industrial projects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New provisions will also be introduced to settle customs disputes<\/strong>, mirroring the approach adopted for tax disputes, the source said. Authorities are also studying cutting down the number of agencies required to inspect certain imported goods that do not need technical analysis.

The case is in its final stages with the authorities, and a decision is expected within a month, which El Sallab believes would protect local industry from dumping practices and restore balance to the market.<\/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>The local market is going through a slowdown amid weaker demand for building <\/strong><strong>materials<\/strong>, making exports a strategic option for companies to weather the downturn, Al Ezz Ceramics and Porcelain (GEMMA) Investor Relations Director Hatem Shaheen told EnterpriseAM. Exports rose to 17% of the company\u2019s sales in 2Q 2025, up from 9% in 1Q, with expectations for further growth in 3Q. Exporting provides more flexibility in managing rising local costs and helps maintain production capacity, Shaheen said, adding that expanding abroad is a priority for the company in the near future. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Still, boosting local demand requires incentives<\/strong> \u2014 foremost among them is easing construction permit issuance, which would benefit all building materials industries, not just ceramics, El Sallab said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The challenge doesn\u2019t come from Arab investments but from Chinese-backed projects that <\/strong><strong>aim to \u201cdestroy building materials industries\u201d in the Arab region<\/strong> by flooding markets with subsidized products, El Sallab argues. These firms enter Arab markets under the guise of local investment, but, in reality, they rely on Chinese labor and financing, giving them an unfair cost advantage and forcing local producers out, as has already happened in some Gulf markets, El Sallab said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s not just Egypt that is struggling with the dumping of Chinese ceramic products: <\/strong>The EU, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/tra-proposes-keeping-measure-on-chinese-ceramic-kitchenware\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">the UK<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saudiexchange.sa\/wps\/portal\/saudiexchange\/newsandreports\/issuer-news\/issuer-announcements\/issuer-announcements-details?anCat=1&anId=87830&locale=en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">GCC nations<\/a>, and more have anti-dumping measures on imports of Chinese ceramic products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BY THE NUMBERS- <\/strong>Egypt\u2019s ceramics industry generates some EGP 21 bn in annual revenues, with key players operating 33 factories with a maximum production capacity of 400 mn sqm a year, according to Prime Research.

Driving the move were concerns that the planned tax increase would negatively impact the creative industries, we were told.<\/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>The government is also drafting a support package for cinema and theater producers<\/strong>, which will help them produce and market their productions, we were told.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But not everyone in the entertainment sector will be spared<\/strong>, with the state still planning to go ahead with tax increases for certain types of parties and locations where they are held. There\u2019s also a push to adjust the minimum entry fees for concerts with foreign artists, according to our source.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One option being studied is to restructure the tax into progressive brackets based on <\/strong><strong>ticket prices<\/strong>, easing pressure on theaters and smaller producers while imposing higher rates on high-end concerts and events in tourist hotspots, the source added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>DATA POINT- <\/strong>Entertainment tax revenues stood at just EGP 1.4 bn last fiscal year; the Finance Ministry is targeting EGP 1.2 bn this year. Entertainment providers say the burden is already heavy due to overlapping VAT, property taxes, and other fees, the source said. <\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!--

Ten big European buyout houses are expected to seek more than EUR 110 bn next year \u2014 compared to the roughly EUR 34 bn they are set to secure this year \u2014 a surge that could force LPs to pick top performers and leave weaker managers short of capital, the FT quotes advisory firm Campbell Lutyens as saying.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This is despite a wave of fundraising fatigue in the industry.<\/strong> Campaigns now take \u201ctwice as long\u201d compared to the industry\u2019s heyday, with LPs often insisting on distributions before re-upping against the backdrop of slow exits and lower returns.

The five new schools are based in Obour, Nasr City, Sixth of October, Helwan, and Borg El Arab and were developed in partnership between the Technological Institute for Pharma Industries in Rome, the Egyptian Drug Authority, and the Health Ministry, according to an Education Ministry <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/egypt.moe\/posts\/pfbid0Hu2ujD9dGVhhz52CXJKbu772Em5wkUuBigf6pqSWRSWzP2sXDSYrANDUtXKghY8Ml?rdid=CcjL3KnFaUD1EqLD#\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>.<\/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>Applied technology schools are becoming an increasingly important part of the <\/strong><strong>education system in Egypt<\/strong>, with more being built every year. The schools are a relatively new addition in the educational landscape in Egypt, bridging the gap in secondary education between classroom learning and the actual needs of the job market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The country now has 115 of these schools<\/strong>, according to Education Ministry data, most of which are run under a public-private partnership between the ministry and a private company or companies. Students enrolled in the schools usually have a very clear path to employment from the school\u2019s private sector partner and this partner, in turn, has potential recruits living in the right location and with the right skills. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt is positioning itself as a promising pharma hub, but the industry faces a shortage <\/strong><strong>of skilled workers. <\/strong>The initiative to launch the five pharma-focused schools addresses that gap by meeting rising demand for labor in the sector by allowing students to acquire advanced practical skills in the sector, Central Administration for Technical Education Development head Amr Basila told EnterpriseAM. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The programs are designed to provide students with hands-on experience<\/strong>, Basila explained, with schools located near pharma companies where students will receive training. This enables them to join the local or international workforce immediately after graduation, or pursue higher education to further enhance their expertise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Italy \u2014 one of the world\u2019s largest pharma manufacturers \u2014 is contributing with its extensive <\/strong><strong>expertise and technology to the initiative<\/strong>. Students will access training and accredited curricula aligned with global standards, under the supervision of the Egyptian education and health ministries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Students will receive two diplomas \u2014 an Egyptian one after three years, and an Italian <\/strong><strong>one after five years. <\/strong>This dual system opens potential for graduates in both domestic and global job markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The industry is growing rapidly, particularly in derivatives and meds for chronic diseases <\/strong><strong>such as cancer and insulin<\/strong>, as well as other industries key to reducing imports and localizing production, Federation of Egyptian Industries\u2019 pharma division head Ali Ouf told EnterpriseAM. The current environment requires both financial and professional support, as well as incentives, to further boost the industry and cut the import bill, Ouf added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ICYMI- <\/strong>We heard <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/5fe7c16f-70aa-48a8-a041-9b29312fae68\/Fresh%20incentives%20for%20pharma%20players\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">last week<\/a> that the Madbouly government is preparing a bundle of incentives to attract more investment to the pharma sector.
