style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>What can we expect from the second package of tax facilities? <\/strong>The second package of tax facilities will mainly focus on issues related to tax refunds, e-invoicing, and private sector support, a senior government source told us. <\/p>\n<p

experienced by the tax community when it comes to following the VAT Law by introducing new facilities and removing hurdles facing businesses, Deputy Finance Minister for Taxes Sherif Al Kilani has <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b6b308b8-3cf2-4996-9781-f1b56ff1c137\/finmin-deputy-reveals-key-details-regarding-second-package-of%253cmark%253e-tax%253c%2Fmark%253e-facilities\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">previously told EnterpriseAM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Where does it stand? <\/strong>The package will be up for public dialogue later this month, the source said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- <\/strong>It first came to light in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/6c41d9e5-172c-4bc2-9302-03ee28cd95d9\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">September<\/a> of last year that the government is readying another tax relief package, one targeting the real estate sector, shortly after it <a target=\"_blank\"

tax system and easing the burden on taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Under the latest round of facilities, some <\/strong><strong>products<\/strong><strong> will be exempt from invoicing<\/strong>, including agricultural crops, dairy products, and certain handicrafts. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Tax refunds, easier than ever: <\/strong>The package will simplify the tax refund process, delinking refunds from tax audit processes. The step aims to reduce the documents required for issuing a refund and accelerate taxpayers' access to their tax entitlements, according to the source. The government is currently updating the electronic system related to submitting tax returns, allowing taxpayers to complete procedures online easily while avoiding issues with uploading e-invoices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A new mechanism to accelerate tax refunds: <\/strong>The government is also working on formulating mechanisms to address obstacles to the tax refund process, including tackling the issue of fraudulent invoices, which arise from the inability to identify the companies issuing these invoices, the source added.<\/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

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Standard Bank plants its flag i<\/strong><strong>n Egypt:<\/strong> South Africa\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.standardbank.com\/sbg\/standard-bank-group\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Standard Bank Group<\/a>, the continent\u2019s largest banking group by assets, opened its representative office in Cairo yesterday during an event attended by EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The office will act as a<\/strong><strong> bridge between Egyptian companies and Standard Bank\u2019s network <\/strong><strong>across Africa<\/strong>, providing information, introductions, and advisory support to help local firms enter African markets safely and efficiently, according to the lender\u2019s MENA CEO and head of the Cairo representative office, Rassem Zok. The office will not offer direct banking services, he explained. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The decision to expand into Egypt was driven by rising client demand<\/strong>, particularly from multinational and regional corporations showing increased interest in the Egyptian market, especially in the energy, infrastructure, industrial, and financial-services sectors, said Luvuyo Masinda, Standard Bank\u2019s head of corporate and investment banking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And w<\/strong><strong>hy Egypt?<\/strong> The lender picked Egypt as its regional gateway thanks to its central role in Africa and its position as a natural link between North Africa, the Gulf, and Sub-Saharan Africa, said Standard Bank Group CEO Sim Tshabalala. He praised Egypt\u2019s \u201cclear regulatory environment, strong financial institutions, and excellent, reassuring economic management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What does S<\/strong><strong>tandard Bank bring to the table?<\/strong> Standard Bank\u2019s strength lies in its wide geographic footprint \u2014 the group operates in 21 African countries through the continent\u2019s largest banking network, holds more than USD 200 bn in assets, and maintains a strategic partnership with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), Tshabalala said. This reach allows the bank to finance large-scale projects and facilitate trade and investment flows between Africa and Asia. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Cairo office will facilitate the flow of capital, goods, and ideas across Egypt, the Gulf, <\/strong><strong>and Sub-Saharan Africa<\/strong>, reinforcing Egypt\u2019s role as a regional hub. The office will focus on infrastructure, energy, industry, and financial services \u2014 sectors Masinda described as offering the greatest potential for Egypt\u2013Africa integration. The bank\u2019s strong presence in Africa gives it a competitive edge in supporting Egyptian companies looking to expand south, offering advisory, trade-finance, and risk-management services to facilitate cross-border investments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That\u2019s not all<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> The bank\u2019s strategic partnership with ICBC \u2014 which owns around 20% of Standard Bank \u2014 provides a strong financing network linking Asia and Africa that could be leveraged to boost trade between China, Egypt, and other African countries, Tshabalala said. And with Gulf sovereign wealth funds becoming key drivers of capital flows into Africa, Standard Bank aims to connect their capital to development opportunities in Africa, particularly in energy, mining, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s next:<\/strong> The Cairo office will initially function as a \u201crelationship-building and market-understanding center,\u201d with a transition to a full branch possible once the bank deepens its understanding of the local market and as activity grows, Tshabalala said. He noted that the group followed a similar phased approach in markets such as Angola, where it began with a representative office before becoming one of the country\u2019s largest banks.<\/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\/africa\/\">Africa<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/banking\/\">banking<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/standard-bank\/\">Standard Bank<\/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=\"675449\" 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=\"675449\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Startup watch<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/11\/13\/egypt-ranked-third-in-mena-for-ai-linked-startup-funding-in-1h-2025\/\">\r\n                            !

In close second was Saudi Arabia with USD 96 mn in AI funding raised across 29 transactions, more than 4x the investments raised in 1H 2024. The two countries with Egypt rounding up the top three collectively accounted for 96% of MENA\u2019s total AI funding and 85% of its transaction activity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Pre-seed funding accounted for a record 27 rounds<\/strong>, with the UAE (11 rounds) and Saudi (12 rounds) capturing most of the early-stage activity. This early-stage trend, alongside expanding series A activity, signals a \u201chealthier investment funnel\u201d that seeds new ventures while scaling proven AI players, Magnitt said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The most popular industries within AI? <\/strong>Fintech saw investments jump sixfold to USD 77 mn, according to a separate <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/11\/783.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">press release (pdf)<\/a>. Enterprise software followed, securing 30 of the 84 investments during the period and raising USD 58 mn \u2014 up 164% y-o-y and accounting for 36% of all AI transactions. The two sectors dominated due to robust data availability, clear use cases, and strong enterprise demand. Real estate ranked third with USD 56 mn, followed by edtech at USD 32 mn and construction and infrastructure at USD 29 mn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Emerging AI sectors are expected to thrive: <\/strong>Real estate, edtech, law, construction, healthtech, and govtech are all promising industries, despite being capital-intensive with long development cycles, Magnitt\u2019s Research Manager Farah El Nahlawi told EnterpriseAM. She pointed to government support, solid data infrastructure, and integration with corporate systems as potential investment drivers in the future. \u201cPolicy tailwinds and ecosystem build-out with government-led programs such as Saudi Arabia\u2019s Humain and the UAE\u2019s Stargate AI Campus set the tone for investor confidence by demonstrating long-term national commitment to AI,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The main investors?<\/strong> Private VC dominated AI funding, with corporate participation and indirect sovereign capital playing supporting roles, El Nahlawi told us. Seven of the top 10 investors by capital deployed are MENA venture or growth funds. Meanwhile, sovereign wealth funds, including Mubadala, PIF, and ADQ, channeled capital indirectly through venture arms and funds-of-funds. Private and domestic institutional capital remain the main drivers of AI investment across the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>More to come: <\/strong>AI is set to become a defining pillar of MENA\u2019s VC landscape over the next three to five years, El Nahlawi told us. Funding is expected to be concentrated in fewer, larger rounds as mid-stage startups grow into regional scale-ups, with series A and B rounds rising as local investors gain confidence and international funds seek co-investments, she added. Further integration of AI into finance, energy, healthcare, and logistics will also boost its share of total VC activity, while corporate investors and government-linked programs will continue to bridge early-stage funding gaps, El Nahlawi noted.<\/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\/ai\/\">AI<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/startup-watch\/\">Startup watch<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/startups\/\">startups<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/technology\/\">technology<\/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=\"675451 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"675451\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/11\/13\/675451\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-675451\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-675451 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantthornton.eg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/12\/2099.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"675452\" 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=\"675452\">\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\">EARNINGS WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/11\/13\/tmg-orascom-development-fawry-report-9m-earnings\/\">\r\n                            TMG, Orascom Development, Fawry report 9M earnings                        <\/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\/11\/13\/tmg-orascom-development-fawry-report-9m-earnings\/\" 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();

Good news for EM local bonds is also good news for EM currencies, with many strengthening against the greenback following investor appetite for their debt.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EM disinflation outpacing developed nations is also helping increase interest in assets<\/strong><strong> outside of Wall Street and Europe. <\/strong>The difference in risk between equities from EMs and developed countries is narrowing, and the \u201cemerging world looks relatively less risky than DM for the first time in a long time,\u201d Allspring Global Investments Senior Portfolio Manager Derrick Irwin told the outlet.<\/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 mostly in the green this morning<\/strong> as investors react to the US House passing a funding bill that will end the government shutdown.

Speaking to us this week is the UN Global Compact Network Egypt Country Director Walaa El Husseiny (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/walaa-el-husseiny-51790756\/?originalSubdomain=eg\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>). <strong>Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I\u2019m Walaa El Husseiny. I\u2019m a mother and researcher. <\/strong>I\u2019m a proud graduate of the faculty of economics and political science at Cairo University, and I lead the UN Global Compact in Egypt. It is the local arm of the UN initiative that works with companies to make sustainability part of how they do business. Simply, I spend my time helping businesses to grow responsibly and to profit with purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I don\u2019t have a fixed daily schedule.<\/strong> I do strategies, meetings, budgeting, and coaching for my team. I'm connecting with businesses, I'm creating ideas, as well as initiating projects; every day is different. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The initiative was born from the belief that the private sector can be a real force for good.<\/strong> It should be given the right guidance, partnerships, and accountability tools. When we started, our goal was a simple but ambitious one. We wanted to make sustainability a language that every Egyptian company speaks fluently. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> When our network started, we had a very strong belief that Egyptian businesses can<\/strong><strong> compete globally if they embrace sustainability, innovation, and integrity. <\/strong> We built it locally, step by step, with the guidance of our global office and with the trust and partnerships we managed to have across Egypt. For me, what I like about it is that we are bridging between global goals and what we talk about when we want to take a local action for sustainability. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Trends are evolving every day, and they're all interesting. <\/strong>For instance, before the COP climate summit, we had never heard of some concepts like mitigation, adaptation \u2014 but now it's becoming the norm. We were not used to talking about diversity and inclusion, but now it\u2019s also become a norm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My mornings are my quiet time. <\/strong> I'm a person who\u2019s in love with silence, so I need to have a calm restart. I wake up around 5 to 6 in the morning, then I pray. I try to make it a habit to read the Quran, although sometimes it's hard. Then I have my mug of milk tea, which is my friend throughout the day. Then I try to listen to some light music, like Fayrouz. Then I stay calm for five minutes, without talking to anyone, and just enjoy stillness. I then drive my son to school, walk for 20 minutes in the club, and go back home around 8:45am.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I\u2019m not an organized person by nature, so I spend some time in the morning writing down<\/strong><strong> on paper everything that comes to my mind<\/strong> \u2014 my priorities, plans for the days, what I missed yesterday. I'm old school; I love to use my pencil and my notes, and write everything down. I then go to work around 10:30am. I start my day with Zoom calls, team meetings, stakeholder meetings, or talking with my team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I delegate and empower my team.<\/strong> They take care of the job unless they need something on a strategic level or something that they cannot sort out on their own, which is when they come to me. I learned not to do everything on my own, but it was difficult.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There is nothing called work-life balance<\/strong>, especially for me, maybe because every day is different for me. I think it\u2019s about rhythm, not rules. So some weeks are full of work. Others are slower. I\u2019ve learned not to punish myself for that, which is something I used to always do, along with feeling guilty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I'm naturally a workaholic, and used to work like 14 hours a day without blinking.<\/strong> When there is a big project or agreement I want to close, I can work day and night until it's done. But once you have a family, you realize that this pace is not fair to them, and for you as well, because you want to enjoy time with your family. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The key for me is being present. <\/strong>When I'm at work, I give it my all. When I'm home, I try to be there not only physically, but mentally too.

It's very difficult, but I believe in our vision, and I believe in my team. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>On a personal level, I love learning, so I plan to learn more and more<\/strong>. I\u2019m digging more into corporate governance, which is a big interest of mine. And I\u2019m also going to work on my master's in economics as well. I had started it ten years ago, but stopped when my father passed away. Economics is another passion of mine, and I\u2019m looking forward to the challenge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There are two pieces of advice that really changed how I see the world. <\/strong>First, the idea that if it will not matter in five years, don't spend five minutes worrying about it. I used to be this person who used to worry about everything. I used to think a lot and feel guilty for everything. I\u2019ve come to realize that I have to trust the process and that everything happens for a reason. The second piece of advice that had an impact on me is to lead with empathy, but not to lose my edge, which my father told me. You can be kind and still be firm, care deeply, and make tough decisions.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n
