While 39% could be drawn in by a spam email warning of a security risk and 35% by a notice about a blocked credit card, these risks can be mitigated through awareness. Closing this \u201cknowledge gap\u201d is the goal of Visa\u2019s \u2018Stay Secure\u2019 campaign, which delivers practical, actionable advice to help people spot and stop fraud. By embedding security awareness into everyday interactions, businesses can transform knowledge into action, creating an ecosystem where fraudsters lose their advantage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Read more about Stay Secure <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/eg.visamiddleeast.com\/en_EG\/about-visa\/newsroom\/press-releases\/prl-18112025.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/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-visa\/\">A MESSAGE FROM VISA<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/visa\/\">Visa<\/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=\"676424\" 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                            \"\r\n            id=\"676424\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/11\/30\/nautix-to-finalize-galala-marina-operations-contract-with-the-government-next-month\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/7\/2538.jpg?fit=1568%2C9999&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"676425\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/11\/30\/nautix-to-finalize-galala-marina-operations-contract-with-the-government-next-month\/2538-jpg-13\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/7\/2538.jpg?fit=%2C&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"[]\" data-image-title=\"2538.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/7\/2538.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/7\/2538.jpg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" \/>                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-676424\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-676424 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorized tag-enterpriseam tag-hospitality tag-infrastructure tag-tourism tag-yachts wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-audio mb-0\"><audio controls preload=\"metadata\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2025\/11\/.98b7fb7f-810b-4d2d-a7d0-5ec51f187044.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>The Madboul<\/strong><strong>y government will sign the management and operations contract <\/strong><strong>for Galala Marina next month<\/strong>, after officials finalized the technical and regulatory details last week, a senior government source told EnterpriseAM.

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>What will the impact of the upcoming loosening of regulations for US <\/strong><strong>banks <\/strong><strong>be for the <\/strong><strong>rest of the world? <\/strong>That\u2019s the topic making the rounds in the business press as banks across the EU and the UK begin to call on regulators to also loosen strict regulations and bring down high capital buffers for fear of losing more market share to US banks. <\/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>What\u2019s happening?<\/strong> Fed\u2019s vice chair of supervision Michelle Bowman is leading reforms that will bring down leverage ratios to as low as 3.5% from 5% and implement a looser form of Basel III capital level requirements and ease annual stress tests. The reforms are expected to free up some USD 2.6 tn in lending capacity for US banks, according to a Jeffries note picked up by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-11-21\/banks-get-extra-2-6-trillion-from-deregulation-jefferies-says\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> and the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/fcfd9596-a8eb-4161-b28e-91e2a3b8bdb4\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a>, which wrote a big read on the subject.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The rolling back of crisis-era capital requirements is celebrated by some and fueling <\/strong><strong>concerns for others<\/strong>, with critics fearing it could reduce banks\u2019 resilience to systemic shocks, especially as it comes only two years after the collapse of several mid-sized US banks, including Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Still, the move is expected to give Wall Street far more room to expand credit, trading, <\/strong><strong>and balance-sheet activity<\/strong>, as well as bolster banks\u2019 activity in the USD 29 tn US Treasury market. It would immediately liberate as much as USD 140 bn in capital for US banks, potentially boosting loan growth, buybacks, and dividends, Alvarez &amp; Marsal said in a report picked up by the Financial Times.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The move is expected to \u201cdrive a material uplift through 2026\u201d in bank activity <\/strong>\u2014 from lending to M&amp;A and tech investment. But it\u2019s bad news for global rivals, including European and UK banks, which already face stricter capital regimes and say the upcoming shift risks entrenching Wall Street dominance. One senior European bank executive told the salmon-colored paper the divergence is \u201creally bad news\u201d for competitiveness, as fears mount over the loss of more market share to US banks.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Concerns have even prompted Swiss bank UBS to mull moving its headquarters to the <\/strong><strong>US<\/strong> as it awaits a decision from the government that could hike its capital requirements by USD 26 bn, a move aimed at toughening its stance on the lender after the Credit Suisse meltdown.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US banks last year occupied the top five spots for investment-banking revenue <\/strong><strong>worldwide<\/strong> and accounted for seven of the top 10, according to Dealogic. The top 13 US banks are already estimated to have about USD 200 bn of excess capital above their regulatory minimums, setting them up for massive windfalls from the upcoming reforms.<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>So far, Europe seems unlikely to follow.<\/strong> Claudia Buch, the European Central Bank\u2019s top supervisor, said she has no plans to cut capital requirements, arguing \u201cbetter-capitalized banks are better able to lend, particularly in times of stress.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As for the UK, the Bank of England is reviewing its leverage regime<\/strong> and may adopt partial relief. Alvarez &amp; Marsal estimates that if the UK mirrors the US, British banks\u2019 capital requirements could fall by around 8%. However, analysts expect the UK to deliver only \u201chalf\u201d the relief seen in the US.<\/p><div class=\"stock-ticker-panel\">\n<table class=\"table stock-ticker-table markets-table\">\n<tr
