The move to shift sukuk from the primary market to open exchange trading is designed to maximize returns and attract fresh liquidity as Egypt\u2019s Islamic finance market matures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters: <\/strong>Egypt\u2019s EGP 200 bn sovereign sukuk program has seen softened demand lately, with yields at 21% trailing the 25\u201326% offered by conventional debt, following seven issuances since the program\u2019s launch last November.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Listing sukuk for trading will not impact the state\u2019s ultimate ownership of the underlying <\/strong><strong>assets<\/strong>, such as the Ras Shukeir land plot backing the current program, according to our source. The assets underpinning the issuance will not be transferred or the ministry\u2019s right to reclaim the assets at maturity limited, with only the usufruct rights transferred for the duration of the sukuk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The ministry also plans to introduce a variable-rate sovereign sukuk to broaden the <\/strong><strong>investor base<\/strong>, in line with its broader debt strategy to reduce borrowing costs and extend the average maturity of public debt to 4.5\u20135 years, up from the current 1.7 years. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The local sukuk program is also expected to be extended through FY 2026-27<\/strong>, alongside new instruments like fractional, zero-coupon, and fixed-rate bonds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt is also planning to return to the international bond market in the coming period<\/strong>, with a target of USD 2\u20132.3 bn in the first half of 2026, our source told us. The move follows a tactical delay of an issuance originally planned for February, which the Finance Ministry put on hold to wait out a period of global market volatility to secure better pricing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We should also soon see the launch of the country\u2019s first ever retail bonds in the first six <\/strong><strong>months of the year<\/strong>, allowing individuals to invest in government debt instruments without having to go through intermediaries, we were told. <\/p>\n<p

Gen<\/strong><strong>eral Organization for Export and Import <\/strong><strong>Control (GOEIC) are tightening oversight on exports<\/strong> of fertilizers, cement, steel, and appliances to ensure Egyptian goods don't lose access to international markets over environmental standards, according to a government decision reviewed by EnterpriseAM. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Under the new decree, exporters must now provide the GOEIC with carbon emissions <\/strong><strong>reports <\/strong>before obtaining prior approval to export. This data will go towards a national database of exporters\u2019 carbon emissions put together by the authority.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why this matters: <\/strong>This isn\u2019t just about bureaucracy \u2014 this is about the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.

The rebound after a punishing two-year slump was driven by a 53.6% increase in bus sales, a 64.4% increase in passenger car sales, and a notable 108.4% increase in truck sales \u2014 signaling that corporate Egypt is finally moving to replace aging fleets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While it was certainly a good year for the market, it was a reality check that our auto <\/strong><strong>localization efforts still have a long way to go. <\/strong>With many of the projects to expand local assembly announced over previous months and years yet to start rolling out vehicles from the factory floor, the growth in auto demand was mostly captured by vehicles imported whole.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sales of vehicles imported whole rose 12.1 percentage points faster than those <\/strong><strong>assembled locally<\/strong>, with completely-built-up vehicles registering a 77.1% y-o-y growth in sales, while completely knocked-down vehicles clocked in a 65.0% y-o-y increase. But on the plus side, a 65.0% y-o-y increase in sales is still something to note, and hopefully, the total yearly growth in sales is a decent sign to automakers looking to set up shop that there\u2019s a local market looking to buy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why this matters: <\/strong>The recovery is real, but it\u2019s a victory for importers, not yet for local industry. While a nearly 70% jump in sales suggests the slump is over, the fact that sales of imported whole vehicles outpaced locally assembled units by 12.1 percentage points proves that Egypt\u2019s localization push is still in the announcement phase rather than the production phase. The data is a reminder that demand is ready, but the local supply chain isn't yet capturing the value<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The more than doubling of truck sales is a sign that the private sector has now decided <\/strong><strong>it's time to put capital into upgrading fleets<\/strong>, after a tough last few years led companies to put off modernizing ageing fleets, Egyptian Automobile Manufacturers Association Secretary-General Khaled Saad tells EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The uptick in passenger car sales towards the end of the year was also notable<\/strong>, with the \u201cfinal months of last year [seeing] strong growth in passenger car sales supported by a wave of discounts launched by agents and distributors,\u201d Saad noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A<\/strong><strong>nd looking ahead, the uptick looks set to continue<\/strong>, as \u201ca larger percentage of prospective buyers [than in the last part of 2025] postponed their decision until the first quarter of this year to secure the lowest possible price,\u201d Saad tells us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A caveat to the numbers:<\/strong> Amic figures are sourced from member distributors, representing the bulk \u2014 but not the entirety \u2014 of the industry.<\/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

Speaking to us this week is Disruptech Ventures Managing Partner Mohamed Okasha (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mohamed-el-sayed-okasha-056b87a2\/\" 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>My name is Mohamed Okasha.<\/strong> I come from an IT and telecoms background and have worked in several companies, including Raya and Vodafone Egypt. In 2009, I left Vodafone to start Fawry with a couple of other co-founders. We had quite the journey and listed the company on the EGX in 2019. But at the start of 2020, I stepped down from my role as Fawry\u2019s managing director to launch the venture capital fund Disruptech.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Disruptech was first born as an idea in 2020 and officially established in 2021.<\/strong> In 2022, we closed its first funding round, and so far, we\u2019ve invested in about 25 startups. The fund's idea was built around establishing an early-stage, pre-seed fund. We invest in Egyptian companies, or companies founded by Egyptians, that need funding and support during their initial, 18-month development phase. This is the idea upon which we built Disruptech.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As the name Disruptech implies, we look for tech startups that create disruption through <\/strong><strong>the use of technology.<\/strong> Fintech is our main focus, and most of our investments are in this crucial sector, which comes from the need to address the limitations that are present in financial and banking infrastructure in Egypt and the wider Arab world. Fintechs are filling in the gaps, solving problems, and collaborating with banks to provide solutions to promote financial inclusion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We have seen two new trends emerging lately<\/strong> that are drawing attention from investors and founders. One is the use of AI to create more efficient businesses in financial services and other areas. The other is how companies are using blockchain technology to tokenize real-world assets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I'm an early riser. I wake up very early at 5am every day and start the day by praying.<\/strong> I walk to the mosque and back, which gives me time to unwind. Once I\u2019m back, I drink some tea and kick off the work day by answering emails and reading reports for about two hours. Then, everyone in my house wakes up, so I spend some time chatting with the kids and talking with my wife. After this, I jump on the phone to make some calls and head to the office for meetings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our job is not a typical 9-5. <\/strong>I don\u2019t have a fixed schedule, as it varies day-to-day. I usually have several meetings, either internally with my colleagues, with a portfolio company, or with external parties. This starts at 10am or 11am at the latest and continues until the meetings are over, whether I am inside or outside the office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Two things remain constant in my day, whether I'm in Egypt or abroad. <\/strong>I wake up at 5am, regardless of what's happening or where I am, to pray the fajr prayer, and I call my children studying abroad or my wife and kids in Egypt if I\u2019m travelling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I am somewhat traditional in that I like to put my thoughts down in writing. <\/strong>In the past, I used to use paper and pen, but lately, I use my phone for everything \u2014 I open a note and write down everything I'm thinking about, any plan I want to make, or any vision for solving a problem. I then sit down and arrange these ideas in a structured and meaningful way until I am convinced of the final direction. Once the plan reaches maturity and I am convinced of the approach, I execute the necessary steps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>On a personal level, my goals include improving my health, doing more physical <\/strong><strong>activities, and traveling more.<\/strong> When I have more spare time, I will be able to enjoy life the way I want to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I believe that at Disruptech, we have built a strong foundation for a company with a solid <\/strong><strong>reputation, and it really adds value.<\/strong> My dream is for it to continue its scaling and growth over time, driven by our current team. And from there, I can achieve my personal goal of stepping down and spending less time working, passing the torch to other people to manage this company and take it to the next level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I was lucky that my first job was with someone who was a legend in managing <\/strong><strong>companies and people. <\/strong>The best advice he gave me is that you only fail when you stop trying. As long as you are trying, it means there is still a chance for you to achieve what you want. This is something I remind myself of every day.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div
