As of today, we\u2019re not aware of a single would-be Egyptian issuer lining up to tap the equity markets this calendar year. The global investor pullback from EM, anemic volumes on the EGX (with foreign institutional buying flatlined), rising US interest rates, redemptions from equity funds around the world, and talk of recessions in developed economies make the IPO climate here at home inhospitable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We expect the government has a good chance of lining up multiple sales to Emirati (and perhaps Saudi) investors <\/strong>given the GCC is riding a wave of high oil prices that has left sovereign funds and state-affiliated companies flush with cash. (See related story in Planet Finance, below.) Egyptian assets are very well priced right now, and Cairo can count on strategic support from Abu Dhabi and Riyadh \u2014 but through the sale of compelling assets, not straight-up assistance. It is possible that some of these transactions could include token domestic retail offerings or otherwise be executed via the EGX (for already-listed companies, for example).<\/p>\n<p><strong>KEEP IN MIND- GCC investors are not looking to buy stakes in moribund state-owned enterprises with zombie listings on the EGX.<\/strong> They want viable, interesting assets with plenty of potential to generate real ROIs \u2014 and to serve as springboards for growth. They\u2019re not going to transact if that type of asset isn\u2019t on the table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The government\u2019s new hotels company could be on the list: <\/strong>Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik told Bloomberg Asharq (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asharqbusiness.com\/article\/40072\">watch, runtime: 4:00<\/a>) the company could make its EGX debut in November. The state plans to sell 10-15% of the company to investors on the EGX and an additional stake will be sold to a strategic investor, he said.

There might be a local sukuk issuance,\u201d he said. The government had wanted to take the issuance to international markets, but will have to wait, Maait said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turning the issuance local isn\u2019t much of a surprise: <\/strong>Maait\u2019s statements come weeks after he said that Egypt\u2019s maiden <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8943e6f1-9b79-46d8-815d-d76d91a75de4\">sovereign sukuk<\/a> issuance was <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/9248f059-1af9-4bd6-b271-5a9316250186\">pushed to FY 2022-2023<\/a> amid see-sawing market conditions on the back of the crisis in Ukraine and rising interest rates. The <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/da8f3c54-83a5-46d2-8bf1-ac7bad4f3e59\">issuance was originally expected<\/a> to go to market before the end of the 20201-2022 fiscal year, which ended on 30 June, but markets were not ideal, he said. \u201cThere are estimates that the volatility could subside in 3-4 months, but nothing is certain right now,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maait did not specify how large the domestic offering would be. <\/strong>The Finance Ministry had guided last summer on an international offering in the USD 2 bn range.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background: <\/strong>The sharia-compliant bonds could be issued on both the local and international stock exchanges.The issuance is part of FinMin\u2019s strategy to reduce government debt and shift towards longer-term borrowing, which saw it issue its first green bonds in 2020.
