The Tadawul is up 30.2%, the ADX is up 66.3% and the DFM is up 28.4% so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It ain\u2019t much, but it\u2019s something:<\/strong> We finally saw our first real IPO on the EGX since Rameda\u2019s 2019 debut when higher education outfit<strong> Taaleem<\/strong> debuted on the stock market <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/94e97ae5-4a3e-46a4-8dca-243163201344\">in April<\/a>, bringing an end to a long drought of new paper entering the market. LSE-listed <strong>Integrated Diagnostics Holding<\/strong> (IDH) followed on Taaleem\u2019s heel with a technical listing the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/48ddada3-0016-47a8-a9e6-201cb9d0cca7\">following month<\/a>, transferring 5% of its existing shares to the EGX.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Critically, 2021 was the year the state privatization program roared back to life.<\/strong> Since being announced in 2018, the program \u2014 which includes fresh IPOs and secondary sales of already-listed companies \u2014 had only seen one offering go through: Eastern Tobacco\u2019s 4.5% secondary offering in March 2019. Last year, the program was <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/82f7037f-4711-42cd-a7d1-7f4f6ab1f06e\">shelved<\/a> as the pandemic roiled global markets. This year finally breathed new life into the stake-sale program, starting with e-payments firm <strong>e-Finance<\/strong>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/23beb734-9f6f-4c55-9143-7c6935ecf804\">blockbuster IPO<\/a> in October, which saw the company raise some EGP 5.8 bn. <strong>Abu Qir Fertilizers<\/strong> came next, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/352cb619-1060-47c5-8a48-c0f5d2e91ca3\">completing the sale<\/a> of 10% of its shares for EGP 2.25 bn earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Kima being added to that list?<\/strong> Egyptian Chemical Industries (Kima) could sell more shares on the EGX \u201cwhen profitability grows enough,\u201d Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik said during yesterday\u2019s inauguration of expansions to Kima\u2019s ammonia and urea industrial complex in Aswan and a textiles plant (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=95Cfe3leSZ0\">watch, runtime: 23:45<\/a>). The company will move forward with the stake sale, which would be limited to a retail offering, as soon as it sees an \u201cincrease\u201d in earnings, Hapi cited Tawfik as saying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How are the company\u2019s financials looking now? <\/strong>The company ended 2020 deeply in the red, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/06adde44-8f4b-4aee-9332-046a53dfffad\">reporting<\/a> a EGP 631 mn loss after carrying over EGP 1.4 bn in prior losses. It\u2019s hoped that Kima 2, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/cd1a4c69-296e-438d-bfab-a38827940236\">completed<\/a> at the start of the year and has a production capacity of 1.2 tonnes per day of ammonia and 1.5k tonnes of granular urea, will help generate stronger returns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How are things looking for 2022?<\/strong> In a word, it\u2019s looking mixed. Globally, there\u2019s concern <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/7cd3f305-2c57-41bd-b8be-8516fb5e7081\">among analysts<\/a> that the Great IPO Rush of 2021 could peter out next year, as central banks rein in stimulus programs and look to hike interest rates (as the US Federal Reserve announced it will next year). These shifting conditions could dry up the surplus liquidity that had helped companies raise record figures in bourse debuts. Then there\u2019s the fact hat as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/4c68c37b-57ae-47b1-98dd-f4a815b3182d\">half of this year\u2019s IPOs in major global centers<\/a> are trading below their offering price \u2014 and increasing regulatory scrutiny for SPACs in the west.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here at home, the IPO and secondary sale pipeline is a bit less anemic heading into 2022 than it was heading into the year now ending.<\/strong> Chief among those is the hotly anticipated IPO of <strong>Banque du Caire<\/strong>, which has been postponed multiple times but could finally materialize if the government continues to capitalize on the momentum created by this year\u2019s stake sales in state companies. Misr Ins. Holding could pull the trigger on <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b6479909-3227-4b09-b323-f50021ec4c33\">its plan<\/a> to offer a stake in its subsidiary, <strong>Misr Life Ins.<\/strong>, in 2022, but has also yet to follow through on the EGX debut of <strong>Misr Ins<\/strong>., which was pushed from their original <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/07\/07\/misr-insurance-misr-life-insurance-could-ipo-on-egypts-bourse-by-end-2020-4\/\">2020 timeline<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also f<\/strong><strong>rom the state privatization program:<\/strong> <strong>Heliopolis Housing and Development<\/strong> is looking to pull the trigger on a secondary offering by the middle of 2022, in a revival of its plan to tap the EGX, Tawfik <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/641306a6-3955-4bf6-bf11-667c71dc756b\">said last month<\/a>. The company had initially intended to offer another 15% of its shares on the EGX last year alongside the sale of a 10% stake to a private investor, but scrapped the plans after seemingly failing to find an interested buyer. The government hasn\u2019t decided whether it will change the size of the stake sale. <strong>Mopco<\/strong> is also in the chute to tap the EGX before the end of the current fiscal year, the minister <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2021\/11\/18\/1482781\">said last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over in the private sector, we have <\/strong><strong>cosmeceuticals giant Macro Pharma<\/strong>, which is planning to offer up to 45.8% in an IPO some time <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d209b00e-3051-472d-89d7-1bdc2b7588df\">in 1Q2022<\/a>.

Al Gioshy Steel has also been <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/06\/24\/algioshy-steel-plans-egypt-ipo-in-2020\/\">toying with the idea<\/a> of an IPO for more than two years, but has delayed the decision until it sees an improvement in the market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also a promising development for next year\u2019s IPO pipeline: The entry of SPACs to the Egyptian market<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a464bafe-21f2-4b7e-a02e-63708d29114c\">November<\/a>. Within just one day of the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) approving regs for SPACs, news emerged that <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8b2b9e3c-c72c-4751-8ce4-f71fed642c87\">at least two companies<\/a> are eyeing setting up the black-check firms and list on the EGX. The availability of SPACs could provide startups \u2014 which otherwise have a hard time listing on the bourse \u2014 a chance to go public on the EGX, Farid had said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then there\u2019s the lineup of military-owned companies<\/strong> in the Sovereign Fund of Egypt-led program to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/5e7223f0-f9e2-4a3f-a311-6c4ff9efe6fd\">open them up to private ownership<\/a>, more likely through sale of a stake to a strategic investor than via IPO. <strong>Safi<\/strong>, the bottled water brand, was gearing up to sell a minority stake to a strategic investor this year, with plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d5d7a08f-8981-4c32-965f-7ae7fb4c4a23\">appetite from the market<\/a>, while <strong>Wataniya Petroleum<\/strong> was expected to sell a major stake to a strategic investor in 2H2021, having attracted several <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/5a942317-1102-4ec1-9b16-79861b30fcfd\">GCC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/7cd40893-6a1e-4d00-975c-6fa551a0f8f3\">homegrown players<\/a> looking to buy in. The SFE <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/37bfa952-3ece-471b-a4b1-d35058d0f791\">said last month<\/a> it\u2019s \u201cnearly done\u201d restructuring the two companies, but didn\u2019t give any indicator on the expected timeline. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has previously said that Egypt will look to IPO military-owned companies. Planning Minister Hala El Said had said at this time last year that both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/egypt-economy-military-int-idUSKBN28U0VN\">Safi and Wataniya could potentially offer stakes on the EGX<\/a> after an initial stake sale to a strategic investor. Our friends at EFG Hermes are quarterbacking the transactions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The (domestic) wild card: The introduction of the capital gains tax on 1 January.<\/strong> The government confirmed <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/fc92b9f8-5427-446f-a7dc-2960cc4d17a4\">in September<\/a> that it will move ahead with the introduction of the 10% tax on capital gains made by resident investors. After much fretting from investors, analysts, and MPs alike over the potential negative impact of the tithe on trading volumes, the government <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/ec6afc7f-e068-4bb3-86c2-bf392f54ae26\">rolled out a package<\/a> of tax breaks and fee cuts to cushion the blow for retail investors, which account for the majority of activity in the market on most days. Market reaction to the measures <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a9bb5c85-c555-4ea6-a922-0f718a06e365\">was largely muted<\/a>, in large part because they\u2019re going to have a much smaller impact on costs than will the capital gains tax.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The (global) wild card: Duh \u2014 Omicron.<\/strong> The recently-emerged variant has already led several countries to impose travel restrictions (and some moved towards full lockdowns) in scenes that were painfully reminiscent of the spring of 2020.
