<\/a> Boom time for Egypt M&A: <\/strong>The value of M&A transactions in Egypt more than quadrupled y-o-y during the first half of 2021 as the effects of cheap borrowing and economic optimism that has fuelled a surge in consolidation globally<\/a> were felt here at home. Egypt saw transactions worth more than USD 4 bn during the six-month period, up significantly from USD 906 mn during the same time in 2020, according to figures published (pdf)<\/a> yesterday by Baker McKenzie in a release that built on the firm\u2019s regional figures published last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Egypt appears to have seen more M&A in 1H2021 than in all of 2020:<\/strong> There were 111 transactions in the January-June period this year, up 50% from 1H2020, where Baker McKenzie counted 74 transactions. Our in-house M&A tracker recorded a total of 110 transactions in all of 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Domestic transactions had a slight edge in 1H2021<\/strong>, with 59 domestic transactions versus 52 cross-border arrangements. As you might expect, though, the total value of cross-border M&A came in ahead, though, in overall value USD 2.8 bn, up from USD 744 mn last year.<\/p>\n

The value of the domestic market skyrocketed by tenfold:<\/strong> Domestic transactions were valued at USD 1.6 bn, up from just USD 162 mn in 1H2020. The number of cross-border transactions, meanwhile, rose to 52 from 32 last year.<\/p>\n

March was the best month for M&A in the first half<\/strong>, with 25 transactions worth a combined USD 2.2 bn.<\/p>\n

Cross-border M&A was largely inbound to Egypt<\/strong>, with 39 transactions worth USD 2.5 bn, while the remaining 13 transactions worth USD 231 mn were made by Egyptian companies on targets abroad. The UAE was the biggest investor in Egypt by volume and value<\/strong>, with 11 transactions amounting to USD 1.7 bn. The US, Saudi Arabia and the UK followed for the most transactions made in Egypt, while Libya was the second-largest investor in Egypt by value. The health care industry saw the most inbound M&A by value<\/strong>, with USD 1.5 bn, while the financials industry saw the most transactions with 10, increasing from just one transaction in 1H2020.<\/p>\n

The UAE was also the top target country for Egyptian investors by volume with five recorded transactions, <\/strong>while Ghana took the top spot by value thanks to Mansour Group\u2019s USD 121 mn acquisition<\/a> of the country\u2019s Right to Dream football academies. Consumer products and services alongside energy were among the top sectors for outbound M&A from Egypt.<\/p>\n

Egypt was also the most popular target country in the region for inbound M&A from investors outside the Middle East by value, <\/strong>and the second most popular by volume, with 18 transactions worth USD 1.8 bn, Baker McKenzie said last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Global dealmaking has surged this year,<\/strong> putting 2021 on course to smash records, as we noted last week<\/a>. But Baker McKenzie\u2019s regional figures show a slightly different story, suggesting by its math that total regional transaction values actually fell slightly this year, reaching USD 40.3 bn from USD 43.5 bn in 1H2020, despite the number of transactions rising by almost 60% to 307. Egypt appears to have bucked that trend, with the increase in overall transaction value far outpacing the rise in volume \u2014 making its M&A performance so far this year all the more impressive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
