Good morning, all. <\/strong>It\u2019s another busy day for local business news, leaving us with a lot to look forward to \u2014 including renewed chatter about the privatization of Banque du Caire, more support for the hospitality sector, and a forum to lure in US investors. <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE-<\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- There\u2019s noise about Banque du Caire this morning<\/strong>, with Al Mal<\/a> citing unnamed sources as saying that plans are afoot to list the lender in 2H 2025.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re taking that report with a teaspoon of salt: <\/strong>Gulf-based lenders have long shown interest in BdC, with one Emirati bank having made a serious approach pre-covid, only to be rebuffed. We think it likely that Banque du Caire very much remains an acquisition target for ambitious strategics.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been plenty of Emirati appetite for good Egyptian banking and finance assets: <\/strong>The UAE\u2019s largest lender \u2014 FAB \u2014 made a run at EFG Hermes<\/a> back in 2022, while Dalia Khorshid has restored Beltone\u2019s mojo, strategic ambitions, and profitability in the two years since the investment bank was acquired by Abu Dhabi\u2019s Chimera. Chimera also took stakes in high-profile non-bank financial services outfits including GB Lease and MNT Investments. <\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT- <\/strong>The (very welcome) strategic alliance between Egypt and the UAE is clearly maturing thanks to investments including Modon-quarterbacked Ras El Hekma and Al Dahra\u2019s ambitious plans in agriculture. <\/p>\n

Recent movement on BdC: <\/strong>Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly last week used a presser<\/a> to talk up BdC as a privatization target for 2025, noting it as one of 10 names in which the state could offer stakes. He also mentioned Alexbank, which is largely held by Italian lender Intesa Sanpaolo. <\/p>\n

Our take: Don\u2019t hold your breath for an IPO. <\/strong>Banque du Caire has been a perennial privatization prospect, generally in the context of an IPO. And the state has successfully offloaded a 30% stake in CBE-owned United Bank, which hit the EGX last week following a heavily oversubscribed IPO<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Why? <\/strong>There\u2019s a massive difference in size, scope, and ambition between United and BdC. The central bank skilfully cobbled United together from smaller, non-viable institutions as part of a bold cleanup of the sector. BdC is not just one of the nation\u2019s largest lenders, it\u2019s among the crown jewels of the financial system, and the central bank together with management has long invested in preparing it for sale. With the 2025 IPO climate shrouded in uncertainty, the odds of the state getting the best possible valuation (to say nothing of finding a good \u201ccorporate parent\u201d for the bank) would be maximized by selling Banque du Caire to a qualified strategic \u2014 ideally an Emirati one.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

<\/a> #2- Egyptian-US Investment Forum in the works:<\/strong> Egypt will host the Egyptian-US Investment Forum in 1H 2025 to promote American investment in Egypt, according to a cabinet statement<\/a>. The forum will focus on exploring cooperation in key sectors and showcasing potential investments, namely in the renewables, digital transformation, automotive, and data center sectors. There\u2019s no word yet on the timing or location of the gathering. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

#3- More support for hospitality players? <\/strong>The Madbouly government is looking into launching a new initiative to support investors looking to set up new hotels in the local market, Tourism Minister Sherif Fathy said<\/a> during a presser yesterday. The initiative is pending discussions with the Finance Ministry and the central bank, seeing as they will be providing the funds needed, he explained. <\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong> The government aims to attract some 25 mn tourists annually<\/a> by 2028. To that end, it plans to add some 240-250k rooms to existing hotel room capacity. That\u2019s at least 20% more than the 200k hotel rooms<\/a> that were initially planned. The finance and tourism ministries launched the EGP 50 bn subsidized loan program for hospitality players<\/a> last month. <\/p>\n

\n

IN THE HOUSE-<\/p>\n

Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib outlined his ministry\u2019s vision in an <\/strong>address to MPs<\/a><\/strong> yesterday. The ministry\u2019s strategy focuses on creating a more attractive and competitive investment climate, enhancing the role of the private sector in the economy, and boosting exports, he told the House. \u201cWe aim to have Egypt rank among the top 20 countries in terms of foreign trade by 2030 through introducing clearcut measures that will help boost exports to above USD 145 bn,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Acknowledging the problem: <\/strong>\u201cThere are countries near us where a company can come to exist in 24 hours, and that includes Egyptian companies. We suffer from procedural burdens,\u201d El Khatib told<\/a> MPs. He also pointed to the high cost of imports \u2014 \u201cThe cost of imports in Egypt is 6x that of Morocco and 12x that of India.\u201d <\/p>\n

That\u2019s not all: <\/strong>El Khatib told the House<\/a> that there\u2019s a plan to double the assets and investments managed by the Sovereign Fund of Egypt in the coming period. The move aims to maximise returns from the state\u2019s underutilized assets through innovative management strategies and private sector partnerships.<\/p>\n

Also from yesterday\u2019s session: <\/strong>MPs preliminary approved the draft Criminal Procedures Law after weeks of discussions. The House will discuss the bill\u2019s articles in upcoming sessions. The House also greenlit a number of draft bills on maritime transport, which we dive into in this week\u2019s Hardhat in the news well, below. <\/p>\n

The House will break <\/strong>and reconvene on 29 December. <\/p>\n
