Good morning, friends<\/strong>, and welcome to the start of a new work week and hopefully the beginning of the end to Israel\u2019s brutal war on Gaza as a ceasefire comes into effect starting in just over a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

BUT FIRST- We\u2019re super happy this morning to welcome Sekem as our newest <\/strong>commercial partner <\/strong>here at EnterpriseAM Egypt. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve known Sekem as journalists \u2014 and trusted the company\u2019s brands as consumers <\/strong>\u2014 for decades now. <\/strong>Sekem was founded in 1977 by the late Dr. Ibrahim Abouleish, who put principles of sustainable development and community engagement at the heart of his business model at a time when most companies had no clue what those words meant. Dr. Ibrahim was a national champion of desert reclamation and sustainable farming in Egypt.<\/p>\n

The company is run today by our friend Helmy Abouleish<\/strong>, whose ethics and desire to serve community and nation alike we have long admired. Helmy recently spoke with us for Going Green<\/a>, our weekly vertical on the green economy. <\/p>\n

Sekem\u2019s portfolio of companies, brands, and educational institutions <\/strong>range from the Isis line of organic products to Atos Pharma and Heliopolis University. Its products are sold at more than 90k points of sale nationwide, including supermarkets and pharmacies. <\/p>\n

We like Sekem because, like <\/strong>Enterprise<\/strong>, the company has ambition \u2014 and because they <\/strong>share our passion for exports. <\/strong>Some 60% of its products are exported, primarily to Austria, the Netherlands, and France. The company is a regional pioneer in biodynamic agriculture and is on a mission to fight climate change and improve food security through their work with tens of thousands of Egyptian farms. It\u2019s a model that Sekem is taking outside the nation\u2019s borders, too. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Please join us in welcoming Sekem to EnterpriseAM. <\/strong>It\u2019s thanks to them and our other partners that your morning read remains available to you without charge every morning. <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE-<\/p>\n

Private sector real estate players may soon be given land in exchange for dedicating<\/strong> 30% of the plot to social housing<\/strong>, under an in the works initiative by the Housing Ministry\u2019s Social Housing Fund, Tarek Shoukry, chairman of the Federation of Egyptian Industries\u2019 (FEI) real estate division, told Al Borsa<\/a>. Under the arrangement set to be finalized by June, developers will hand over the units to the government and will have free reign in the remaining 70% of the plot, he added. <\/p>\n

IN THE SENATE-<\/p>\n

Airport privatization is on the agenda at the Senate today<\/strong>, with senators reconvening after a two-week break to discuss plans to involve the private sector in the running, upgrading, and building of the nation\u2019s airports. Civil Aviation Minister Sameh El Hefny will address the room and answer senators\u2019 questions.<\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong> The Madbouly government first revealed plans last November<\/a> to invite private sector players \u2014 including foreign companies \u2014 to take over the management<\/a> of airports in the country in order to improve services and increase revenues collected by the state coffers. Momentum has been gaining around the project in the last couple of months, with the government announcing in October<\/a> that the first phase of the private sector offering would include Cairo International Airport, Sphinx International Airport, El Alamein International Airport, Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, and Hurghada International Airport. <\/p>\n

DATA POINT-<\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- <\/strong>Oil and gas companies<\/strong> have drilled 105 wells over the past six months<\/strong>, which Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly attributed in his weekly presser to the government\u2019s efforts at clearing arrears owed to international oil players and introducing fresh incentives to energy players. (watch, runtime: 42:58<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>breakdown:<\/strong> These wells \u2014 95 oil and 10 natural gas \u2014 have added 63.7k bpd of oil and 271 mn cfd of natural gas to the country\u2019s daily local energy production, which will help the state save some USD 1.5 bn in oil imports.<\/p>\n

\n

#2- Agricultural exports were up<\/strong> 15% y-o<\/strong>-y in 2024<\/strong>, increasing by 1.1 mn tons on the year before to come in at 8.6 mn tons, Agriculture Minister Alaa Farouk said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD-<\/p>\n

<\/a> It\u2019s a busy day in global news,<\/strong> with an approaching ceasefire in Gaza set to begin in just over a couple of hours, the commentariat in a frenzy ahead of Trump being inaugurated as the 47th president tomorrow, and TikTok\u2019s US operations potentially getting thrown a lifeline by the incoming administration all battling for digital ink.<\/p>\n

Our corner of the world is for the first time in a while leading with positive news<\/strong>, with a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel set to begin at 8:30am Cairo time after 15 months of a brutal assault on Gaza that has killed tens of thousands \u2014 of which the UN estimates 70% to be women and children. The Egypt, Qatar, and US-brokered agreement from today sets out a six week period that will see an end to the assault, the entry of much needed aid, and the release of 33 Israeli and 2k Palestinian hostages, followed by more released throughout the period, before the more fragile second and third phases seeking to put an end to the war for good begins. (Reuters<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | Wall Street Journal<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> <\/p>\n

But the likes of Netanyahu and other warhawks seem to already be laying the <\/strong>groundwork for a potential return to the war<\/strong>, with the Israeli prime minister saying in a televised statement just hours ahead of the ceasefire that the country\u2019s \u201ccampaign is not over\u201d and that he has both Biden and Trump\u2019s backing to restart its assault on Gaza \u201cif the second stage [of the ceasefire] is fruitless. (Guardian<\/a>)<\/p>\n

While over in business news, Trump signaled he may grant TikTok a 90-day extension to<\/strong> avoid a nationwide ban set for today<\/strong>, citing the need for a \u201cpolitical resolution.\u201d The Supreme Court upheld the ban as recently as Friday over national security concerns, giving the ByteDance-owned company the choice of divesting from its parent company or closing down its US operations.
