However, in terms of value, domestic transactions saw a 61% y-o-y drop clocking in at USD 727 mn, while cross-border M&As totaled USD 2.8 bn, up from USD 2.3 bn in 2023. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>UAE players were the most active foreign buyers of Egyptian companies in 2024, <\/strong>closing 15 transactions, followed by the US (10) and Saudi Arabia (8). Inbound transactions dominated the country\u2019s cross-border M&A scene last year with 89 transactions worth USD 2 bn. The material industry captured most of this volume with 14 transactions, followed by the financial sector (13) and the advanced tech sector (10). In terms of value, the energy and power sector was crowned king with transactions worth USD 1 bn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Saudi Arabia emerged as a top destination for Egypt\u2019s outbound M&A investments<\/strong>, with five transactions closed last year, followed by Jordan (3) and the UAE (3). Within outbound flows, the financial sector led in terms of transaction volume (5), while real estate dominated in terms of value, with agreements totaling USD 828 mn. Outbound transactions accounted for only 15% of Egypt\u2019s aggregate cross-border transactions with 16 M&As totaling USD 835 mn in 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Bucking the trend globally: <\/strong>The global M&A transaction count was down by 13.7% y-o-y last year.
