Good morning, al<\/strong>l.<\/strong> We have another busy issue for you this morning to ring in the first hump day of May. Leading today\u2019s issue is the central bank\u2019s balance of payments report for the first half of the current fiscal year. Meanwhile, Egypt is inching closer to the liberalization of the electricity market, and a team from the IMF is inbound as the institution prepares to kick off its fifth review. <\/p>\n

FACT CHECK-<\/p>\n

Our friends at Hassan Allam Holding aren\u2019t planning to list their <\/strong>construction arm<\/strong>, contrary to a report making the rounds in other media yesterday. A company official tells us that the regional construction, engineering, and infrastructure giant has no intention of taking Hassan Allam Construction. A report had claimed the company planned to execute the transaction this month via a SPAC listing on the Egyptian Exchange. <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE-<\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- A team fro<\/strong>m the <\/strong>IMF<\/strong> is en route to Egypt: <\/strong>\u201cA team from the International Monetary Fund will begin the fifth review of the Extended Fund Facility Arrangement in Cairo this week. Further details will be communicated at the conclusion of the mission,\u201d IMF Press Officer Angham Al Shami said in a note seen by EnterpriseAM. <\/p>\n

What to expect: <\/strong>The preliminary mission from the Fund is set to touch down in Egypt at some point this week to begin reviewing data ahead of a two-week visit from a full mission in preparation for a staff report later down the line, three government sources told EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re told that the Finance Ministry will present reports detailing reform progress<\/strong>, the draft budget for the upcoming fiscal year, and updated versions of the state's debt and tax policy documents. Also in the schedule are meetings with officials from the investment and international cooperation ministries and the central bank to discuss expected FX inflows, upcoming investment agreements, and the plan to boost FX reserves.<\/p>\n

Once the mission reviews and analyzes the data, a full IMF delegation will arrive to <\/strong>complete the review<\/strong> and issue its report on whether Egypt has passed the fifth review, which will be passed on to the IMF\u2019s Executive Board for approval.<\/p>\n

The government expects to unlock a USD 1.3 bn disbursement from the review.<\/strong> While no timeline has been confirmed yet, we can expect the next disbursement in June, one of the sources told us.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- <\/strong>A<\/strong> tranche of t<\/strong>he EUR 4 bn grant from the EU could land in state coffers <\/strong>within weeks<\/strong>, EU Ambassador to Cairo Angelina Eichhorst told MENA news agency<\/a>. The financing \u2014 part of a broader EUR 5 bn macro-financial assistance package agreed in March 2024 \u2014 was approved by the European Parliament last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Talks are still ongoing: <\/strong>Egyptian-EU discussions regarding Egypt\u2019s reforms agenda under the assistance package are still ongoing, <\/strong>Planning Minister Rania Al Mashat told EnterpriseAM. Egypt is following up with the European Commission on the structural reform measures tied to the second phase of the package, she said.<\/p>\n

\n

#3- The state <\/strong>is considering a proposal to allow every family to <\/strong>purchase a residential unit with affordable mortgage terms<\/strong>, including a subsidized interest rate and a repayment period of eight years at most, according to a cabinet statement<\/a>. The initial plan prohibits selling the properties for a certain period of time.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING TODAY-<\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- We will g<\/strong>et our first insight into how Trump\u2019s tariffs are affecting the country\u2019s private <\/strong>sector later today<\/strong> with the release of Egypt\u2019s PMI data for April from S&P Global. The country\u2019s PMI slipped back into contraction territory<\/a> in March after two months of modest growth, dragged down by weakening demand and slower output.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- President<\/strong> of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development <\/strong>(EBRD) Odile Renaud-Basso will conclude her two-day visit to Egypt today. <\/strong>While in Egypt, Renaud-Basso\u2019s agenda includes meetings with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly, some other members of the Madbouly cabinet, and private sector players. <\/p>\n

Renaud-Basso hailed Egypt as one of the EBRD\u2019s most strategic markets<\/strong>, saying the bank is \u201cfully committed to supporting inclusive and sustainable economic growth, unlocking the vast potential of Egypt\u2019s green economy, and creating opportunities through private sector development, investment in critical infrastructure and job creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Planning Minister Rania Al Mashat emphasized Egypt\u2019s efforts to scale back public <\/strong>investment and make room for private capital<\/strong> during her meeting with Renaud-Basso yesterday, according to a statement<\/a>. Al Mashat noted that Egypt\u2019s private sector development financing hit a five-year high in 2024, surpassing government financing for the first time. The two also discussed preparations for the EBRD\u2019s 2025 Annual Meeting and Business Forum<\/a> in London on 13-15 May, set to foster further cooperation.<\/p>\n

\n

#3- It\u2019s the second <\/strong>and final day of the D-8 ministerial meeting on tourism taking place in <\/strong>Cairo. <\/strong>The meeting discussed increasing sector cooperation between member states \u2014 Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt \u2014 and who the group will choose as its tourism capital, according to a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

#4- It\u2019s the<\/strong> fina<\/strong>l day<\/strong> of Siemens Mobility\u2019s two-day Mobility Talk student summit held at <\/strong>Cairo University<\/strong>, a company statement (pdf)<\/a> reads. The summit brings together over 2k engineering students and fresh grads for panels, workshops, and front-row seats to Egypt\u2019s high-speed rail project \u2014 part of Siemens\u2019 drive to localize talent and build out the country\u2019s rail workforce.<\/p>\n

HAPPENING TOMORROW- <\/p>\n

The <\/strong>2025 Pan Arab Junior and Ladies Golf Championship<\/a><\/strong> is kicking off tomorrow<\/strong> at Madinaty and Katameya Dunes. The four-day tournament is open to players from members of the Arab Golf Federation across multiple age groups and includes a ladies\u2019 category. The event will be open to spectators with a golf festival and other activities to draw in new audiences.<\/p>\n

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

Gaza campaign intensifies: <\/strong>Israel\u2019s cabinet approved plans<\/a> yesterday to control large parts of Gaza indefinitely and relocate Palestinians to \u201csterile zones\u201d all across the strip, while taking over aid distribution. Israeli officials signalled the intensive plan will be implemented only if a ceasefire failed to materialize by the time US President Trump leaves the region after his anticipated gulf summit in mid-May.<\/p>\n

Houthis are not backing down: <\/strong>Despite intensifying strikes by the US and allies, the militant group announced a \u201ccomprehensive\u201d aerial blockade<\/a> on Israel, promising to repeatedly target key airports and urging international airlines to cancel all flights to Israeli airports.<\/p>\n

ALSO- <\/strong>OpenAI listened to widespread criticism and decided to halt plans<\/a> to turn for-profit. The plan would have spun the ChatGPT maker into an independent entity from the nonprofit that currently holds a controlling stake, which raised concerns<\/a> of subverting governance safeguards that are supposed to keep AI tech development in check.<\/p>\n

AND- <\/strong>Trump is threatening tariffs (what else is new?) that could reach 100% on films made<\/a>outside of the US<\/a>, a move that could significantly hurt movie production in many regions, including the Middle East.<\/p>\n
