Good morning, friends. <\/strong>Happy Mawlid Al Nabi and welcome to a long-awaited long weekend. With more time on your hands, there\u2019s much to do and see, and we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n

Have you found yourself marvelling at small beauties lately? <\/strong>Well, how about you dedicate some time to properly peruse Cairo\u2019s art galleries and exhibitions? In this week\u2019s edition of The Enterprise Guide, we\u2019re listing down our favorite artsy havens and exhibitions you shouldn\u2019t miss out on.<\/p>\n

?\ufe0f LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-<\/p>\n

ECONOMY- <\/strong><\/p>\n

T<\/strong>he economy grew at a 4.5% clip during the fiscal year 2024-2025<\/strong>, exceeding<\/a> the 4.2% penciled in in the draft budget and almost doubling y-o-y from the 2.4% recorded in FY 2023-2024, Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk said during a presser attended by EnterpriseAM earlier this week. External debt fell USD 1 bn last fiscal year, and by about USD 4 bn over the past two years, this pushed the debt-to-GDP ratio to 85.6% in June 2025 from 89.4% in June 2024. <\/p>\n

BANKING-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local banks are starting to lower interest rates<\/strong> on savings products following the central bank\u2019s 200 bps rate cut last week, with Banque Misr and the National Bank of Egypt (NBE) leading the way<\/a>.<\/p>\n

INVESTMENT WATCH- <\/strong><\/p>\n

China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) is <\/strong>looking to invest USD 1 bn in Egypt<\/a><\/strong> over the next five years<\/strong> in desalination, renewables, and energy storage, Chairman Ni Zhen told Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus summit. The company is also in talks with the Electricity Ministry over the possibility of investing in power generation, Zhen said.<\/p>\n

ENERGY-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Egypt will begin construction of a long-stalled gas pipeline with Israel next year<\/strong>, a<\/a>government source told EnterpriseAM<\/a>, adding that the project was agreed to years ago, but was put on hold due to financial issues and geopolitical turmoil. This comes as we prepare to more than double Leviathan gas imports under the recently inked USD 35 bn agreement to send 130 bn cubic metres of gas to Egypt from 2026 through 2040.<\/p>\n

DEBT WATCH- <\/strong><\/p>\n

#1- <\/strong>The Madbouly government plans to take <\/strong>EGP 25 bn worth of local sukuk to market<\/a><\/strong> this fiscal year<\/strong>, with the first issuance to take place before the end of 2025, a senior government official told EnterpriseAM. The Finance Ministry has finalized the sukuk program\u2019s schedule, the source said, adding that the issuances will come in the form of short- and medium-term tranches.<\/p>\n

#2- <\/strong>Gov\u2019t ramps up borrowing target for the month<\/strong>: The Finance Ministry has upped its monthly borrowing target<\/a> for September to EGP 838 bn, a 25% jump from August\u2019s EGP 670 bn, a government source told EnterpriseAM. This move comes in response to the heightened demand from investors for local debt instruments.<\/p>\n

DIPLOMACY- <\/strong> <\/p>\n

Egypt and Qatar are moving closer to activating the USD 7.5 bn Qatari direct investment package<\/strong>. The meeting<\/a> between Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani addressed steps to activate the investment package, which was first announced during President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s visit to Qatar in April, and reviewed ways to facilitate Qatari investments and engagement with Egypt\u2019s business community.<\/p>\n

AUTOMOTIVE-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auto sales fell 4.9% m-o-m in July to 15.6k units from <\/strong>June\u2019s 16.4k<\/strong>, according to figures from the Automotive Marketing Information Council (Amic) seen by EnterpriseAM. The dip comes after five straight months of gains<\/a> which started in February, though July still marked the second-highest total vehicle count since June 2022.<\/p>\n

\n

AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS- <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tariffs hit a snag: <\/strong>A US court of appeals ruled<\/a> last Friday that President Trump\u2019s aggressive trade agenda is overstepping his presidential authority. The ruling blocks sweeping tariffs on all imports from countries, but does not affect tariffs on specific industries like steel, aluminum, and autos.<\/p>\n

ALSO IN THE US- <\/strong>Gold prices rose<\/a> to fresh highs as traders reacted to a weakening greenback and expectations of a Fed rate cut this month. The price of gold rose above USD USD 3.5k per ounce this week. Meanwhile, silver hit a 14-year high of USD 41.00 per ounce. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

OVER IN THE BUSINESS PRESS- <\/strong>Nestle fired CEO Laurent Freixe after an investigation<\/a> confirmed he breached the company\u2019s code of conduct by engaging in an \u201cundisclosed romantic relationship\u201d with a direct subordinate. The move takes place exactly a year after he took office. <\/p>\n

Google won\u2019t have to sell Chrome after all: <\/strong>Tech giant Google will not be forced to sell<\/a>Chrome<\/a> or Android, according to the US Department of Justice ruling, instead it will be required to share more data with competitors and limit its exclusive distribution contracts \u2014 including its exclusive partnership with Apple for its Gemini chatbot. The ruling follows last year\u2019s verdict that Google illegally monopolized the online search market.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake in Afghanistan left over 1k dead and 2.8k injured late Sunday<\/strong>. The quake struck 27 km from Jalalabad, with its impact felt in the Afghan capital of Kabul 161 km away, CNN reported<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Another natural disaster followed<\/strong>, with a landslide in western Sudan killing<\/a> at least 370 people. The Sudan Liberation Movement, which is in control of the affected Marra Mountains area, claimed that the death toll surpassed 1k. The landslide was triggered by days of heavy rain, and left the village of Tarasin flattened. The natural disaster is among the deadliest in Sudan\u2019s recent history. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

Israeli airstrikes on Yemen <\/strong>killed Houthi\u2019s Prime Minister<\/a><\/strong> Ahmed Al Rahawi <\/strong>and several political leaders last Thursday. The news came as Hamas also confirmed the death of military chief Mohammad Sinwar.<\/p>\n

ALSO- <\/strong>Israel said it killed<\/a> Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida on Saturday. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a post<\/a> on X that forces have \u201celiminated\u201d the masked spokesman.<\/p>\n
