It was a record 1H for MENA\u2019s fintech sector<\/strong>, with both transactions and funding surging despite overall weaker global venture flows, according to a Magnitt report (pdf)<\/a> and accompanying press release (pdf)<\/a>. The region logged 93 transactions, up 69% y-o-y and reversing two years of declines, while funding tripled to USD 598 mn \u2014 its strongest half on record.<\/p>\n

UAE + Saudi drove the rebound:<\/strong> The UAE led on volume with 39 transactions (+63% y-o-y) and USD 240 mn raised (+227%), overtaking Singapore as the top emerging-market hub by transaction count. Saudi Arabia followed with 29 transactions (+142%) but led on total funding value, having raised USD 274 mn (+276%) on the back of Tabby\u2019s USD 160 mn mega-round. Together, the two markets accounted for nearly three quarters of regional activity and 86% of funding.<\/p>\n

Egypt also gained traction<\/strong>, closing 12 agreements (+50%) and attracting USD 76 mn (+101%), marking its third consecutive half of growth.<\/p>\n

Total agreement volume was up 8% across the wider emerging venture markets (EVMs)<\/strong>, with total EVM fintech investments rising 4% y-o-y to USD 1.7 bn across 182 transactions.<\/strong> Singapore remained the largest funding hub with USD 699 mn, despite a slight 2% dip. South Africa ranked behind the top three, while C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire sat at the bottom with USD 17 mn. <\/p>\n

By sub-sector: <\/strong>Payment solutions dominated in the region, attracting USD 232 mn (+178% y-o-y) and nearly 40% of funding \u2014 anchored by Tabby\u2019s investment round and smaller rounds for Stitch.sa, Enza, and Octane. Lending grew the fastest, with funding up 500% to USD 83 mn and transaction count nearly tripling. Banking infrastructure along with personal finance and wealth management saw solid growth, while the cryptocurrency sub-index posted a 14% dip.<\/p>\n

Investor interest extended across stages:<\/strong> Non-mega funding rose 36% y-o-y to USD 1.2 bn across EVMs, offsetting a 37% drop in mega rounds. Early-stage activity fueled much of the UAE\u2019s rise. International participation hit a five-year high, while M&A activity picked up \u2014 with six fintech acquisitions in 1H 2025 compared to eight in all of 2024.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead: <\/strong>\u201cWith record investor participation, rising international interest, and a steady flow of early-stage [transactions], momentum is building across the ecosystem, and it shows no likely signs of slowing down,\u201d said Magnitt\u2019s Farah El Nahlawi.<\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

Asia-Pacific markets are once again firmly in the green in early morning trading<\/strong>, following the release of inflation data in China, which showed prices dropping 0.4% in August. Markets in Asia are also getting a shot in the arm as Asian companies that are part of Apple\u2019s supply chain \u2014 including Foxconn and Samsung Electronics \u2014 are trading up after the iPhone maker released new iPhone models yesterday. <\/p>\n

Futures suggest a similarly positive open for Wall Street later today<\/strong>, as investors keep their eyes on fresh US inflation figures set to be released today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n
