Good morning, friends, and welcome to the weekend.<\/strong> We hope the cooler weather encourages us to venture outside and bask in the warm September sun before we prepare for a new week.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s edition of The Enterprise Guide, we\u2019re listing down our favorite gardens <\/strong>and green areas in Greater Cairo<\/strong>. From vast gardens you can visit today to new ones on our radar, these are the outdoor escapes from a fast-paced life.<\/p>\n

Enterprise Weekend comes out each Friday at 9:00am CLT.<\/strong> We\u2019ll be back on Sunday at 6am with EnterpriseAM. Until then: Enjoy the weekend.<\/p>\n

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

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

The government completed a <\/strong>census<\/a><\/strong> of state-owned companies<\/strong>, which market watchers consider to be one of the most important steps yet in the state\u2019s privatization program and a move that will shape the pipeline of IPOs that is said to hit the EGX in the coming weeks or so. The census will anchor the updated State Ownership Policy Document and guide decisions on which companies will be offered to investors as minority stake sales and IPOs.<\/p>\n

ALSO- The IMF will send a mission on 1 October to wrap up its fifth and <\/strong>sixth reviews of our USD 8 bn Extended Fund Facility Arrangement,<\/strong> a senior government official told EnterpriseAM<\/a>. Furthermore, the International Monetary Fund\u2019s (IMF) Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) could add a further USD 274 mn<\/a> to the total amount disbursed to us this fall, once the fifth and sixth reviews of our USD 8 bn Extended Fund Facility are approved, which Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk is optimistic about<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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

An Egyptian-Saudi consortium is looking into setting up a <\/strong>USD 1 bn Downtown Cairo<\/a><\/strong>redevelopment project<\/a><\/strong>. The consortium includes Saudi\u2019s Sumou Holding, its subsidiary Adeer International, and local players Midar and Hassan Allam. The project would tie into the Sovereign Fund of Egypt\u2019s plans to offer up the Ministries Square area and Downtown assets to investors as part of its privatization and redevelopment push for the area.<\/p>\n

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

#1-<\/strong> Chevron and its Israeli Leviathan partners NewMed Energy and Ratio Energies <\/strong>inked a <\/strong>USD 610 mn agreement<\/a><\/strong> with pipeline operator Israel Natural Gas Lines<\/strong> to build the long-awaited Nitzana pipeline connecting Israel and Egypt. The 600 mn cubic feet a day (mcf\/d) pipeline stretching 65 km between Israel\u2019s southern gas network and Egypt\u2019s gas network in eastern Sinai will bring Israel\u2019s export capacity to Egypt to 2.2 bcf\/d when construction wraps up in 2028.<\/p>\n

#2- The Oil Ministry has inked <\/strong>three new oil and gas exploration agreements<\/a><\/strong> worth <\/strong>more than USD 121<\/strong> mn across the Western Desert, Gulf of Suez, and North Sinai, according to a statement. The agreements include a USD 46 mn reassignment of the North Sinai Offshore area to Perenco Egypt to drill three wells with a USD 1 mn signature bonus; a USD 40.5 mn agreement with UAE\u2019s Dragon Oil to drill three wells in East El Hamd, with a USD 4.5 mn bonus; and a USD 35 mn agreement with Apache to add five new exploration areas in the Western Desert, covering 14 wells and carrying a USD 25 mn bonus.<\/p>\n

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

Egypt praised the UN General Assembly's vote to agree to steps toward a two-state <\/strong>solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict<\/strong>, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement<\/a>. The votes in support of the motion from 142 nations shows \u201ccompelling evidence of the widespread international support for legitimate Palestinian rights,\u201d according to the statement. <\/p>\n

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

#1- The Finance Ministry kick-started community dialogue sessions on the second <\/strong>package of tax facilities set to launch in 4Q 2025<\/strong>, a senior government source told EnterpriseAM<\/a>. Meetings were held with major accounting and tax consultancy firms to identify problems and challenges facing large local and foreign companies in preparation to address them in the new package.<\/p>\n

#2- Gov\u2019t scrapped plans to register foreign crude suppliers ahead of implementing <\/strong>recent VAT amendments that would see them face a 10% tax<\/strong>, three government sources told EnterpriseAM<\/a>. Foreign firms will be exempt from e-invoicing; instead, they will submit a simplified request and a declaration of the quantities supplied to the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC). The VAT amendments also impact construction and contracting services, making them subject to the standard 14% VAT rate. <\/p>\n

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

The government is looking to increase the tourism sector\u2019s annual revenue to USD <\/strong>24.0 bn by the fiscal year 2028-2029<\/strong>, up over 40% from last fiscal year\u2019s USD 16.7 bn<\/a>, according to a government document detailing the National Tourism Development Strategy 2030 seen by EnterpriseAM. The targeted increase in revenues will be accompanied by a rise in tourist footfall to 30 mn by the end of the decade, up from 15.7 mn in 2024, and an increase in the average stay from 10.5 to 11 nights.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

ALL<\/strong> EYES ON THE REGION- Israeli forces have once more intensified their ground <\/strong>offensive in Gaza City<\/strong>, despite international condemnation and a UN declaration that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. The attack is straining crucial regional relationships<\/a>, most notably with Egypt. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi referred to Israel as \u201can enemy\u201d during a speech at the Qatar summit yesterday \u2014 the first time an Egyptian leader has used such language since signing the peace treaty in 1979. (NYT<\/a> | AP<\/a>)<\/p>\n

ALSO- Qatar\u2019s emir has urged Arab and Muslim leaders to take \u201cconcrete steps\u201d <\/strong>against Israel<\/strong> after missile strikes in Doha targeted Hamas leadership. In his speech during last week\u2019s emergency Arab-Islamic summit, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani denounced the attack<\/a> as \u201cblatant, treacherous and cowardly\u201d and accused Israel of waging a \u201cgenocidal war\u201d on Palestinians. El Sisi attended the summit, where he delivered his own speech condemning Israel\u2019s attack and expressing Egypt\u2019s solidarity with Qatar.<\/p>\n

MEANWHILE- Saudi Arabia has inked a strategic <\/strong>mutual defense pact<\/a><\/strong> with Pakistan<\/strong> \u2014 a move analysts see as Riyadh signalling it wants to diversify its security ties after the shock of last week\u2019s Israeli strikes in Doha. The agreement commits the two countries to treat any attack on one as an attack on both. (Reuters<\/a> | Washington Post<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\n

\n

OVER IN THE BUSINESS PRESS- Fed cut interest rates for the first time since<\/strong> December <\/strong>\u2014 a 25 bps move designed to shore up a labor market showing clear signs of strain. The cut fell short<\/a> of the deeper reductions pushed by President Donald Trump. (Reuters<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | Wall Street Journal<\/a>)<\/p>\n

ALSO- Alphabet <\/strong>became<\/a><\/strong> the fourth US company to hit a market cap of USD 3 tn<\/strong> last week after shares hit a record USD 252 on Monday on the back of investor optimism following the company\u2019s July results. (Financial Times<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | CNBC<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | Wall Street Journal<\/a>)<\/p>\n

AND- The Cyberspace Administration of China has <\/strong>ordered<\/a><\/strong> the state\u2019s top <\/strong>technology firms to cancel all purchases of all artificial intelligence chips from US tech company Nvidia<\/strong> in a bid to cut down on US reliance. The news follows a ruling earlier this week which saw the East Asian state accuse Nvidia of violating the country\u2019s anti-trust laws, following a \u201cpreliminary probe\u201d into its business practices. (Financial Times<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\n

\n

OVER IN THE US- A New York judge <\/strong>dismissed<\/a><\/strong> two terrorism charges against Luigi <\/strong>Mangione<\/strong> \u2014 the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson \u2014 while allowing other counts including second-degree murder to proceed. The high-profile case, which has attracted national and international attention since Thompson was shot outside a midtown Manhattan hotel in December, now heads toward trial with Mangione still facing a potential life sentence in state court and the death penalty on federal charges. (Financial Times<\/a> | BBC<\/a> | The Guardian<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n

MEANWHILE<\/strong>- Popular US late-night television show Jimmy Kimmel Live has been <\/strong>taken off air<\/a><\/strong> \u201cindefinitely\u201d<\/strong> following comments made earlier this week about the suspected assassin<\/a> of popular podcaster and conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The comedian and host alluded to the suspect\u2019s \u2014 22-year-old Tyler Robinson \u2014 support for US President Donald Trump\u2019s Maga movement, and the administration\u2019s subsequent attempts to \u201ccharacterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,\u201d Kimmel said on Monday. <\/p>\n

ALSO WORTH NOTING<\/strong>- A wave of Gen Z revolutions<\/a> is reshaping Asian politics, as youthful protesters from Nepal to Bangladesh and Indonesia mobilize social media platforms to topple entrenched leaders, demand transparency, and challenge corrupt elites. (Financial Times<\/a>)<\/p>\n
