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

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

#1- <\/strong>It<\/strong> was a busy week for Egyptian-EU relations with the <\/strong>first-ever EU-Egypt Summit<\/a><\/strong> taking place in Brussels <\/strong>in the presence of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. Discussions touched on trade, security, migration, and what\u2019s next for Gaza; the two sides announced new development finance agreements that will see the EU extend over EUR 200 mn in fresh funding; they also announced a path for future cooperation.<\/p>\n

#2- More Egyptian-Indian trade ahead:<\/strong> During his time in New Delhi, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra and spoke to Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, where they agreed to boost trade between the two nations<\/a> to hit USD 12 bn, up from USD 5 bn currently.<\/p>\n

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

Egypt raised fuel prices for the second time this year<\/strong>, with fuel prices up by up to 12.9%<\/a> for conventional fuels, according to an Oil Ministry statement following a decision by its fuel pricing committee that came into effect last Friday. A government push to phase out energy subsidies and bring domestic prices in line with international energy markets has seen 95-octane prices rise by 40.7%, 92-octane by 54.0%, 80-octane by 61.4%, and diesel prices by 75.0% since the start of 2024, according to calculations by EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

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

#1- <\/strong>HSBC<\/strong> Group is launching a \u201cstrategic review\u201d of its retail business <\/strong>here<\/strong>, the global bank said in a statement (pdf)<\/a> released yesterday. HSBC Egypt\u2019s commercial and institutional banking units are not part of the review and remain core to its strategy here, it said. <\/p>\n

#2- The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) hiked the interest rates offered under its two <\/strong>subsidized mortgage finance initiatives<\/strong>, according to a circular seen by EnterpriseAM. The rate on the initiative for middle-income borrowers following the cabinet\u2019s green light has been raised<\/a> to a declining 12% from 8%, while the rate on the program for low-income borrowers increased to a declining 8% from 3%. The decision applies to all new loans issued under the two initiatives as of 15 October 2025, with no retroactive effect on existing financing.<\/p>\n

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

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) now sees Egypt\u2019s real GDP growing by 4.5% in <\/strong>the 2025-2026 fiscal year<\/strong>, a 0.4 percentage point increase from its latest forecast<\/a> in July, according to the fund\u2019s latest Regional Economic Outlook. The IMF\u2019s upward revision aligns with the Madbouly government forecast of 4.5% growth during the current fiscal year and is more optimistic than the World Bank\u2019s 4.3% forecast and the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development\u2019s 4.4% forecast.<\/p>\n

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

The government is moving ahead with plans to list the Gabal El Zeit wind farm on the <\/strong>EGX before year-end,<\/strong> likely by November or December, two government sources told EnterpriseAM. Procedures are already in motion<\/a> to float 30-40% of the farm in a sale that could raise between USD 300-400 mn, we were told.<\/p>\n

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

FinMin moves to ease tax burdens on new manufacturing projects:<\/strong> The Finance Ministry has approved a decision to suspend tax payments<\/a> on machinery, equipment, and production lines \u2014 whether complete, partial, or disassembled \u2014 until installation and inspection are completed, according to a government document seen by EnterpriseAM. The measure, approved by both the tax and customs authorities, is meant to ease cashflow pressures on manufacturers.<\/p>\n

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

New public debt strategy set for December release:<\/strong> The Finance Ministry is planning<\/a> to unveil its new public debt strategy this December, Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk told representatives from JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs in Washington, according to a ministry statement.<\/p>\n

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

The Senate <\/strong>elected<\/a><\/strong> Judge Essam Farid as president for the 2025-2030 legislative term<\/strong> \u2014 he secured 100% of the votes with no invalid ballots, according to a statement seen by EnterpriseAM. Farid had a long career as part of Egypt\u2019s legal system and is currently a member of the Supreme Judicial Council.<\/p>\n

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

Four Chinese textile companies will <\/strong>invest USD 65 mn<\/a><\/strong> to set up factories in ElSewedy <\/strong>Industrial Development\u2019s Sokhna 360 industrial city<\/strong>, according to a Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) statement. The four factories will cover 238k sqm and create over 3k direct jobs. No further details were provided regarding the projects.<\/p>\n

REAL ESTATE- <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Housing Ministry has launched a new mortgage financing initiative<\/strong> in partnership with Banque Misr, CIB, QNB Al Ahli, and Arab African International Mortgage Finance, according to a ministry statement. The initiative<\/a> covers residential, administrative, and commercial units offered by the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA).<\/p>\n

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

The Investment Ministry has finalized the country\u2019s <\/strong>new trade policy document<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 seen by EnterpriseAM \u2014 aimed at crafting policies that deepen local manufacturing and reducing imports of intermediate and capital goods, while expanding exports of goods with comparative advantages \u2014 in line with the government\u2019s plan to double exports.<\/p>\n

MEANWHILE- A large-scale Russian aerial attack on Ukraine on Wednesday <\/strong>killed at<\/a><\/strong>least six people<\/a><\/strong>, including two children, left at least 17 others wounded, and caused a nationwide power outage. Residential areas and energy infrastructure sites were targeted across Kyiv, the Poltava region, the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, and the port city of Izmail. The attack came just hours following US President Donald Trump\u2019s statement that a now-shelved meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin would be futile after Russia rejected Trump\u2019s ceasefire proposal. (BBC<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | Guardian<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | Associated Press<\/a>)<\/p>\n

THE<\/strong> DAY AFTER-<\/strong> US President Donald Trump imposed Ukraine-related sanctions on <\/strong>Russia for the first time since taking office earlier this year<\/strong>, sanctioning<\/a> the country\u2019s two biggest oil companies, Roseneft and Lukoil. The decision follows the cancellation of a planned summit between the US and Russia, and a subsequent large-scale Russian aerial attack on Ukraine that killed at least six people and targeted both residential areas and energy infrastructure sites across the country. (Financial Times<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | Guardian<\/a>)<\/p>\n

CLOSER TO HOME- US Vice President JD Vance <\/strong>expressed his optimism<\/a><\/strong> about the <\/strong>future <\/strong>of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza during his visit to Israel.<\/strong> \u201cThere are going to be moments where it looks like things aren\u2019t going particularly well. But given that, and given the history of conflict, I think that everybody should be proud of where we are today,\u201d Vance said. Earlier this week, the Israeli military launched an aerial attack on the enclave after accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire agreement<\/a>, killing at least 97 Palestinians since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October. (Guardian<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | BBC<\/a> | Axios<\/a>)<\/p>\n

AND- Massive crowds of protestors <\/strong>gathered across cities in the US<\/a><\/strong> last Saturday as <\/strong>part of the No Kings movement against US President Donald Trump\u2019s policies<\/strong>, marking the second wave of such protests this year, following the June demonstrations. Demonstrators are protesting against Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown, restrictions on press freedom, push to deploy National Guard troops to American cities, \u201cauthoritarian\u201d agenda, and crackdown on First Amendment rights. Republicans and Trump allies branded the protests as anti-American, and a far-left Antifa movement. (Reuters<\/a> | AP<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | CNN<\/a>)<\/p>\n
