For EFG Holding \u2014 particularly considering the volatility of the Egyptian market and its macro conditions over the past several years \u2014 embedding resilience and building a shock-ready business model were existential imperatives, Awad said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When its core capital market business began facing volatility following the 2011 <\/strong><strong>revolution, EFG focused first on controlling internal variables.<\/strong> \u201cThe first thing that we had to do to build a resilient model is control what we had under our control, which was our cost base. We started cutting our costs and became leaner to make sure that if any further shocks come in the future, we\u2019re ready for them.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Beyond cost reduction, EFG Holding had to fundamentally break and rebuild its<\/strong><strong> structure.<\/strong> The strategy required abandoning comfortable, profitable but ultimately \u201cnon-synergistic\u201d assets, pointing to EFG\u2019s decision to exit Credit Libanais in 2018. The move to sell the asset and pivot came as the firm prioritized building a resilient structure. EFG Holding has also focused on diversification \u2014 both geographically and through lines of business \u2014 with an expanded presence and commitment across the region. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That entailed investing \u201ca lot more effort\u201d into markets like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the<\/strong><strong> UAE<\/strong>, while product diversification helped EFG mitigate its exposure to capital markets volatility. These diversified products provide \u201cannuities and make sure that the business is shock ready for anything that comes in the future.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Leading successful transitions with the aim of building a resilient business also requires<\/strong><strong> governance<\/strong>, Awad stressed. Leaders need to be willing to \u201cbreak things again,\u201d even if it means sacrificing short-term performance in favor of the long-term strategy: \u201cYou have to have a patient board because sometimes breaking things means that you do not have the actual quarterly earnings that you want to achieve and that things take time to build.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ALSO FROM FII9: EFG\u2019s Ebeid touches on the regional angle of financial deglobalization:<\/strong> Capital flows in the Middle East have seen a gradual recalibration, with a shift from \u201cjust exporting capital\u201d from the GCC in particular towards a more balanced capital flow structure where partnerships are the name of the game, Mohamed Ebeid, Co-CEO of EFG Hermes said at FII9 (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a537e0Z3IO4&t=6580s\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">watch, runtime: 28:40<\/a>). Speaking at a panel alongside Islamic Development Bank Chairman Muhammad Al Jasser and Head of Investment and Corporate Banking at Mizuho Americas, Michal Katz, among others, Ebeid noted that \u201cthere have been a lot of partnerships coming from international investors; rather than just trying to do one-time offshore business, now they\u2019re doing it more with local institutions and sovereign wealth funds in a more balanced way.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That shift has also presented itself in how financing happens:<\/strong> \u201cRather than looking at global syndication from global banks, there have been sovereign sukuk issuances from governments [in the region] and different local institutions. There\u2019s more dependency on regional private wealth, Ebeid noted. EFG Hermes\u2019 IPO agreements also tell the same story in ECMs: In 2024, EFG Hermes led c.USD 18 bn worth of ECM transactions, with local and regional institutions, family offices, and high net worth individuals accounting for 70% on average of any transaction. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to build a resilient company \u2014 and ensure its survival amid headwinds: EFG Holding has focused on building a resilient and shock-immune company over the past several years as the goal became \u201cnot a choice, but a matter of survival,\u201d CEO Karim Awad said at FII9 in Riyadh last week, where EFG Hermes was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":674733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7279],"tags":[7107,72,2073],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-674732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spotlight","tag-efg-holding","tag-enterpriseam","tag-spotlight","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"72b1a74b-ded1-459e-a951-eeebdc036148","order":"9","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/11\/97.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"EFG Holding\u2019s Karim Awad, Mohamed Ebeid talk resilience and financial deglobalization at FII9","related_issue":[674717],"teaser":"","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2025\/11\/.b9260b3c-cf5c-4c26-8bc2-358f824c989d.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
