At this year\u2019s EnterpriseAM Egypt Forum, we sat down with Moustafa Gad, global head of investment banking at EFG Hermes; Amr Helal, CEO of the sell-side at CI Capital; and Bassem Fayek, managing director and partner at BCG Cairo<\/strong>, to talk about what it will take to get Egypt\u2019s capital markets back on a sustainable growth path after years of turbulence. As the panelists agreed, the real question isn\u2019t whether the worst is over \u2014 it\u2019s whether this rebound can actually last. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re off life support, maybe not out of the hospital yet, but clearly recovering,\u201d<\/strong> Helal said. Sentiment has shifted from mere survival to cautious optimism. Gad agreed, saying the rebound is underpinned by genuine progress \u2014 lower inflation, a more stable EGP, and stronger banking-sector liquidity \u2014 all reflections of deeper monetary policy reform.<\/p>\n

Sustainability is the new stability: <\/strong>Sustaining momentum will take fiscal discipline, structural reform, and deeper foreign participation, Gad said. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen rebounds before,\u201d he added, pointing to similar cycles in 2016 and 2017 that eventually lost steam. \u201cThe question investors are asking now is: what\u2019s different this time?\u201d Gad said foreign investors are looking for clarity on what comes next. \u201cInvestors need a crisp story \u2014 what the economy will look like in five years, which sectors Egypt is betting on, and where the private sector fits in.\u201d Meanwhile, Helal noted that foreign investors are dipping their toes back in, encouraged by macro stability and reform progress. If that continues, \u201c2026 will be a good year.\u201d<\/p>\n

A global tailwind to catch: <\/strong>Helal added that the broader backdrop could also work in Egypt\u2019s favor. Volatility, tariff tensions, and shifting supply chains are driving renewed interest in emerging markets \u2014 and Egypt\u2019s reform story could make it a standout. \u201cInvestors have also learned to live with geopolitical uncertainty,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s become the norm.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Fayek was quick to note that we\u2019re way below where we should be in terms of market cap as a percentage of GDP. <\/strong> \u201cEgypt\u2019s market cap is about 10% of GDP,\u201d he said. \u201cTurkey is 40\u201350%, Morocco 50%, India 130%, and the US over 150%.\u201d Closing that gap, he said, means pushing harder on privatization and reform. \u201cWith so much of GDP still in the public sector, prioritizing privatization is essential. It deepens markets and gives the private sector real room to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, as sentiment improves, execution is key:<\/strong> Helal\u2019s recipe for a successful comeback is bringing \u201cthe right companies, in the right sectors, at the right price\u201d to market. He pointed to e-Finance\u2019s USD 370 mn IPO in 2021 as a model \u2014 a well-priced transaction in a growth sector that pulled in strong foreign demand. But he noted that market depth remains thin: foreign investors account for less than 10% of turnover, while retail investors make up roughly 70\u201375%. To lure institutions back, he said, Egypt needs IPOs in the USD 150\u2013200 mn range \u2014 and for the next few offerings, \u201cit\u2019s worth leaving some money on the table\u201d to rebuild trust and momentum.<\/p>\n

Gad sees untapped potential in debt.<\/strong> \u201cWe need a proper secondary market for fixed income,\u201d he said, noting that Egypt\u2019s corporate bond and sukuk markets are expanding thanks to regulatory reform and a growing appetite for securitization. What\u2019s missing, he added, is a trading mindset:<\/strong> most issuances are held to maturity \u2014 usually by banks \u2014 which kills liquidity. Private credit is also still in its infancy, limited by the lack of EGP-hedged instruments and the dominance of USD-based funds. \u201cAt least the foundation is there,\u201d he said. \u201cNow it\u2019s about building the ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

The real test: scale and follow-through.<\/strong> Helal said the true measure of recovery will be consistent execution \u2014 bringing credible, sizable transactions to market with clear growth stories and disciplined pricing. Fayek said a \u201cmarket-moving privatization\u201d could be the catalyst that signals real momentum, while Gad expects to see a USD 100\u2013200 mn international-style IPO with meaningful foreign participation. Together, they agreed that maintaining a steady pipeline of quality offerings is what will determine whether the rebound lasts.<\/p>\n
