A new independent government authority to manage logistics zones? <\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE- A proposed Logistics Zones Authority would manage, launch <\/strong>and award projects for <\/strong>logistics zones in the country<\/strong>, independent from the General Authority for Land and Dry Ports, a source from the transport sector told EnterpriseAM. The potential move \u2014 which is not final and is still being discussed inside the Transport Ministry \u2014 comes as the government has some 30 logistics zones to offer up to local and foreign investors, our source said. <\/p>\n

The creation of the new authority would help streamline investments into logistics zones<\/strong>, as the authority would allocate land directly to investors and have the ability to draft flexible contracts suited to the nature of each zone, whether agricultural, industrial, or commercial, the source told us. <\/p>\n

The Continental Hotel is getting Taj branding<\/p>\n

Indian luxury hotel brand Taj Hotels will refurbish and manage the historic Continental <\/strong>Hotel in downtown Cairo<\/strong>, according to a cabinet statement<\/a>. The project \u2014 which will see the Tata Group company cooperate with state-owned Egyptian General Company for Tourism and Hotels (EGOTH), was already kicked off in 2Q 2025. <\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>We first heard in 2023<\/a> that the government is planning a tender for a private partner to refurbish the Continental Hotel \u2014 a project that has been stalled ever since. The project comes as part of the government\u2019s push to repurpose historic buildings<\/a> in Downtown Cairo into commercial spaces and hotels. <\/p>\n

October saw USD 3.7 bn in inflows, a 26.2% y-o-y jump. Inflows have also steadily ticked up month-on-month, coming in at USD 3.5 bn in August and USD 3.6 bn in September. <\/p>\n
