Good morning, <\/strong>friends, and happy Monday to you all. <\/strong>Just like yesterday, we have a busy issue for you this morning, so let's dive right in.<\/p>\n

A deeper dive into Gourmet\u2019s IPO: <\/strong>Now that we\u2019ve had time to digest Gourmet\u2019s intention to float, we dive into what we believe will define 2026\u2019s first IPO on the bourse \u2014 valuation and timeline.<\/p>\n

Hub status loading: <\/strong>The Oil Ministry is preparing for its latest steps to position Egypt as a regional energy hub \u2014 launching fresh exploration tenders and drafting a schedule to clear all overdue payments to foreign energy players. Meanwhile, the government is looking into a plan to set up a gold refinery in hopes that it will help position us as a regional gold hub.<\/p>\n

AND- Mr. Olympia Big Ramy is making headlines <\/strong>after Alta Semper acquired a majority stake in his co-founded dietary supplement producer Nature\u2019s Rule in a bid to take it regional.<\/p>\n

PSA \u2014 We are bringing back our annual readers\u2019 poll to get the inside scoop <\/strong>on the business<\/strong> community\u2019s outlook for 2026. <\/strong>For us at EnterpriseAM, there\u2019s no greater asset than our informed readers, so we want to hear from you. Want to contribute? <\/strong>Click here<\/a><\/strong> to fill out our short anonymous survey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Already taken our poll? We have one more polite request. <\/strong>A technical glitch yesterday meant that responses to the poll were not recorded. The problem is now fixed, and we\u2019d really appreciate it if you quickly take the 1-minute poll again. We apologize for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n

<\/a> ALSO- <\/strong>Publi<\/strong>c and private sector workers are in for a three-day weekend, <\/strong>but a <\/strong>week later than expected<\/strong>, after Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly declared Thursday, 29 January \u2014 instead of Sunday, 25 January \u2014 a paid holiday in observance of the 25 January Revolution and Police Day, according to a cabinet statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WEATHER- <\/strong>It\u2019s a cloudy day in Cairo, with a high of 19\u00b0C and a low of 10\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app.<\/p>\n

Watch this space<\/p>\n

TAX \u2014The Madbouly government is considering raising the total income tax <\/strong>exemption threshold for individuals to EGP 80k per year <\/strong>next fiscal year, a senior government official tells EnterpriseAM. The proposed plan includes increasing the base zero-rate bracket from EGP 45k to EGP 60k, alongside a bump in the personal exemption from EGP 15k to EGP 20k. Deputy Finance Minister Sherif El Kilany told us that the move is under study back in December<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong>This move, which comes as part of a new social protection package, is designed to shield low and middle-income earners from the impact of inflation and structural reforms. The wider package will include wage hikes and sector-specific incentives, according to another source familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

The timeline: <\/strong>The legislative amendments for raising the threshold will head to the House by March, coinciding with the submission of the budget draft for the new fiscal year.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> MINING \u2014 Egypt is moving to formalize its position as a regional gold hub with a <\/strong>new national refinery.<\/strong> Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly chaired the inaugural meeting of the Higher Committee for Gold yesterday to review plans for a facility specialized in refining raw gold to international standards, according to a statement<\/a>. The committee, established by presidential decree earlier this month, aims to shift Egypt from a raw mineral exporter to an industrial center capable of serving both domestic and export markets.<\/p>\n

The government is currently scouting three potential sites for the project<\/strong>, which is slated to operate as a PPP. The move is designed to curb illegal trading and secure international accreditation for Egyptian gold. The committee \u2014 which includes the CBE governor and investment, planning, and oil ministers \u2014 is drafting new legislation to govern and regulate the sector.<\/p>\n

The project is the physical counterpart to the Pan-African Gold Bank.<\/strong> It builds on the MoU between the CBE and Afreximbank inked last month<\/a> to establish a gold banking ecosystem and an accredited refinery within an Egyptian freezone.<\/p>\n

The bottom line \u2014 this is a monetary sovereignty play.<\/strong> Accredited local refining allows the CBE to build a documented and liquid gold reserve. The move could also improve the country\u2019s credit profile and reduce borrowing costs by providing a tangible, world-class guarantee.<\/p>\n

Happening today<\/p>\n

<\/a> The <\/strong>World Economic Forum Annual Meeting<\/a><\/strong> in Davos kicks off today <\/strong>under <\/strong>the theme A Spirit of Dialogue<\/strong>, reflecting a more cautious global mood. There\u2019s not much planned for day one \u2014 as is usually the case \u2014 but we will be keeping a close eye on the five-day forum. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi is scheduled to deliver a special address, alongside appearances from Investment Minister Hassan El Khatib, Planning and International Cooperation Minister Rania Al Mashat, Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk, CIB CEO Hisham Ezz Al Arab, and MNT-Halan founder and CEO Mounir Nakhla.<\/p>\n

WHAT WE\u2019RE WATCHING FOR \u2014 El Sisi and Trump to hold a joint summit? <\/strong>El Sisi and US President Donald Trump will meet on Wednesday on the sidelines of the forum for an Egyptian-American Summit, Ala Masouleety\u2019s Ahmed Moussa said last night (watch, runtime: 46:51<\/a>). If the summit does happen, we expect the GERD dispute to be high on the agenda after Trump said<\/a> the US is ready to restart mediation between \u2060Egypt \u200dand Ethiopia over the matter. We also expect the two to discuss the push for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and rising geopolitical tension.<\/p>\n

The big story abroad<\/p>\n

A showdown between the US and the EU is set to take over Davos<\/strong>, as the EU readies a package of retaliatory tariffs \u2014 potentially EUR 93 bn\u2019s worth \u2014 or restrict some US firms from the bloc\u2019s market in response to US President Donald Trump\u2019s 10% tariff threat to European countries over their opposition to his campaign to take over Greenland. Plans are being drawn up now to give EU countries leverage during talks that are set to take place at Davos this week, the Financial Times<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

In other Trump-causing-anxiety-for-geopolitical-leaders news\u2026 the US has started inviting heads of states to join the US\u2019 new \u201cBoard of Peace\u201d <\/strong>which is being touted as an \u201cinternational organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.\u201d The board \u2014 which would initially focus on rebuilding Gaza and then address other global conflicts \u2014 would become official once three member states agree to the draft charter for the proposed group.<\/p>\n

Trump has already invited several European nations to join the board<\/strong>, along with Egypt and Turkey, while Argentina\u2019s Javier Milei and Canada\u2019s Mark Carney were also invited to be part of a Board of Peace for Gaza. Diplomats have raised concerns<\/a> that this would be a \u201cTrump United Nations\u201d given Trump\u2019s criticisms of the UN in the past.<\/p>\n

The so-called board would also allow countries who pay a USD 1 bn fee a permanent spot on the board<\/strong> \u2014 otherwise, countries would join on a three-year term basis, Bloomberg<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

MEANWHILE-<\/strong> Senegal clinched its second Afcon title<\/strong> after a dramatic game that saw it beat Morocco 1-0, even after players had walked off in protest of a controversial penalty that was awarded to Morocco in stoppage time. The penalty ended up being an easy save as Morocco\u2019s star player Brahim Diaz attempted a Panenka-style chip, giving Senegal\u2019s Papa Gueye a chance to score in extra time.<\/p>\n

PLUS- The Syrian government and Kurdish-dominated militia the Syrian Democratic Forces have reached a ceasefire agreement<\/strong> after Syrian troops seized towns controlled by the SDF this week as Syrian President Ahmad al Sharaa works to extend his rule in the north. (Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n
