Five heavyweight investment banks \u2014 Beltone, EFG Hermes, Al Ahly Pharos, CI Capital, and Cairo Capital \u2014 are working with the Sovereign Fund of Egypt to launch a suite of industrial investment funds. These will span debt, equity, and transferable securities, effectively creating a new capital pipeline for manufacturers outside the traditional banking system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Egyptian industry has relied for years on subsidized interest rate initiatives from the central bank \u2014 most of which have been rolled back under pressure from the International Monetary Fund. By bringing the Sovereign Fund of Egypt in as a strategic partner, the government is providing a de-risking mechanism intended to crowd in private capital. If successful, this would move industrial growth from a fiscal burden to a capital market play. It also signals that the government is finally listening to the private sector\u2019s plea for liquidity that doesn\u2019t carry 30%+ interest rates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s next? <\/strong>The Financial Regulatory Authority is expected to fast-track regulatory approvals for these specific funds. We will also watch for the onboarding phase with export councils and chambers of commerce. Meanwhile, investment banks are expected to announce the initial capital targets for these funds in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><a id=\"wwtt2\"><\/a> <strong>M&A \u2014 B Investments is looking to acquire a 51% stake in specialty <\/strong><strong>coffee roaster and cafe chain Brown Nose <\/strong>through its EGX-listed subsidiary OB Financial Holding (previously OFH), a company representative tells EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The private equity firm tapped Matouk Bassiouny & Hennawy as counsel for the potential <\/strong><strong>acquisition<\/strong>, and the file is currently under review by the Egyptian Competition Authority, we were told.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>B Investments is gunning for its majority stake \u201ceither from day one, or doing <\/strong><strong>a two-step transaction <\/strong>where we acquire a stake now and an additional stake later to allow us to reach majority,\u201d they said.
