While over at the Finance Ministry, attention is turning to making full use of the sources of non-tax revenues that aren\u2019t contributing as much to the public purse as you might think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And in private sector news, Saudi Arabia seems to be the destination of choice<\/strong>, with both Hassan Allam\u2019s Grova Developments and Media Republic becoming just the latest example of local players continuing to expand in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BUT FIRST- <\/strong><strong>We\u2019re hiring a technology reporter:<\/strong> EnterpriseAM is looking for a tech reporter to own the beat across Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This is a reporting job \u2014 not a desk job. <\/strong>You\u2019ll be working sources, breaking stories, and writing about trendlines (not just headlines) in our voice and with the authority our readers expect. AI and digital infrastructure are huge features of the beat, but our interests are broad: fintech, telecoms, regulation, SaaS, and the bajillion ways tech is reshaping how businesses operate across the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We want someone who can pick up the phone or WhatsApp<\/strong>, get people talking, and turn what they say into stories that senior decision-makers need to read. We also expect you to attend industry events and maintain relationships with PR folks across the industry without selling out. If you\u2019ve got 2-3 years of experience and the hunger to build a beat from the ground up, we want to hear from you. We\u2019re also interested in hearing from veteran reporters.

The EGX is launching its new Government Fixed-Income Trading system \u2014 with the catchy acronym G-FIT \u2014 allowing individuals to directly trade sovereign debt through licensed brokerage firms as easily as they trade stocks. Retail traders were traditionally allowed to do that only through established funds. So far, five brokerages have secured the necessary licenses to offer the service to clients. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The launch coincides with the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s decision on Thursday <\/strong><strong>to cut its required reserve ratio from 18% to 16%<\/strong>, which Al Ahly Pharos\u2019 Hany Genena said was \u201cextremely interlinked.\u201d This follows IMF-mandated quantitative targets (ceilings) on government lending, which meant that the CBE\u2019s incremental funding to the state has nearly stopped \u2014 dropping roughly 95% in 2025, Genena said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why this matters: <\/strong>By cutting the reserve requirement, the CBE is releasing liquidity back into the banking system, specifically so banks can absorb the government debt the CBE can no longer fund. Opening G-FIT is the second step, aimed at tapping into \u201cexcess funds in pockets\u201d and rotating it out of bank CDs and into the formal debt market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The release of \u201cbns of EGP\u201d back into the banking system will also help compensate for <\/strong><strong>falling bank profits from Thursday\u2019s cut in the overnight lending rate<\/strong>, former Industrial Development Bank Chairman Maged Fahmy told EnterpriseAM, with short-term deposits in particular facing stuff competition from short-term T-bills in light of less severe penalties for selling before maturity. However, Fahmy added that overall, this will only result in a \u201climited\u201d withdrawal of bank deposits, but banks may be driven to offer more competitive rates to keep customers from switching to T-bills with higher yields.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cThe more you have live trading on bills and bonds, the more you have accurate pricing <\/strong><strong>signals<\/strong>,\u201d Genena told us. \u201cIf people are pessimistic about inflation, you\u2019ll find the yields required are very high; if they are happy, the yields are very low.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What's next? <\/strong>As high-yield certificates of deposit mature, Genena expects a significant portion of that liquidity to bypass traditional bank products and flow into exchange-traded instruments. Despite the ease of buying T-bills, Genena maintains that we are in an equity bull market. With the EGX30 recently hitting historical acceleration phases, he expects returns on stocks to likely outperform fixed income over the next 12\u201324 months.<\/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=\"wwtt3\"><\/a> <strong>SOCIAL SECURITY \u2014 The <\/strong><strong>gov\u2019t is looking<\/strong><strong> to welcome Ramadan with a new <\/strong><strong>social protection package for 5 mn families registered with the Takaful and Karama program<\/strong>, a senior government official told EnterpriseAM.
