Good morning, folks. <\/strong>In today\u2019s packed issue, there\u2019s little sign that the business community is starting to slow down in the run-up to Ramadan. <\/p>\n

Leading the issue today is news that state is cooking up a list of 20 state-owned <\/strong>companies to offer up stakes for on the EGX. <\/strong>But the state isn\u2019t only selling, it's spending too, with a EGP 40.3 bn social support package in the works to accompany Ramadan.<\/p>\n

Also catching our attention is the race to launch the country\u2019s first digital bank<\/strong>, the IMF pencilling the final greenlight for fifth and sixth reviews later this month, EgyptAir\u2019s efforts to expand its fleet, and much, much more.<\/p>\n

<\/a> SOVEREIGN DEBT \u2014 T<\/strong>he International M<\/strong>onetary Fund\u2019s Executive Board has <\/strong>penciled in 25 February to hopefully greenlight our fifth and sixth reviews<\/strong>, according to the board\u2019s calendar<\/a>. Provided the board gives the final sign-off, the Fund will release USD 2.3 bn to Egypt \u2014 split between USD 2 bn from the extended fund facility and another USD 300 mn from the resilience and sustainability fund (RSF) \u2014 Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said earlier this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong>While we here at EnterpriseAM, and others, often focus on the USD 2 bn tranche from the combined reviews, the smaller RSF is also worth taking note of. The USD 300 mn tranche shows that the Fund is no longer interested in just emergency stabilization and is instead looking towards long-term structural resilience that doesn\u2019t only address purely economic concerns.<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>seventh review<\/a><\/strong> will likely be pushed back to late April or May after the IMF and World <\/strong>Bank\u2019s annual spring meet-up<\/strong>, a source familiar with Egypt\u2019s negotiations with the Fund tells EnterpriseAM. The review was originally scheduled for mid-March, but delays in completing the fifth and sixth reviews have created a knock-on effect for the remainder of the program\u2019s schedule, the source tells us. <\/p>\n

The acceleration of the state privatization program and further budget consolidation will<\/strong> be the main requirements moving ahead<\/strong>, with the purpose of ensuring the sustainability of reforms, increasing private sector participation, boosting investment, and improving macroeconomic indicators like the deficit we were told.<\/p>\n

The eighth review currently scheduled for October \u2014 which together with seventh review would unlock USD 2.5 bn \u2014 could also be pushed back to the end<\/strong> of the year<\/strong>, according to the source. But if macro conditions continue to improve, the final review could still happen on time in October, our source told us. <\/p>\n

<\/a> REGULATION \u2014 NBFIs will need to start offsetting their emissions soon. <\/strong>Non-banking financial institutions with issued capital exceeding EGP 100 mn have to disclose their carbon emissions annually starting no later than June 2026, according to a decision<\/a> from the Financial Regulatory Authority. The firms will be obligated to offset 20% of emissions declared in their annual report within 90 days of reporting. Compliance is now a mandatory licensing condition.<\/p>\n

<\/a> INVESTMENT \u2014 Chinese textile companies have turned their attention to Egypt: <\/strong>The Hong Kong Garment and Textiles Business Mission was in town, hosted by HSBC Egypt and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, according to a press release (pdf)<\/a>. The mission\u2019s time in Egypt focused on garment and textile investment prospects and Egypt\u2019s position as a hub for exports and skilled labor.<\/p>\n

\"Egypt is emerging as an important hub for global trade. <\/strong>It offers investors a strategic export base with multiple trade agreements, and access to key markets in the Middle East, Europe, the US and beyond. Egypt's garment and textiles sector offers strong potential for international investors supported by skilled and cost-effective workforce which could contribute significantly to job creations,\" HSBC Egypt\u2019s Deputy Chairman and CEO Todd Wilcox said.<\/p>\n

Egypt\u2019s apparel exports in 2025 exceeded USD 3 bn<\/strong>, coinciding with strong interest from Chinese and Turkish investors.<\/p>\n

Data point<\/p>\n

4.15 <\/strong>bcf\/d\u2014 that\u2019s the average amount of gas produced in 4Q 2025<\/strong>, down 1.2% from the quarter before and marking a nine-year low, according to Oil Ministry data cited by industry publication Mees<\/a>. The drop in production follows a brief moment of optimism after output increased in the third quarter of the year for the first time in three years.<\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> Digging into the data reveals a widening rift between offshore fields and the growth of smaller, onshore plays. While the Mediterranean struggled, the Western Desert reached a multi-year high of 835 mn cfd and the Nile Delta showed modest gains, both buoyed by the government\u2019s shift toward offering higher gas prices and improved terms to firms like Apache and Dana Gas.<\/p>\n

Need to run to the bank this Ramadan? Make sure you get there early<\/strong> as banks will be open to the public from 9:30am-1:30pm, according to a CBE statement seen by EnterpriseAM. Staff working hours will also be running on a reduced 9-2pm schedule during the holy month.<\/p>\n

WEATHER- The summery weather continues in Cairo today<\/strong>, with a high of 30\u00b0C and a low of 18\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s a different story in Alexandria<\/strong>, with a much cooler high of 21\u00b0C and a low of 15\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Correction:<\/strong> In yesterday\u2019s edition of EnterpriseAM, we mistakenly referred to the Semiramis Intercontinental as part of the group of government hotels being moved to the Sovereign Fund of Egypt and that it had recently secured an Indian partner. The Semiramis Intercontinental is a privately owned hotel that is unrelated to the story. This story<\/a> has been corrected on our website to refer instead to the Continental Hotel in Downtown Cairo.<\/p>\n

The big story abroad<\/p>\n

The Netflix-Paramount-Warner Bros dance is back in the news<\/strong> after Bloomberg<\/a> broke the news that Warner Bros Discovery is mulling a renewed hostile bid from Paramount Skydance which could potentially nix a prior agreement with Netflix. Paramount has vowed to pay the termination fee \u2014 at USD 2.8 bn \u2014 owed to Netflix if the streaming giant\u2019s bid is turned down, as well as backstop Warner Bros\u2019 debt refinancing. Netflix\u2019s bid of USD 27.75 per share for Warner Bros\u2019 namesake studio and HBO Max streaming business was accepted late last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ALSO WORTH NOTING THIS MORNING- <\/strong>The automotive industry is reeling from a USD 65 bn<\/a>hit<\/a> following a sweeping reversal of US climate policy. The downturn has disproportionately affected the companies that wagered the most on EVs, with global automotive player Stellantis being hit the hardest after suffering a USD 26 bn write down.<\/p>\n

AND- <\/strong>The CHF has appreciated recently \u2014 driven by geopolitical turmoil and the greenback\u2019s recent dip \u2014 against the EUR and USD and is undermining<\/a> the competitiveness of Swiss exporters. The haven currency has already recorded a 3% rise in 2026 and has especially pressured small and medium-sized companies, trade associations have said. Switzerland\u2019s exported goods and services make up more than 70% of its GDP.<\/p>\n
