\ud83d\udc4b <\/strong>Good <\/strong>morning, friends, and happy long weekend. <\/strong>We\u2019ve got a full issue for you today \u2014 starting with The Enterprise Guide\u2019s case for protecting your brain in the age of AI, which is either reassuring or alarming depending on how much you\u2019ve used it this week. We also have Steven Spielberg back in sci-fi territory, a horror film that turned USD 750k into a USD 175 mn phenomenon, a new Greek spot in New Cairo, and a podcast for anyone who takes their music seriously. <\/p>\n

But first, your weekly recap\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ud83d\uddde\ufe0f LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-<\/p>\n

ECONOMY-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The USD fell below the psychological EGP 50 mark <\/strong>across several local banks on Wednesday for the first time since March<\/strong>, extending the EGP\u2019s recovery<\/a> as regional geopolitical friction eases and foreign currency liquidity strengthens. The greenback traded at EGP 49.96 (buy) and EGP 50.07 (sell) at state-owned NBE and Banque Misr, while the rate reached EGP 49.90 (buy) and EGP 50 (sell) at CIB. The appreciation was driven primarily by the exceptionally strong inflows recorded in the secondary market on Tuesday, with foreign portfolio investments rising by USD 1.1 bn \u2014 the largest single-day inflow since March.<\/p>\n

AND- China <\/strong>extended its local-currency swap line with Egypt<\/a><\/strong> for three more years and lifted the ceiling 67% to CNY 30 bn<\/strong> (c. USD 4.43 bn)<\/strong> from CNY 18 bn. The expansion is coinciding with deepening commercial ties. As of November 2025, 2.8k Chinese companies have been active in Egypt, with over USD 8 bn invested.<\/p>\n

ALSO- The government is <\/strong>fast-tracking corporate formation<\/a><\/strong> by introducing a temporary eight-month tax card. <\/strong>The draft legislation allows new companies to speed up their establishment and licensing procedures.<\/p>\n

ENERGY-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Egypt agreed with QatarEnergy and ExxonMobil to <\/strong>receive and re-export gas<\/a><\/strong> from Cyprus\u2019s Pegasus and Glaucus fields through Egyptian pipeline networks.<\/strong> The framework would see Egypt collect transit and processing fees. The two fields are targeting production of 1 bcf\/d by 2030, with recoverable reserves estimated at 7 tcf.<\/p>\n

AND- The military\u2019s National Service Projects Organization is handing Taqa Arabia a <\/strong>10% stake in 172 stations<\/a><\/strong> from Wataneya\u2019s fuel network. <\/strong>The transaction parks the assets inside a new IPO-bound vehicle called Quick Fuel for Petroleum Products Trading and Distribution, which Taqa will now manage and operate.<\/p>\n

ALSO- The EU is putting up <\/strong>EUR 690 mn<\/a><\/strong> to upgrade our electricity transmission network<\/strong> and integrate 22 GW of new renewable capacity into the grid by 2030. The agreement is the first concrete project under T-Med.<\/p>\n

AUTOMOTIVE-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chinese luxury EV maker Rox Global is <\/strong>expanding in the local market<\/a><\/strong> through a joint venture<\/strong> with Ezz El Arab Elsewedy Investments<\/strong> named Rox ESI Egypt. The new company will produce what its backers say is the first luxury electric vehicle manufactured in the country.<\/p>\n

AND- Egypt\u2019s <\/strong>automotive market cooled in April<\/a><\/strong>, falling to 15.3k units from 17.8k in March<\/strong> as it digested two months of pulled-forward demand. Buyers had front-loaded purchases through February and March to beat price hikes and Red Sea shipping disruptions, leaving April to absorb the correction.<\/p>\n

PRIVATIZATION WATCH-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of the government\u2019s longest-running privatization plays may finally be <\/strong>seeing daylight<\/a><\/strong>. <\/strong>Offers are in for military-owned bottled water maker Safi, and an IPO timeline has been set for the military\u2019s new retail field vehicle Quick Fuel.<\/p>\n

M&A-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Transport Ministry is <\/strong>set to reject AD Ports\u2019 mandatory tender offer<\/a><\/strong> to acquire up to 90% of Alexandria Container and Cargo Handling<\/strong>, a senior government official recently told us. The Emirati port operator offered EGP 27.47 per share last week to consolidate its control over the local maritime company.<\/p>\n

DEBT WATCH-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fintech platform Valu <\/strong>secured a EGP 600 mn loan<\/a><\/strong> from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development <\/strong>to finance household purchases of energy-efficient and renewable technologies. The facility aims to drive retail adoption of solar power and electric mobility.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf0d AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS- <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s news cycle was dominated by two stories: <\/strong>the US-Iran peace agreement and SpaceX\u2019s blockbuster public debut. Here\u2019s the rundown: <\/p>\n

The US and Iran reached <\/strong>an agreement<\/a><\/strong> on Sunday to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>, with a signing ceremony set for Friday in Switzerland. The text of the MoU remains unpublished, though several news outlets<\/a> have obtained the<\/a>details<\/a><\/a>.The agreement dominated G7 talks in France, where President Donald Trump warned<\/a> that \u201chell will rain down\u201d if Iran tries to develop a nuclear weapon. The UK, France, Germany, and Italy agreed<\/a> in a joint statement that \u201cIran \u200cmust \u2060never acquire a nuclear weapon.\u201d <\/p>\n

Uncertainty remained over the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>, with shipowners and oil traders expected to take weeks to confidently resume transit unless the agreement proves material. Oil prices hit a more-than-three-month low<\/a>.<\/p>\n

IN THE BUSINESS PRESS-<\/strong> SpaceX made its Nasdaq debut on 12 June, raising USD 75 bn in the largest IPO in history<\/a> and closing its first trading day up 19%. The listing made Elon Musk the world\u2019s first t\u2019naire. By Tuesday\u2019s close, SpaceX had pushed its market value to USD 2.66 tn, leapfrogging Amazon to become the world\u2019s fifth-most valuable company, and also announced it will acquire<\/a> Anysphere \u2014 the company behind AI coding agent Cursor \u2014 for USD 60 bn. <\/p>\n

MEANWHILE- <\/strong>The UK carried out the first-ever operation of its kind<\/a> against Russia\u2019s \u201cshadow fleet,\u201d with British forces intercepting and boarding an oil tanker in the English Channel on Sunday. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed that Royal Marines and officers from the National Crime Agency took control of the vessel Smyrtos, which was sailing under the Cameroonian flag, during a six-hour operation. <\/p>\n

ALSO-<\/strong> Starmer announced plans to ban social media access<\/a> for under-16s and introduce tighter rules for gaming and livestreaming platforms. Starmer outlined a crackdown targeting social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, alongside gaming services that allow children to interact with strangers online.<\/p>\n
