Saudi Arabia wants to shore up its dry powder as it girds for an escalating competition <\/strong>with the UAE. <\/strong>Aramco is lining up the biggest privatization drive in its history, with asset sales that could raise as much as USD 35 bn<\/a>, Bloomberg reports. The pipeline runs from a sale-and-leaseback of real estate that could include its Dhahran headquarters<\/a> to stake sales in oil export and storage terminals and deals for gas-fired power and water infrastructure. If the plan goes through, it would keep full ownership of its upstream production assets while selling minority stakes in just about anything midstream on down. The catalyst was the BlackRock-led USD 11 bn Jafurah lease<\/a> last August, which drew enough fund appetite to convince Aramco there\u2019s a market for the rest.<\/p>\n

Our take: <\/strong>A year ago we\u2019d have read this as Aramco trimming non-core assets. Now it looks like the Kingdom is looking to max-out liquidity while the war continues and FDI is still well short<\/a> of the USD 100 bn-a-year target. <\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> Emirates NBD has cleared the <\/strong>last regulatory hurdle<\/a><\/strong> on its roughly USD 3 bn acquisition <\/strong>of India\u2019s RBL Bank<\/strong>, securing final sign-off from the Indian government. That will make it the first foreign lender to take majority control of a profitable listed Indian bank. The deal is structured as a preferential equity issue that leaves ENBD with 51-74%<\/a> of RBL\u2019s share capital (with voting rights capped at 26%).<\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> Western lenders are pulling back from India and MENA+ \u2014 and GCC banks including Emirates NBD and private-sector champion Mashreq are pushing in. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

BlueFive Capital has locked in a binding 42% of Tadawul-listed Gulf General Insurance <\/strong>(GGI)<\/strong> \u2014 a rescue wrapped in a restructuring. GGI will cut its capital to SAR 124 mn from SAR 300 mn to wipe out most of its accumulated losses, then issue new shares that hand the Abu Dhabi firm its stake (press release pdf<\/a>). It needed the lifeline: 2025 losses widened to SAR 120.5 mn, raising going-concern doubt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watch for a rollup play to follow: <\/strong>BlueFive launched BlueFive Insurance<\/a> in November to roll up a fragmented GCC insurance market, and a distressed listed shell makes a useful vehicle for the buy-and-build to come. SNB Capital and A&O Shearman advised BlueFive; the deal still needs final regulatory and shareholder sign-off.<\/p>\n

BP is weighing a sale of <\/strong>select Egyptian natural gas assets<\/a><\/strong> as part of a global <\/strong>restructuring<\/strong> to trim debt, Reuters reports. The targets are East and West Nile Delta plays. BP has put more than USD 35 bn into Egypt over six decades and once supplied 60% of its gas, so even a partial divestment reshapes the country\u2019s LNG-export-hub ambitions \u2014 even as BP keeps chasing higher-yield plays, including new offshore concessions and a 50% stake in Temsah\u2019s Denise W 1 well<\/a>, which holds c. 2 tcf of gas.<\/p>\n

Saudi Contractor Mutlaq Al Ghowairi (MGC) is taking 30% to Tadawul<\/strong> in a pure secondary sale that will see founder Mutlaq Al Otaibi trims his stake to 32% from 52.5% and Terad Al Ghowairi to 15.7% from 22.5%. Both will be locked up for six months (press release pdf<\/a>, prospectus pdf<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong>MGC is one of several Saudi firms trying to beat the buzzer before their CMA approvals lapse in June. Ninja<\/a><\/strong> is lining up banks for a potential USD 1 bn IPO by late 2026 or early 2027, Dar Al Balad<\/a><\/strong> is targeting USD 55 mn, and Arabian Dyar<\/strong> is eyeing<\/a> a listing. Saudi issuers are crowding the window while UAE and Egyptian companies play it more cautiously<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What to watch: <\/strong>MGC is the test of whether Tadawul still has the appetite for thin-margin contractor plays amid the Kingdom\u2019s project reshuffling.<\/p>\n

<\/a> Cairo-headquartered Korra Energi opened books on the EGX\u2019s <\/strong>second private-sector IPO<\/a><\/strong>of the year<\/a><\/strong>, looking to raise up to EGP 735 mn for 11% of the company. The institutional tranche (60%) closes 24 May and retail the next day. It\u2019s only the second private-sector float since Gourmet in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EGX bellwether Commercial International Bank (CIB) will launch its digital-banking <\/strong>subsidiary, Yomo<\/strong>, in 4Q 2026, CEO Hisham Ezz Al Arab told the Arabic press (watch, 28:48<\/a>). Egypt\u2019s largest private-sector lender already has regulatory approval to set up the digital bank\u2019s holding company in Abu Dhabi \u2014 a regulatory and tax-optimization play \u2014 and is in the final stretch of getting the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s nod for the Cairo operating company.<\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT-<\/strong> Yomo joins a wave of digital-native banks arriving just as rates start to fall. State-owned Banque Misr is finally standing up long-planned its digital arm, Onebank<\/a>, targeting EGP 40 bn in deposits in year one. CIB is putting EGP 300 mn into Yomo over three years, and Ezz Al Arab told us<\/a> last month it\u2019s a market-expansion play, not just a defensive move against the fintechs. <\/p>\n

Sab Invest has become Saudi Arabia\u2019s first ETF market maker under the Saudi <\/strong>Exchange\u2019s new <\/strong>framework (pdf)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong>Tadawul\u2019s still-embryonic ETF segment won\u2019t ever become liquid enough to matter without market makers. <\/p>\n

\n

ALSO WORTH KNOWING THIS MORNING-<\/p>\n

Mubadala Energy<\/strong> has joined a USD 9.75 bn financing package behind the USD 13 bn<\/a>Commonwealth LNG project<\/a> in Louisiana, a move some pundits think suggests the UAE\u2019s post-Opec hedge runs through American gas. <\/p>\n

IHC\u2019s Alpha Wave Global<\/strong> is weighing a USD 1.3 bn investment<\/a> in Adani Airport Holdings <\/strong>alongside Singapore sovereign fund Temasek<\/strong>, the airport unit\u2019s first external equity raise, at a USD 18-20 bn valuation. Alpha Wave is a unit of IHC\u2019s Judan Financial, chaired by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, a long-standing Adani backer. <\/p>\n

Stitch<\/strong>, a Saudi financial-infrastructure firm, raised USD 25 mn in a Series A led by Andreessen<\/a><\/strong>Horowitz<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 a16z\u2019s first investment in the GCC<\/a>. The 2022-founded firm builds cloud-native lending, cards, payments, and ledger software across the GCC, Africa and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

Raya Holding<\/strong> has finally closed the loop on a six-year exit from Ostool<\/strong>, with its board approving the sale of its 90% stake to a Qalaa\/Ascom Mining subsidiary for EGP 641 mn<\/a>. <\/p>\n
