<strong>T<\/strong><strong>he Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) is maintaining<\/strong><strong> its 5.6% real GDP growth forecast for 2026 <\/strong>\u2014 unchanged from 2025 \u2014 signaling confidence in the economy even as international institutions slash their outlooks due to regional conflict, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/4\/501.pdf\" style=\"\">the bank\u2019s latest report (pdf)<\/a>.<br \/><strong>The reasoning: <\/strong>The CBUAE\u2019s optimism is underpinned by a two-engine growth model, with hydrocarbon GDP expected to jump

footfall given the lack of tourists and the generally more cautious environment, or from the cost angle, with shipping, logistics, and ins. all seeing costs rise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin:

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AED 45 mn investment from Emirates Growth Fund<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 and dodge most of the potential repercussions of the disruptions, keeping shelves stocked and prices stable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Each week, My Morning Routine looks at how a successful member of the community starts their day<\/strong> \u2014 and then throws in a couple of random business questions just for fun. This week, we sat down with Fikry Boutros, (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/fikryboutros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>) a self-proclaimed meat enthusiast and co-founder and co-CEO of Carnistore, to discuss the behind-the-scenes of the investment, his morning routine, and how the business is navigating current ongoing headwinds. Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: First, tell me about CarniStore. When and why did you decide to start an online butchery business? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Fikry Boutros: <\/strong>I\u2019ve worked in engineering and construction for 18 years, but I always had a thing for F&amp;B. I\u2019ve always loved meat [in particular], and I couldn\u2019t find the cuts and the service that I wanted here. There was only one place where you could get premium meats back then. I was doing my MBA around 2013 and my thesis was to open a butchery shop in Dubai. I went to the UK and took a butchery course, and worked on my idea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">I met Dan \u2014 my co-founder and business partner \u2014 by chance at a common friend\u2019s kid\u2019s birthday party, and we were both working on similar concepts. We both had partners back then, but after some time, we both parted ways with our partners, and got to talking and decided to work together. It\u2019s really interesting now in hindsight, because if we had done it alone, it would\u2019ve been completely different. We each bring different angles to the business that truly make it what it is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We took a distressed asset, fixed it up, and decided to go fully online so it\u2019s cost-efficient, and we focused on how we create the brand and how to market it online. We were learning everything on the job. But it was going well \u2014 we were getting around 10-15 orders a day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">Then COVID happened. Everyone was stuck at home, so it just blew up overnight. We had to cap orders because we couldn\u2019t fulfill them fast enough and we couldn\u2019t get product. We were hustling to find enough butchers and started building our team. This all happened within a week, and we ended up growing 4x.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: So what\u2019s the scale of operations today? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>FB:<\/strong> We currently have one location in Alserkal Avenue. That\u2019s our central operation. We have offsite storage, but in Alserkal we have small storage for about one to two days of consumption. The team is now around 70 people, and we have a database of 65k customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We have a B2C and a B2B arm, where we work with a lot of hotels, restaurants, and cafes across Dubai. We supply, we curate blends for them, we come up with ideas, and we even support them with menu engineering. That arm accounts for around 30% of the business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: How have you guys navigated the supply chain disruptions and heightened costs over the past month since the war started? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>FB:<\/strong>We saw lots of panic buying the first 10 days, very similar to Covid-19 days. The difference is that we have the capacity this time. The good thing is that we get most of our supply via air freight, which was not hit as bad as sea freight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">Thankfully, we have a good relationship with our suppliers, and even other industry players; we all support each other. Some competitors were stuck with things for hotels, especially products that are chilled and cost a lot to keep in storage. Thankfully we were not as disrupted as others and we're still getting shipments by air and clearing them. Last week, we got three with no issues, specifically from Europe, and no hiked prices. From Australia, I think shipping costs are going up a little bit, maybe around 30%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We\u2019re trying as much as possible to absorb any rising costs and keep prices as they are, despite prices rising across things like fuel and raw materials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">Realistically, even when things go back to normal, we won\u2019t see pricing go back to normal for at least between three to six months, especially between shortage in supply in the energy sector and shipping, it\u2019s going to take time to normalize.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: It\u2019s a good time to have some fresh funding in your war chest. Tell us about the investment from Emirates Growth Fund.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>FB:<\/strong> This has been in the works for six months. We had an initial small pre-seed round earlier, and we had great partners who helped us move and scale up. They started introducing us to people when we started thinking of expanding and, so we started sending out our decks, but we weren\u2019t under pressure or in any sort of distress so we didn\u2019t have a deadline. We\u2019re thankfully EBITDA positive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We met Emirates Growth Fund, and there was really good chemistry. We ended up signing the Head of Terms agreement in December, and then it was mainly just due diligence and regulatory procedures. When the war started, we gave them a call just to make sure they know we understand if there\u2019s delays or if they need to hold off on the investment for now given the current environment, but they were very supportive and said, on the contrary, this is a homegrown business and we believe in the UAE economy \u2014 let\u2019s close.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We had a plan for the funding, of course. The plan remains the same, but some things might change if market dynamics change. We\u2019re very careful with how we spend \u2014 maybe because we came from humble beginnings \u2014 so we won\u2019t be pausing, but we\u2019re watching the market for opportunities that could help us have a quicker impact faster.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: Now, onto your morning routine. What\u2019s that like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">FB: I wake up early, I work out, and then I go to work, but I\u2019m not a very big morning person. But I do start my day early \u2014 I learned this the hard way when I was in construction, because you need to wake up at 5-6am.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">We have lunch together, every day \u2014 the whole team. We try to make the office somewhere fun, so not very corporate. Then I go back home, have dinner with the family, and then watch some Netflix and sleep, unless I\u2019m out having dinner. In F&amp;B, we do a lot of collaborations and we\u2019re very close as a community. Even if we don\u2019t work together, we connect over our love for food.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>E: What\u2019s a piece of advice you\u2019ve received at some point in your career that has stuck with you? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">FB: It's a lesson I learned from my mentor, who passed away a few years back, and who really had a strong influence in my life. I learned from him that you can\u2019t give up or stop trying unless you exhaust every single possibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">The other thing I\u2019ve learned over time is that people and relationships should always come first. All the rest follows. I think partnerships are what really establish solid organic growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Fikry\u2019s recommendations<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Favorite restaurants: <\/strong>It\u2019s very difficult to pick, because there\u2019s so many good ones. But I love Manao. Rascal\u2019s and Dime are also close to my heart, as are Apollo, Moonrise, and Jun\u2019s. Middle Child, as well, here in Alserkal. There\u2019s many on my list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>What he\u2019s reading: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Leaders-Eat-Last-Together-Others\/dp\/1591845327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leaders Eat Last<\/a> is one of my favorites. I also really like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.eg\/-\/en\/Unreasonable-Hospitality-Remarkable-Giving-People\/dp\/0593418573\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unreasonable Hospitality<\/a>. I reference it a lot. I also love The Diary of a CEO, both the book and the podcast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>What he\u2019s watching: <\/strong>I love Somebody Feed Phil; I wait for these seasons to come out, and Chef\u2019s Table as well. There's also a very nice one which is local by Arva Ahmad and OSN. It's called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ditchthesilver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ditch the Silver<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID}
