Investment banks including EFG Hermes, CI Capital, and Al Ahly Pharos are vying to manage Egypt's IPO pipeline, aiming to list 30 companies by June. The State-Owned Enterprises Unit is soliciting proposals as the government seeks to maintain IMF compliance.
Temporary listings have included El Nasr Housing and Sinai Manganese, contributing to a stalled Phase 4 execution at 7.5% completion. Additionally, the Central Bank of Egypt sold USD 934 million in T-bills at a 4.0% yield, refinancing a previous tranche.
The government is also advancing a USD 600 million integrated petroleum logistics zone in Alexandria. Furthermore, discussions for a logistics corridor with Russia could enhance Egypt’s position as a regional logistics hub, supporting Russian exports to Africa and the Middle East.
