European stock indices closed flat on Thursday, extending the muted momentum from the two prior sessions as concerns of energy-driven inflation weighed against positive corporate news. The Euro STOXX 50 closed flat at 6,268 and the STOXX Europe 600 closed flat at 643. Luxury brands gained on further support from the strong Richemont earnings yesterday, with LVMH and Hermes adding 1.5%. Also, Publicis rose 3% after raising its full-year guidance. On the other hand, higher gas prices pressured utilities and magnified uncertainty for the power-hungry AI infrastructure producers and operators. Enel, Schneider, and Siemens Electric dropped between 2.5% and 1.5%. For energy producers, TotalEnergies fell 1.5% after its earnings preview indicated that Q2 profits are expected to benefit from higher oil prices, although LNG earnings are projected to decline sharply.

London's FTSE 100 erased early losses to close about 0.5% up at 10,572 on Thursday, as investors assessed a slew of corporate releases and domestic data while monitoring ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Strong gains in industrials offset weakness in miners and tech stocks. Rotork soared more than 60% after agreeing to a £4.1 billion takeover by Swiss engineering group ABB, lifting sentiment across the industrial engineering sector and sending shares of Weir Group, IMI, Spirax Group, Smiths Group, and DCC higher. Diploma surged over 6% after raising its margin outlook and forecasting stronger-than-expected organic revenue growth. By contrast, Ocado tumbled more than 10% after underwhelming full-year results, while Experian (-1%) and Trustpilot (-10.7%) also fell following trading updates. Frasers Group declined 1.9% after reporting a 4% drop in annual adjusted pre-tax profit and withholding full-year guidance, citing takeover bids and a challenging consumer environment.

The Chamber of Tourist Establishments and Restaurants launched its new logo, reflecting a modern approach to institutional development and digital transformation. This initiative is part of the strategic plan developed by the Chamber's Board of Directors, chaired by Mr. Yasser Al-Tagoury, the Chamber's President, to meet the demands of the current phase and support the tourism and restaurant sector.

The new logo features a modern visual identity that reflects the nature of the Chamber's work and its vital role in supporting the tourism and hospitality industry, aligning with the state's drive towards digitalization, streamlining procedures, and improving the quality of services provided to member establishments.

The Chamber emphasized that the logo launch is not merely a cosmetic change, but rather the beginning of a new phase based on expanding the use of digital and technological solutions. This will be achieved through the development of an integrated electronic services system aimed at supporting and marketing member establishments and enhancing their presence both locally and internationally.

Providing Electronic Services to Support Tourist Establishments

The Chamber explained that its plan includes providing electronic services to support member tourist establishments and restaurants. These services will facilitate financial and administrative procedures, reduce time and effort, and positively impact the work and investment environment within the sector.

The plan also includes expanding the Chamber's and its members' marketing efforts through modern digital platforms and providing more effective communication channels with members, thereby enhancing their competitiveness and improving the quality of services offered to tourists.

The Chamber's Board of Directors affirmed that the next phase will witness further developmental steps within a comprehensive vision aimed at modernizing operational mechanisms, strengthening partnerships with tourism establishments, and supporting the state's efforts to achieve comprehensive digital transformation within the tourism sector.

The Central Bank of Egypt is offering treasury bills worth EGP 115 billion today, Thursday, with maturities of 182 and 394 days, in coordination with the Ministry of Finance. This will be done through two tranches: the first tranche is worth EGP 45 billion with a maturity of 182 days, while the second tranche is worth EGP 70 billion with a maturity of 364 days.

Treasury bills are a government debt instrument issued with maturities ranging from three months to one year; therefore, they are considered short-term securities.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Egypt, in its last meeting, decided to maintain the key interest rates unchanged. Accordingly, the overnight deposit and lending rates and the Central Bank's main operation rate were kept at 19.00%, 20.00%, and 19.50%, respectively. The discount rate was also kept at 19.50%. The Ministry of Finance authorizes the Central Bank, throughout the fiscal year, to manage its own offerings of treasury bills and bonds in Egyptian pounds, provided that the proceeds are financed and spent on the items of the state’s general budget for the current fiscal year.

This agreement will support the project’s future expansions in line with growing demand and ensure the completion of our vision according to the highest quality standards.”

He continued:

“This agreement also reflects the level of confidence that Orascom Development enjoys among major banking institutions, a confidence that we deeply value because it demonstrates the strength of our business model, the quality of our assets, and our ability to deliver projects that create sustainable value for our customers while supporting urban and economic development in Egypt.”

“The bank’s participation in this syndicated financing comes within the framework of its strategy to support major projects with economic and developmental feasibility and to actively contribute to financing vital sectors that support economic growth, particularly the real estate development sector, given its important role in driving urban development and stimulating numerous related industries and activities, in addition to creating more job opportunities.”

El Etreby added:

“Financing O West reflects the National Bank of Egypt’s confidence in the project and its commitment to continuing cooperation with leading banking institutions and companies to finance projects that support the state’s urban development plans and achieve sustainable economic growth.”

He noted that the National Bank of Egypt is participating in the financing as Initial Mandated Lead Arranger, Facility Marketing Bank, and Account Bank for the borrower’s contribution.

In the presence of the Head of the Food Safety Authority and with the participation of the Export Council

Beti organizes a panel discussion entitled “From Standards to Implementation: Egypt’s Vision for Enhancing Food Quality and Safety”
Dr. Tarek El-Houby: Food safety is a shared national responsibility, and partnership with the private sector supports the competitiveness of Egyptian products
The Export Council for Food Industries: Food industry exports reached $2.43 billion in four months, and quality and food safety are essential conditions for opening markets
Chris Abboud: “Beti” conducts 11 million analyses annually and invests more than 30 million Egyptian pounds in quality and control systems

Beti, a subsidiary of Almarai, organized an awareness panel discussion entitled “From Standards to Implementation: Egypt’s Vision for Enhancing Food Quality and Safety.” The event was attended by Dr. Tarek El-Houby, Head of the National Food Safety Authority, representatives from the Export Council for Food Industries, and a number of representatives from relevant authorities and leaders in the food industry sector. This initiative supports the state’s efforts to build a safe and sustainable food system and highlights the role of the private sector in implementing the highest standards of quality and food safety. The Food Export Council participated in the event, represented by Ms. Mai Khairy, the Council's Executive Director. Also participating were Mr. Mohamed Bashenfar, Mr. Ahmed Ghazi, Mr. Ahmed El-Ayouti, and Major General Hatem Hussein, members of the Board of Directors of the Food Industries Chamber, as well as Mr. Chris Abboud, General Manager of Beyti, a subsidiary of Almarai.

Dr. Tarek El-Houby, Chairman of the National Food Safety Authority, stated that food safety has transcended being merely a regulatory obligation and has become a shared national responsibility requiring integrated efforts between regulatory bodies and the private sector to build a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable system.

The head of the National Food Safety Authority explained that estimates from some international research centers indicate that the size of the Egyptian food market is approximately $175 billion, with the value of the food and agricultural industries market reaching about $30 billion, with projections of a 9% growth rate by 2030.

Dr. Tarek El-Houby pointed to the ongoing cooperation between the Authority, the Export Councils, the Food Industries Chamber, and companies to establish best practices and develop an integrated system starting from the farm and passing through manufacturing, production, and packaging processes, all the way to the final product. This enhances food safety and increases the competitiveness of Egyptian products in local and international markets.

He emphasized that effective partnership, the exchange of expertise, and strict adherence to best practices are the cornerstones for establishing a culture of compliance from source to consumer, strengthening public confidence in the food available, and opening wider horizons for Egyptian products to compete in local and international markets. For his part, Professor Chris Abboud, General Manager of Beyti, a subsidiary of Almarai, stated that the food industry sector is witnessing rapid development alongside increasing challenges related to food security, resource sustainability, and raising quality and food safety standards. He emphasized that the company's role extends beyond producing safe and high-quality food to include contributing to building a more efficient and sustainable food system that supports Egypt's vision and enhances the competitiveness of national industry.

He added that Beyti has invested more than EGP 30 million in laboratory analysis and control systems, in addition to operating 32 production lines equipped with the latest manufacturing and automated control technologies. The company also conducts more than 11 million analyses annually across various stages of production and implements over 1,000 inspection and self-monitoring campaigns, as well as more than 7,000 hours of auditing and review annually to ensure the application of the highest levels of quality and safety in all its operational processes.

He affirmed that the company continues to invest in quality, innovation, and human resource development as key elements to achieve its motto, "Quality You Can Trust," and to support the ability of Egyptian food industries to compete in local and global markets. He emphasized Beyti Company's commitment to applying the highest quality and food safety standards, reflected in its inclusion on the National Food Safety Authority's white list, demonstrating the alignment of its operational system with best practices in compliance and oversight.

He affirmed the company's continued support for the state's efforts and its commitment to fostering dialogue and knowledge exchange with relevant stakeholders, based on the belief that public-private partnerships are a cornerstone for building a more efficient and sustainable food system and enhancing the competitiveness of Egyptian products in local and international markets.

Ms. Mai Khairy, Executive Director of the Export Council for Food Industries, confirmed that quality and food safety standards have become essential factors in boosting the competitiveness of Egyptian exports and opening new markets. She explained that international markets no longer rely solely on price but increasingly focus on consistent quality, product safety, efficient traceability systems, and adherence to regulatory requirements. She noted that Egyptian food industry exports reached approximately $2.432 billion during the first four months of 2026, achieving a growth rate of 7.1% compared to the same period last year, after the sector's exports reached approximately $6.8 billion in 2025.

She explained that continued export growth requires increased company investments in quality control laboratories, production line upgrades, employee training, and the implementation of traceability systems. This will contribute to reducing the risk of shipment rejections, maintaining importers' confidence, and ensuring the sustainable presence of Egyptian products in foreign markets.

She pointed out that expanding into international markets should be based on studying the requirements of each market independently, selecting appropriate products, and enhancing companies' technical and export readiness before commencing exports. This will reduce commercial and regulatory risks and improve companies' ability to build long-term relationships with importers.

She emphasized the importance of integration between the National Food Safety Authority, the Export Council for Food Industries, the Chamber of Food Industries, and the private sector. She stressed that opening markets and increasing exports is a shared responsibility that begins with preparing the facility and product according to the required specifications, and ends with maintaining a sustainable presence for Egyptian products in target markets.

It is worth noting that the discussion session included the Export Council for Food Industries, Dr. Iman Helmy, Advisor to the Chairman of the National Food Safety Authority for Government Relations and International Cooperation, Eng. El-Shahat Selim, Advisor for Legislation and Government Relations at the Chamber of Food Industries, and Mr. Saud Zaki, Executive Vice President of Quality, Product Development, Occupational Health and Safety, and Environment at Beyti, an Almarai company.

As part of the state's commitment to developing and revitalizing Sinai and implementing national projects aimed at supporting comprehensive development and providing a robust infrastructure capable of meeting the needs of development and investment projects, the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy continues to implement its plan to develop and support the unified national grid, considered one of the most important pillars of development. This is based on the directives and continuous follow-up of Dr. Mahmoud Esmat, Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy.

In this context, Eng. Mona Rizk, Chairperson of the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company, signed a contract with Al-Khorafi National, represented by Eng. Elia Saber, CEO of Al-Khorafi, for the construction of the permanent El-Tor substation, belonging to the Suez Canal Electricity Zone. The substation will operate at 220/66/11 kV and will be gas-insulated (GIS) on a turnkey basis.

The signing ceremony was witnessed by Eng. Ahmed Fathy, Head of Central Projects Sectors, and Eng. Zeinab Qamar, Head of the Central Projects Sector for Extra High Voltage.

The project aims to address the anticipated increase in future loads and replace the existing mobile substation with a permanent one. This will contribute to enhancing the stability of the electricity supply, raising the efficiency of the national grid within the Suez Canal Electricity Zone, and supporting development plans in Sinai and surrounding areas. The project is scheduled for completion within fifteen months, followed by a two-month period for feedback, if any, prior to initial handover, starting from the date of contract signing or site handover free of obstacles.

Engineer Mona Rizk confirmed that the project comes within the framework of directives from Dr. Mahmoud Esmat, Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, to continue implementing projects to strengthen and develop the unified national grid, in line with the state's comprehensive development plans and to ensure a safe and stable electricity supply for various development projects. She emphasized that the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company is continuing to implement its plans to raise the efficiency of the grid, enhance its capacity to accommodate current and future loads, and support development efforts throughout the country.

Madbouly: Presidential directives are being implemented regarding irregular labor, freelance workers, and Egyptians working abroad, ensuring they receive social protection and healthcare coverage

The agricultural and livestock production projects inspected yesterday contribute to providing numerous job opportunities for young men and women and achieving food security; the private sector should undertake their management and operation

New Alamein is witnessing a tangible qualitative transformation in terms of housing unit deliveries, the operational launch of many projects, and attracting large numbers of residents and tourists

Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister, chaired the government’s weekly meeting today at its headquarters in New Alamein City to discuss a number of issues and files.

The Prime Minister began the meeting by referring to the developments in the regional political landscape, including the renewed escalation of events amid continuing tensions between the conflicting parties. He noted that this significant development in the regional situation has cast a shadow over difficult economic repercussions affecting oil supplies, along with the renewed crisis in maritime navigation and energy supplies. He emphasized that the Egyptian state, under the leadership of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, had previously warned that such escalation and recourse to military solutions would lead to serious repercussions on all levels — political and economic — and would result in numerous economic crises. He stressed that there is no solution except through diplomatic efforts and containing these tensions in order to calm the regional situation and achieve peace and security in the region.

In this context, Dr. Madbouly explained that while some had rushed to adopt a highly optimistic scenario regarding the end of the crisis, the government also took into consideration the worst-case scenario, namely the renewal of conflict and its impact on energy supplies. He pointed out that global oil prices had risen again to reach $85 per barrel after having declined to $72. He affirmed that the government is working seriously to contain these developments and their negative repercussions, while continuing intensive diplomatic efforts in the hope of calming the situation and reaching a permanent agreement that would end this escalating crisis as soon as possible.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister, on his own behalf and on behalf of the members of the government, expressed his sincere condolences on the passing of His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the former Emir of the State of Qatar. He extended his deepest sympathies to His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and to the brotherly Qatari people, noting that the President had traveled to Qatar to offer condolences to Sheikh Tamim and the Qatari people on behalf of the Egyptian people.

The Prime Minister also highlighted the fraternal visit paid by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to the Kingdom of Bahrain, noting that the President reaffirmed Egypt’s solidarity with Bahrain in light of the current regional developments and emphasized Egypt’s support for Bahrain’s security and stability. He also stressed Egypt’s rejection and condemnation of the unjustified attacks against Bahraini territory, describing them as a blatant violation of international law and a dangerous escalation threatening regional security and stability, while affirming that the security of Arab states is an extension of Egypt’s national security.

Dr. Madbouly further referred to the President’s reception of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, noting that the meeting addressed bilateral relations as well as regional and international issues of mutual interest, particularly the developments in the Middle East and the efforts aimed at avoiding further escalation.

Speaking about the President’s activities, the Prime Minister also pointed to the President’s honoring of the national football team players and awarding them the Cup of Merit and honorary decorations in recognition of their performance during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Prime Minister then reviewed the meetings held this week, including several meetings conducted in implementation of President El-Sisi’s directives during the inauguration ceremony of the Strategic State Command Headquarters in the New Administrative Capital. He noted that three meetings had been held to follow up on presidential directives.

The first directive concerned food security, whereby the Future of Egypt Sustainable Development Authority, in partnership with the Ministries of Supply and Agriculture, was tasked with preparing an integrated program to ensure the availability of commodities and the stabilization and reduction of prices for citizens. He explained that extensive discussions had taken place with the relevant officials and that a comprehensive implementation plan had been agreed upon and would be presented to the Cabinet within days to begin executing the President’s directives.

The second directive concerned the media development plan. In this regard, preparations are underway for the conference called for by the President at the beginning of next December. A meeting was held with the Minister of State for Information and the heads of media and press councils and authorities to establish a full implementation plan.

The third directive was related to irregular labor, freelance workers, and Egyptians working abroad, ensuring that they obtain social protection and healthcare coverage. Work is currently underway in coordination with several ministries and entities to implement the President’s directives in this regard.

The Prime Minister also referred to the important development that took place during the visit to the El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant, namely the installation of the reactor pressure vessel for the second unit, following the installation of the first unit’s pressure vessel several months earlier. He affirmed that the El Dabaa project is a giant electricity-generation project and expressed hope that it would begin producing electricity by the end of 2028 after the completion of all four units, enabling the state to reduce the import bill, which represents a financial burden amid current political fluctuations.

In this context, the Prime Minister thanked the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy, the Nuclear Power Plants Authority, and all their employees for their tremendous efforts in realizing the Egyptian dream embodied in this giant project.

He also referred to his inspection tour yesterday of several livestock and agricultural production projects linked to achieving food security. The tour included three major projects, two of which belong to the private sector and operate in meat production, cattle breeding, and dairy production, in addition to agricultural projects producing important crops for the local market and export. He praised the quality of Egyptian products and their competitiveness.

The Prime Minister noted that his visit also included an inspection of the livestock production and dairy processing station affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture, which is witnessing continuous development in cattle breeds through crossbreeding with highly productive foreign breeds, thereby contributing to increased meat and milk production. He emphasized that Egypt has achieved significant progress in this field through both the public and private sectors.

Dr. Madbouly praised the agricultural and livestock production projects he inspected yesterday, affirming that they provide numerous job opportunities for young men and women and play a major role in achieving food security. He thanked all workers in the Ministry of Agriculture and the private-sector projects, directing that the private sector should assume the management and operation of these projects due to its extensive expertise in this field.

The Prime Minister also reviewed the details of his tour yesterday of New Alamein City and its projects, expressing his appreciation to all those involved in implementing these projects. He stressed that New Alamein is witnessing a tangible qualitative transformation, whether in terms of housing unit delivery rates, the entry of many projects into operation, the attraction of large numbers of residents and tourists, or the expansion of services and landscaping works. This has been reflected in rising occupancy rates in the city. He praised the achievements accomplished, especially the delivery of housing units to thousands of beneficiaries and the launch of commercial projects that have generated significant economic activity. He extended his thanks to the Ministry of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, the New Urban Communities Authority, the City Development Authority, and all ministry employees for their dedicated efforts.

Cabinet Meeting Decisions Chaired by Dr. Mostafa Madbouly

The Cabinet, in its meeting today chaired by Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, approved several decisions:

1. The Cabinet approved proceeding with contracting procedures with Elsewedy Electric to establish a project for manufacturing all types of electrical wiring harnesses and their components on a 22.6-acre plot of land in the Manshaat Kamal area of ​​Fayoum Governorate.

2. The Cabinet approved the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, represented by the Holding Company for Food Industries, to contract for the construction of 300 strategic bakeries nationwide as a first phase, in implementation of presidential directives aimed at meeting citizens' needs for this strategic commodity and ensuring its availability in all governorates.

3. The Cabinet approved a draft law to merge the Egyptian Agricultural Authority with the Agricultural Research Center, with the Center assuming all the Authority's responsibilities. This aims to achieve integrated functions and benefit from the combined efforts of both the Egyptian Agricultural Authority and the Agricultural Research Center, which are affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation.
