As the first forum of its kind to be held since the newly imposed US tariff regime, with <\/span><b>220 companies from 12 countries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> presenting and participation from <\/span><b>675 institutional investors and fund managers representing 252 global institutions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, I believe this is the ideal forum to identify new opportunities in the wake of this latest storm.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s one company I want to spotlight today that\u2019s especially close to my heart \u2014 Valu. Valu has transformed the BNPL space in Egypt and built itself into one of the country\u2019s most recognizable and respected brands. <\/span><b>Today, Valu boasts 750,000 active users, posted over USD 8 million in profits for 2024<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and continues to grow at impressive rates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019ve decided to <\/span><b>distribute a minority stake in Valu<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as a dividend to our shareholders in a first of its kind transaction in the Egyptian market, creating an opportunity for investors to gain direct exposure to the company\u2019s growth story, while also benefiting indirectly through their holdings in EFG Holding.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to an independent advisor, the company\u2019s valuation currently stands at USD 300 million.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the key reasons EFG Holding, and many other Egyptian companies, continue to trade below their true intrinsic value is the sustained absence of foreign institutional equity investors amidst ongoing concerns about the macro picture. <\/span><b>However, recent positive changes warrant a fresh look and a deeper analysis from the global investor base<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Our markets have not experienced the bull run that others in the region or the US have enjoyed, and many of our strongest companies \u2014 operationally sound and growth-oriented \u2014 are still trading at unjustifiably low multiples that don&#8217;t reflect the growth prospects of these blue chips that have operationally done well despite all the challenges.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Key takeaways <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">from <\/span><b>Mr. Rami Aboulnaga, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on Egypt&#8217;s Economic Reset, moderated by<\/span><b> Mr.<\/b> <b>Ziad Daoud, Chief Emerging Markets Economist at Bloomberg:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Egypt has prioritized <\/span><b>building economic buffers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to shield itself from external shocks\u2014recognizing that while <\/span><b>crises can&#8217;t always be avoided<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, their impact can be minimized with the right tools and preparation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the <\/span><b>crossroads of regional instability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Egypt remains in a constant state of vigilance. Policymakers are leaning toward resilience-driven policies to stay ahead of geopolitical fallouts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The impact of tariffs on Egypt is still being diligently assessed however, there is no doubt that this is a <\/span><b>transformational global moment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, echoing the volatility of the pandemic. The depth and complexity of the current crisis were <\/span><b>impossible to forecast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, but Egypt\u2019s focus is on domestic readiness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Egypt has allowed the <\/span><b>foreign exchange market to self-correct<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, using it as a <\/span><b>shock absorber<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> rather than resisting adjustment.

From a macro perspective what is needed is to continue to press with integration with more trading blocs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Global ambiguity is not within Egypt\u2019s control. The <\/span><b>focus is on what <\/b><b><i>can<\/i><\/b><b> be controlled<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: maintaining buffers, enacting sustainable reforms, and pressing forward\u2014unshaken by noise.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Egypt\u2019s 2024 FX turnaround tells a compelling story: from <\/span><b>-29bn to +10bn USD in NFAs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, with a <\/span><b>USD 12bn rise in reserves,<\/b> <b>which currently stand at USD 47bn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><b>external debt reduction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
