Kenya to pay highest contribution to EAC budget in proposed new model
Kenya will contribute more to the East African Community budget in a proposed new financial model that is meant to cure perennial defaults by member states, which has left the bloc financially crippled. Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi announced the proposed model to the Kenyan parliament on Thursday based on each partner state's average nominal GDP per capita for the past five years as assessed by the World Bank. In this plan, East Africa's largest economy will contribute $12.1 million annually, (23.7 percent) to the EAC, based on an equal contribution of $8.5 million by each country. Tanzania will contribute $9 million, Uganda $8.5 million, Rwanda $8.3 million, South Sudan $6.6 million and Burundi $6.4 million. The EAC is assessing the latest entrants, Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia. Currently, partner states contribute equally to the budget of the Community – $7,007,747. The heads of state, at their 23rd Ordinary summit that met on November 24, 2023, agreed on a financing formula of 65 percent equal contribution by partner states and 35 percent assessed contribution.'On the basis of the proposed model, our computation shows that Kenya would make an additional contribution of $3.6 million, thus bringing her annual total contribution to $12.1 million, which accounts for 23.8 percent of the total annual budget for the Community,' Mr Mudavadi told MPs, when he appeared before the National Assembly Committee on Regional Integration. The model is meant to address economic disparities among partner states while ensuring sustainable financing for EAC operations and programmes.'Certainly, the 65 percent equal and 35 percent assessed rule benefits smaller economies like Burundi, Somalia and South Sudan, which have struggled to meet traditional contribution requirements due to limited fiscal capacity and competing domestic priorities,' the minister said. The framework aims to provide sustainable financing while ensuring that all partner states maintain ownership and responsibility for EAC operations and programmes. The formula is expected to cure the budget deficit problem occasioned by poor remittances, with only $32 million having so far been paid out from a $56 million contribution target for the 2024/25 financial year.'In the last two decades, Kenya has contributed a total of $186 million to the EAC. These contributions are anchored on Article 132 (4) of the EAC Treaty,' Mr Mudavadi said. The new proposal came after a study on the required reforms to align the EAC structure, programmes and activities with the financial resources available in partner states. This was to ensure sustainability of the Community while addressing the dependency syndrome. The study identified key priority projects, programmes and activities that could be implemented with available resources now and in the future without slowing the integration momentum and constraints with the existing funding structure by partner states and development partners that causes delays and non-compliance. The proposed hybrid model will be reviewed after three years of its implementation. Mudavadi admitted that the EAC is facing a financial crisis, with the July 2025 staff salaries not paid.'Although the East African Legislative Assembly has passed a rationalised budget for the 2025/26 financial year, which is a total reduction of $20,000, translating into a reduced contribution per partner state to the Community of $2,500, the Community continues to struggle in its operations and the July salaries and other statutory obligations lay in abeyance,' the minister said. 'The Secretariat continues to struggle in its operations due to funding challenges as it has been borrowing from the confederation kitty, which is now exhausted.'The Chairperson of the EAC Council of Ministers, Beatrice Askul Moe, tabled before the Eala the budget estimates for the 2025/2026 Financial Year totalling $109.3 million. So far, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda, have paid the full amount for the financial year 2024/25. South Sudan had paid $300,000 as at July 15, 2025, DRC owed $20.7 million and Burundi $15.7 million for FY2024/25. The EAC Secretary-General Veronica Nduva has dispatched debit notes to partner states with arrears. © Copyright 2022 Nation Media Group. All Rights Reserved. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (

Can Egypt's Coastal Tourism Thrive Year-Round?
Egypt's coastal cities have long been synonymous with vibrant summer seasons, as sun-seekers flock to the Mediterranean and Red Sea shores, injecting a powerful dose of energy and capital into the local economies. From the bustling beaches of Alexandria to the luxury resorts of the North Coast, summer tourism is a cornerstone of the nation's economic landscape, driving growth in hospitality, retail, and a myriad of related services. However, this seasonal boom also highlights a significant challenge: the pronounced "summer-winter divide." As the high season wanes, many of these coastal hubs experience a dramatic slowdown, leading to seasonal employment, underutilized infrastructure, and a palpable dip in economic activity. The Economic Impact of Summer Tourism Tourism is one of Egypt's promising sectors, with growing revenues despite geopolitical challenges. Tourism revenues increased by 15.4% to $12.5 billion during the period from July 2024 to March 2025, from approximately $10.9 billion during the same period the previous fiscal year, according to the Central Bank of Egypt's (CBE) Balance of Payments (BoP) report. This growth was driven by a 15.4% increase in tourist nights, which reached 134.3 million from around 116.4 million. In an effort to attract 30 million tourists annually, the Egyptian government aims to add 200,000 new hotel rooms within the next five years. This ambitious goal is a key part of the country's broader strategy to boost its tourism sector and increase its hotel capacity. Egypt's tourism revenues are not driven solely by foreign tourists, but by locals as well. Domestic tourism usually increases in summer due to long vacations and Egyptians visiting coastal cities. In 2024, Egyptians spent around $11.1 billion on domestic travel, while spending by foreign tourists reached around $16.3 billion, according to Moataz Sedky, General Manager at Travco Holiday Egypt. Summer tourism plays a vital role in Egypt's economic engine, especially during peak travel months, as both international and local visitors head to coastal resorts, historical sites, and cultural landmarks. Economist Ali Metwally tells Arab Finance: 'Egypt's coastal hotspots like Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, and the North Coast enjoy a major economic boost during the summer peak. In coastal cities specifically, this summer surge drives seasonal employment in hotels, restaurants, water sports, and transport, while greatly increasing demand for rental and resale real estate, particularly short-term vacation units, pushing property values upward.' 'However, seasonality brings sizable downsides for coastal towns. During off-peak months, many businesses and their staff face sharp drops in income. Heavy reliance on tourism makes these areas vulnerable, meaning employment becomes unstable and scales down dramatically, and small local businesses suffer profitability losses,' according to Metwally. Year-Round Tourism Egypt is working on maintaining high tourism all year round. Metwally explains, 'The government recognizes the need to transform seasonal hotspots into year-round destinations. As highlighted by key urban planners, a comprehensive master plan is essential to shift places like the North Coast away from summer-only peaks toward sustainable, vibrant communities.' 'This requires diversifying attractions, improving infrastructure, investing in off-season promotions, and integrating coastal cities into broader economic ecosystems, making them appealing and economically viable throughout the year,' he adds. Hesham Shafick, Assistant Professor of Strategic Management at the German International University (GUC), tells Arab Finance: 'The core ambition of projects like Ras Al-Hekma and New Alamein is to transcend Egypt's seasonal tourism trap by creating multifunctional urban ecosystems.' 'Ras Al-Hekma, a landmark $150 billion UAE-Egypt venture, prioritizes luxury residential units, tech hubs, and curated entertainment. It aims to attract high-spending tourists year-round, targeting 8 million annual visitors by 2040. New Alamein complements this by embedding universities and medical facilities to foster long-term residency,' Shafick adds. However, Shafick explains that this development might not be as promising as it seems. 'These projects risk becoming exclusive enclaves for foreign elites, sidelining affordable housing and local entrepreneurship. Without deliberate inclusion mechanisms, they may inadvertently deepen spatial inequalities rather than build resilient communities.' The challenge is not just economic inequality, it is also about long-term sustainability. While a seasonal foreign tourist peak is expected, building an entire city's viability around their constant presence is far riskier. Both approaches hinge on external demand, yet the sudden withdrawal of this 'hot money' in response to global shocks can trigger far deeper and more damaging economic consequences, according to Shafick. 'Extended off-season stays only make sense if the locals and their lifestyles are integrated into the tourist lifecycle. Egypt's coastal future hinges on rebalancing luxury megaprojects with community-rooted resilience. Without locally inclusive policies and experience-mapping rigor, these billion-dollar developments risk becoming seasonal showpieces,' he notes. To further ensure sustainable tourism all year round, developing travel infrastructure and attractive packages are essential. 'Strategic air access and tailored experiences are non-negotiable for winter demand generation,' Shafick says. 'Charter flights, such as Ras Al-Hekma's anticipated airport network, could bridge connectivity gaps for European and GCC tourists during off-peak months, lifting winter occupancy. Dynamic long-stay packages, such as month-long wellness retreats with cultural excursions, can stabilize revenue, as demonstrated in our neighboring coastal resorts like Türkiye,' Shafick points out. Shafick goes on, explaining, 'Persistent infrastructural gaps and fragmented policies undermine year-round viability. Only 40% of North Coast hotels operate in winter due to inadequate heating, water scarcity, and fragmented transport. The economic toll is severe, with hotels suffering 60-70% occupancy drops, forcing seasonal closures, eroding profits, and displacing skilled labor.' Egypt's coastal cities have proven their economic vitality through booming summer tourism, with rising revenues and ambitious expansion plans signaling strong momentum. Yet, beneath the surface of seasonal success lies a structural imbalance that threatens long-term sustainability. To truly unlock the potential of Egypt's shores, the path forward must prioritize inclusive, year-round development. This means integrating local communities into the tourism lifecycle, investing in resilient infrastructure, and crafting experiences that appeal beyond the summer sun. © 2025 All Rights Reserved Arab Finance For Information Technology Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Dubai's JA Resorts & Hotels makes UK debut with two heritage properties in Scotland
Dubai's JA Resorts & Hotels has taken over the management of two heritage hotels in Scotland, marking the homegrown hospitality brand's entry into the UK. The first property, Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort, is a historic 97-hectare estate outside Glasgow, while The Bruntsfield is a boutique hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Part of the prestigious Dutco Group, JA Resorts & Hotels operates hotels across Dubai and in the Maldives, including some of the oldest hotels in the UAE – JA Hatta Fort Hotel and JA Beach Hotel, which opened in 1981. Originally designed and built in 1828 by Sir Robert Smirke, the architect of London's British Museum, Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort is a historic five-star hotel set within a 97-hectare estate on the banks of the River Clyde. Dutco Group acquired the property last year and officially re-opened it in May following a £25 million ($33.6 million) refurbishment. The resort features 74 restored guest rooms and suites, two restaurants, two bars, as well as a 22-seater private cinema, gaming room and billiards room. The Bruntsfield, meanwhile, is located in Edinburgh's historic city centre and is a short walk from landmarks such as the Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and Princes Street Gardens. The boutique hotel was originally built as a Baronial-style residence on Borough Muir in 1861. The property underwent an extensive £1 million refurbishment in 2022, and was acquired by the Dutco Group last year. It features 72 rooms, a restaurant and bar, a heated secret garden, as well as spacious event facilities. The hotel holds a Gold Green Tourism accreditation for its focus on sustainability. 'Our journey as a brand has been both dynamic and deeply personal. Since opening JA Hatta Fort Hotel and JA Beach Hotel in 1981, we've proudly evolved – not just in our properties, but in the scope and spirit of the company itself," said Ahmed Baker, the chairman of Dutco Group. "As a homegrown brand rooted in Dubai's hospitality heritage, it is especially meaningful to see our growth extend internationally in ways that remain true to who we are.'
