Banque Misr signs cooperation protocol with the official Egyptian real estate platform to enhance mortgage services
The cooperation aims to facilitate customer access to mortgage financing services through the platform, where interested clients will be able to calculate an estimated mortgage value and communicate directly with the bank via the platform.
This collaboration comes within the framework of the bank's efforts to support the national economy and achieve Egypt's Vision 2030 by making mortgage services more accessible and adopting innovative digital solutions. Customers seeking to purchase real estate units will be able to benefit from exclusive financing offers and advantages tailored to their needs.
The cooperation also supports the government's strategy to promote Egyptian real estate regionally and internationally, especially among Egyptians working abroad, while also enhancing foreign investment in the sector by leveraging the state's official reliance on the platform to organize the real estate market.
Ms. Hend Fahmy, Head of Financial Inclusion and Mortgage Financing at Banque Misr, stated that this collaboration comes within the bank's commitment to supporting the real estate sector and making access to innovative financing solutions easier. She added that this step will enhance customer experience and make mortgage financing more accessible, thus supporting financial inclusion in the Egyptian market.
She also pointed out that by the end of July 2025, the bank's mortgage financing portfolio had reached around EGP 23 billion, benefiting more than 150,000 clients, thanks to the bank's comprehensive financing programs designed to meet the needs of different social segments.
Commenting on the agreement, Mr. Ahmed Elbatrawy, Founder and Chairman of The Official Egyptian Real Estate Platform, said:
"The cooperation with Banque Misr represents a qualitative leap in the real estate market, as we connect for the first time between real estate supply and demand data and direct mortgage financing services. This step not only strengthens citizens' trust in the platform but also opens wider horizons for developers and investors, reinforcing Egypt's position as a leading real estate market in the region."
Mr. Essam Bahgat, CEO of The Official Egyptian Real Estate Platform, expressed his pride in this strategic cooperation with Banque Misr, describing it as a pivotal step toward integrating mortgage financing services within the digital property search experience. He noted that this partnership will simplify the ownership journey for citizens and investors and support digital transformation goals in the Egyptian real estate market.
Banque Misr attaches great importance to the real estate sector, offering various financing programs to meet customer needs, with the goal of enhancing service quality and contributing to Egypt's sustainable development and prosperity.
The Official Egyptian Real Estate Platform is the first integrated real estate data platform officially recognized as a reference for the Egyptian real estate market. This unique status, both locally and globally, makes its cooperation with Banque Misr a pioneering model of integration between the financial and real estate sectors. The partnership enhances transparency and enables citizens and investors to access innovative financing solutions aligned with the best international standards.

Narrative Summit unveils key recommendations to position Egypt as a global tourism destination
Lamia Kamel: We look forward to these recommendations serving as a bridge between the exceptional leaders who took part in the Summit and decision-makers, paving the way for greater growth in Egypt's tourism and economy. Narrative Summit, Egypt's first international nation branding platform, has released its 2025 recommendations, highlighting new pathways to revitalize and strengthen Egypt's position as a world-class tourism destination. Held in April in Soma Bay on the Red Sea, the ninth edition of the Summit brought together government ministers, international business leaders, and tourism experts to discuss strategies that can drive growth, attract foreign investment, and showcase Egypt's competitive edge. The Summit reaffirmed that tourism remains one of Egypt's strongest competitive advantages, built on a heritage and cultural legacy unmatched worldwide. Among the recommendations was a stronger push for luxury and innovative offerings, most notably eco-tourism, which can appeal to new markets by showcasing destinations such as Siwa Oasis. The Summit also identified wellness tourism as a rising opportunity, blending healthcare improvements with economic development. Another key recommendation was the revitalization of Downtown Cairo as a vibrant, integrated entertainment and tourism hub that reflects Egypt's heritage. The model could later be extended to other neighborhoods, including Zamalek, Garden City, and Maadi, reinforcing their appeal to both domestic and international visitors. Complementing these urban development initiatives, the recommendations highlighted the anticipated opening of the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape Egypt's image on the global stage. With world leaders and international media expected to attend, the Summit stressed the importance of leveraging the event to reinforce Egypt's status as a leading global tourism destination. 'We want to put forward a clear, future-focused vision for Egyptian tourism, one that positions the country as a truly integrated global destination,' said Lamia Kamel, Founder of Narrative Summit, former Assistant Minister of Tourism for Promotion, founder of CC Plus. 'Through this report, we are sharing actionable recommendations that can guide decision-makers, helping to transform insights into tangible opportunities for growth.' Kamel also underscored the role of the recommendations in connecting insights to action, stating: 'We look forward to these recommendations serving as a bridge between the exceptional leaders who took part in the Summit and decision-makers, paving the way for greater progress in Egypt's tourism and economy.' She went on to explain that the report is not just a collection of ideas but a functional roadmap, designed to translate the Summit's discussions into practical steps that support Egypt's tourism ambitions and economic advancement. The recommendations further encouraged the promotion of lesser-known destinations, such as the Lighthouse of Alexandria, alongside Egypt's iconic landmarks, through innovative international campaigns that strengthen Egypt's image as a comprehensive tourism destination. To support creativity in tourism promotion, the Summit also called for simplifying filming procedures at scenic locations, enabling the production of artistic and musical works that enhance Egypt's positive global image. Finally, the Summit projected that these recommendations, if adopted, could contribute to an increase of around one million tourists annually. This outlook is supported by ongoing reforms, including streamlined visa processes, infrastructure development, and the rollout of major national projects, led by the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is described as one of the most remarkable cultural institutions the world has ever seen.
