Egypt signs $1bln deal with China's Sailun group for tyre factory, cabinet says
CAIRO - Egypt has signed a deal with China's Sailun Group to build an automotive tyre factory in the Suez Canal Economic Zone, with total investments of $1 billion, a cabinet statement said on Wednesday. The facility will take three years to complete and will eventually produce 10 million tyres annually, the statement said. The first phase is due to be completed in 2026, it said. Egypt's Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCEZ)is a collection of six ports and four industrial areas alongside, or near the strategic waterway. The government has granted the area special legal and tax advantages to benefit from international shipping passing by. The zone's chairman said last year that it was spending heavily on infrastructure as it worked to attract investors. China has been looking to step up its economic activity in Egypt, including in projects involving ports, green hydrogen, industry and space.

EverGive targets $13m Bitcoin Reserve with new president appointment
Muhammed Yesilhard/Image: Supplied EverGive, the organisation pioneering a Bitcoin Reserve to provide sustainable, long-term charitable funding, has appointed co-founder Muhammed Yesilhark as president. An experienced investor and digital assets expert, Yesilhark has been instrumental in shaping EverGive's mission to free charitable funding from the constraints of high time preference and misaligned incentives. In his new role, Yesilhark will oversee strategy for EverGive's Bitcoin Reserve – currently valued at £1.55m ($2m) – with the goal of surpassing £10m ($13m) by the end of 2025. His remit includes guiding investment decisions, forging strategic partnerships, and ensuring the reserve delivers maximum long-term impact for the charitable sector. Yesilhark also serves as chief investment officer at NOIA Capital and sits on the Board of Directors of Dubai Chamber Digital Economy. His career spans leadership positions at hedge funds in New York and London, alongside long-standing advocacy for Bitcoin as a tool for economic empowerment and financial sovereignty. EverGive's model converts donations into Bitcoin, a scarce and borderless asset, allowing value to appreciate over time rather than being spent immediately. This approach ensures that partner charities, including Cancer Research UK, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and Orphans in Need, benefit from a predictable and growing stream of support, even in economic downturns. 'Bitcoin is more than just a financial asset. It's freedom technology,' said Yesilhark. 'EverGive is about turning generosity into permanence – creating an engine of support that doesn't erode with time, inflation, or politics. That's why Ismael and I are so committed to building this.' With more than $130m raised for charities by the EverGive team in previous ventures, the organisation now aims to reach 100,000 monthly donors and expand the reserve into a global endowment for causes with lasting societal impact. 'Muhammed's leadership and investment depth continue to be a powerful asset for us,' said EverGive co-founder and CEO Ismael Dainehine. 'His conviction in Bitcoin as a foundation for long-term giving has shaped EverGive's approach from day one. Together, we're building something that can shape how humanity manages its responsibility to the future, and how it funds impact – not just this year, but forever.' Digital asset donations exceeded $1bn in 2024, with more than 70 per cent of Forbes' top charities now accepting digital assets such as Bitcoin. EverGive is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift, not only adapting to change but helping to define the future of philanthropic infrastructure.

Jordan issues tender to buy up to 120,000 tons wheat
HAMBURG: Jordan's state grain buyer has issued an international tender to buy up to 120,000 metric tons of milling wheat, which can be sourced from optional origins, European traders said on Wednesday. The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender is August 19. A new announcement had been expected by traders after Jordan made no purchase in its previous tender for 120,000 tons of wheat on Tuesday. Shipment in the tender is sought in a series of possible combinations in consignments of 50,000 to 60,000 tons between October 1-15, October 16-31, November 1-15 and November 16-30. These are the same shipment periods as requested in Tuesday's tender. Jordan has also issued a separate purchase tender seeking 120,000 tons of animal feed barley, closing on Wednesday.
