Egypt to prepare investment package for U.S. companies, says PM
The directive came during a meeting on Sunday to follow up on efforts to enhance Egypt-U.S. economic ties, according to a cabinet statement.
Madbouly stressed the government's interest in bolstering the strategic and historical ties between the two nations and its keenness to overcome any obstacles to joint cooperation. He noted that there are many promising opportunities available for American companies, given the significant incentives the Egyptian government offers to foreign investors.
The meeting was attended by the ministers of planning, foreign affairs, and investment, while the minister of industry and transport participated via video conference.
Minister of Industry and Transport, Kamel al-Wazir, reviewed investment opportunities that have been presented to U.S. companies in sectors including ports, maritime transport, and industrial zones.
Minister of Planning and Economic Cooperation, Rania Al-Mashat, discussed development cooperation with the United States, including projects funded through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Foreign Minister Badr Abdel-Aty and Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Hassan El-Khatib also reviewed their respective ministries' efforts to support bilateral ties, trade, and U.S. investment in Egypt.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Madbouly instructed all relevant authorities to coordinate on preparing the set of promising investment opportunities and to follow up on presenting them to American companies to enhance U.S. investments in Egypt.

IMF's Gita Gopinath to leave fund and rejoin Harvard University
Gita Gopinath, the second-highest ranking official at the International Monetary Fund, will be leaving her role next month to rejoin Harvard University, the IMF said on Monday. The IMF said Ms Gopinath will return to the Ivy League university, where she will be the inaugural Gregory and Ania Coffey Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics. She first joined Harvard in 2005 before being appointed to the IMF as its first female chief economist in 2019. Ms Gopinath was promoted to first deputy managing director in 2022. 'She came to the Fund as a highly respected academic in macroeconomics and international finance,' IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in a statement. Ms Gopinath served as the fund's chief economist during the Covid-19 pandemic, which Ms Georgieva said was an 'unprecedented challenge to our membership'. Ms Gopinath also co-authored the fund's pandemic plan on how to end the Covid-19 crisis, which the fund touted as a key contribution in setting global vaccination targets at a doable cost. As first deputy managing director, Ms Gopinath oversaw the fund's surveillance and analysis on fiscal and monetary policy, debt and international trade. She most recently represented the IMF at the G-20 summit in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. There, she warned that economic uncertainty remains high due to downside risks dominating the global outlook. The fund is due to release its updated global economic forecast later this month. She also laid out multiple priorities for policymakers, including building resilience and boosting medium-term growth. The fund said Ms Georgieva will name Ms Gopinath's replacement 'in due course'. 'I am truly grateful for my time at the IMF, first as Chief Economist and then as First Deputy Managing Director,' Ms Gopinath said in a statement. 'I now return to my roots in academia, where, I look forward to continuing to push the research frontier in international finance and macroeconomics to address global challenges, and to training the next generation of economists.'

Navigating H2 2025: Why disciplined investing matters more than ever
Image: Supplied As we step into the second half of 2025, the global investment landscape presents a complex mix of opportunity and uncertainty. Growth is slowing. Inflation refuses to fade. Interest rate cuts are still being postponed. Meanwhile, geopolitical tension is spreading across regions and asset classes. These are not market conditions that reward broad optimism or reckless positioning. My view is simple: H2 2025 will reward clarity, selectivity, and discipline. This is not a time for grand, one-directional bets. It is a time to build thoughtful, well-structured portfolios that can weather a slower, choppier world. A Slower but Still Resilient Economy The global economy is losing momentum, but it is not in freefall. The OECD now expects global GDP to grow just under 3 percent this year, while US growth is projected at 1.6 per cent. Inflation, particularly in services, remains above target in most developed economies. Central banks, especially the That reality is pushing investors to reset expectations. We are no longer in a world where monetary policy will do the heavy lifting. Instead, investors must rely on fundamental analysis, diversified positioning, and tactical execution. In equities, quality still leads Despite the noise, parts of the equity market are still working. Large-cap US stocks with strong balance sheets and pricing power continue to outperform. The S&P 500's strength is being driven by a narrow group of sectors including defense, financials, and selected technology names. Beneath the surface, however, dispersion is rising. We are focused on companies that offer real cash flow, global exposure, and resilience. Aerospace, payment networks, and energy infrastructure are showing stable earnings and investor support. AI-linked semiconductors and sovereign data infrastructure are also attracting structural capital. Fixed income Is back in play For the first time in over a decade, bonds are doing more than just cushioning risk. High-grade corporate debt is yielding 4 to 5 per cent, creating genuine opportunities for risk-adjusted income. At the same time, private credit continues to benefit from tight bank lending standards and investor demand for yield. We are rotating into shorter-duration, investment-grade credit, and allocating capital to private lending strategies that offer a clear edge over traditional fixed income. Private markets: A shift in mindset Private equity markets are showing renewed discipline. Buyers are being more selective, focusing on operationally sound businesses rather than growth at any price. Sectors such as digital infrastructure and decarbonization are generating strong interest, particularly as sovereign investors move into long-duration assets. Private credit is also coming into its own. With traditional lenders still cautious, asset managers are stepping in to fill the gap, especially in infrastructure, logistics, and middle-market lending. Thematic investing: Where capital is flowing We are watching three key secular themes: AI infrastructure remains one of the most underappreciated investment opportunities. Beyond the software and chipmakers, real capital is moving into data centers, cloud platforms, and edge computing. Energy transition is now investable, not just aspirational. Hydrogen, grid-scale batteries, and carbon capture projects are beginning to scale, supported by long-term policy incentives and private capital. Geopolitical hedging is becoming mainstream. Gold is up over 20 percent this year, defense stocks continue to see inflows, and utilities are outperforming broader benchmarks as investors seek protection from political risk and inflation shocks. The oil price rally is also pulling capital back toward traditional safe havens. Investors are increasing exposure to gold, US dollar assets, and energy-linked equities as a hedge against geopolitical volatility and commodity-driven inflation. How investment portfolios should be positioned We recommend second-half portfolio strategy to be grounded in five guiding principles: Focus on quality equities with strong balance sheets, global demand, and pricing power. Use fixed income actively, not passively, to drive consistent income. Allocate to private credit and infrastructure for long-term growth and yield. Include gold, defence, and utilities as volatility buffers. Maintain liquidity and flexibility to respond to political shifts, macro surprises, or market dislocations. H2 2025 will not be driven by narrative. It will be shaped by execution. This is not a momentum market, and it is not yet a pivot market. It is a market for professionals — those who can cut through the noise, assess risk with discipline, and allocate capital with precision. For investors willing to do the work, the opportunities are real. But they will not come easy. In a slower, more fragmented world, success will belong to those who stay grounded, stay agile, and stay committed to long-term value creation. The

Gaza's 'last lifelines' are collapsing, UN chief warns
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday condemned the fast-deteriorating conditions in Gaza, warning that vital aid efforts are collapsing. Israeli bombardments have intensified in recent days just as aid deliveries are being impeded, undermined and endangered, he said. 'The last lifelines keeping people alive are collapsing,' Mr Guterres said in a statement, expressing deep concern over 'growing reports of children and adults suffering from malnutrition'. He also criticised Israel's order for people to leave parts of Deir Al Balah, home to tens of thousands of people in southern Gaza. It will push people 'into more desperate conditions and further displacement and restricts the United Nations' ability to deliver life-saving aid'. Israeli tanks entered Deir Al Balah's southern and eastern districts for the first time on Monday. Israel said its military believes hostages may be held there. The area is packed with Palestinians displaced during more than 21 months of war in Gaza, hundreds of whom fled west or south after Israel issued an evacuation order, saying it sought to destroy Hamas infrastructure and capabilities. 'UN staff remain in Deir Al Balah, and two UN guesthouses have been struck, despite parties having been informed of the locations of UN premises, which are inviolable. These locations – as with all civilian sites – must be protected, regardless of evacuation orders,' the UN chief said. The warning came as more than two dozen western nations called for an immediate end to the conflict, stating that civilian suffering had 'reached new depths' amid Israel's expanded military operations in central Gaza. The UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned that conditions in Gaza are 'near impossible'. Israel's evacuation order cuts through 'Deir Al Balah all the way to the Mediterranean Sea, further fragmenting the Strip and pushing people into overcrowded, unsafe areas with no shelter or essential supplies,' OCHA said. Initial UN estimates suggest between 50,000 and 80,000 people are in the targeted zone, including some 30,000 displaced individuals sheltering in 57 sites. The mass evacuation order, the UN agency said, has 'dealt yet another devastating blow to the already fragile lifelines keeping people alive across the Gaza Strip.' The deepening crisis was underscored on Sunday when a World Food Programme (WFP) convoy carrying food supplies into Gaza came under fire near an Israeli checkpoint. In a statement, the WFP said crowds of starving civilians gathered as the lorries approached, only to be hit by gunfire from Israeli tanks, snipers and other forces. Dozens of people were killed. 'The agency is deeply concerned and saddened by this tragic incident resulting in the loss of countless lives,' the WFP said, adding that many more suffered life-threatening injuries. 'These people were simply trying to access food to feed themselves and their families on the brink of starvation.'
