Brazil Officially Removes UAE from List of Jurisdictions with Preferential Tax Regimes
A Milestone in Bilateral Economic Cooperation Mohamed Bin Hadi Al Hussaini: The UAE applies global best practices and international standards in tax and financial policies The Ministry of Finance announced that the United Arab Emirates has been officially removed from the Federative Republic of Brazil's list of jurisdictions with preferential tax regimes, a significant step that reflects the UAE's strong commitment to the highest standards of tax transparency and global financial governance. This development also underscores the depth and maturity of the economic and trade relations between the two countries. This achievement stems from the official visit of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, to the Federative Republic of Brazil in November last year, and the constructive cooperation between Brazil's Ministry of Finance and the relevant UAE entities. Dedicated technical teams from both sides worked closely to fulfil all requirements related to tax transparency and investment standards adopted by the Brazilian authorities. The announcement represents the culmination of a long-standing technical dialogue founded on strategic alignment and partnership. New Horizons: His Excellency Mohamed Bin Hadi Al Hussaini, Minister of State for Financial Affairs, affirmed that removing the UAE from Brazil's list of jurisdictions with preferential tax regimes reflects the UAE's unwavering commitment to implementing best practices and international standards in its tax and financial frameworks. 'This step is a testament to the success of UAE diplomacy in building partnerships based on transparency and mutual trust,' he said. H.E. added: 'We view this achievement as a launchpad for further strengthening economic cooperation with Brazil and unlocking new opportunities for mutual investment that serve both nations' ambitions for comprehensive and sustainable economic development. We will continue working to deepen bilateral ties and activate strategic initiatives that benefit the economies and people of both countries.' Shared Opportunities: It is worth noting that the UAE is the leading destination for Brazilian exports among Arab countries, with bilateral trade exceeding USD 4.3 billion in 2024, making Brazil the UAE's largest trading partner in South America. Both sides remain committed to leveraging all avenues of cooperation and shared opportunities to enhance their economic ties. The removal of the UAE from Brazil's list is expected to further accelerate bilateral cooperation, particularly in priority sectors such as trade and investment. This development supports sustainable development goals and strengthens the UAE's position as a global business hub. This announcement marks a pivotal milestone in UAE-Brazil relations and reflects the two countries' shared vision of building a strong economic partnership grounded in tax transparency, governance, and support for initiatives that drive sustainable growth and shared prosperity.

Egypt's inflation surges at fastest pace this year in May
Egypt's urban inflation rate saw its fastest acceleration of the year in May, reaching 16.8 percent year-on-year, up from 13.9 percent in April. This surge was primarily driven by increasing food prices, according to data released by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) on Wednesday. This marks the third monthly acceleration in consumer price increases in Egyptian cities this year, following similar upticks in March and April. On a monthly basis, urban inflation stood at 1.9 percent in May, compared to 1.3 percent in April. Key drivers of inflationary pressure The rise in May was notably fueled by significant increases in food categories: fruit prices jumped 13.4 percent year-on-year, vegetables rose 2.1 percent, and fish increased by 2.4 percent. Additionally, prices for medical appliances and equipment saw a 6.9 percent increase. Central Bank's outlook and administrative decisions Despite the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) noting a moderation in upward inflation risks in May, it cautioned that these risks 'remain present due to the effects of protectionist trade policies globally, escalating regional conflicts, and fiscal adjustment impacts exceeding expectations.' The CBE, in a statement accompanying its second interest rate cut this year on May 22, anticipated a continued decline in the annual general inflation rate for the remainder of 2025 and throughout 2026. It cited a slowdown in overall and core inflation, alongside a decrease in underlying inflation, as indicators of improved inflation expectations. Many of this year's inflationary pressures in Egypt have stemmed from administrative decisions. In April, Egypt raised fuel prices for the second time in six months, anticipating savings of LE35 billion in the current 2024-2025 fiscal year budget. This increase, averaging two LE per liter, affected all types of gasoline and diesel. Over the past year, the government has also increased prices for various goods and services. Metro and train ticket prices rose by 12.5 percent to 25 percent in August 2024 as part of efforts to reduce subsidies on essential services and goods. In a significant move, the price of subsidized bread was increased by 300 percent in May 2024, the first such hike in over three decades. This was followed by announced price increases for landline internet and mobile phone services, electricity, and construction materials, specifically cement and iron.

Egypt Expands Export Rebate Program with LE 45 Billion Boost for 2025–2026
The Ministries of Investment and Foreign Trade, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, have officially launched an upgraded Export Burden Rebate Program for the 2025–2026 fiscal year, introducing broader support mechanisms and a restructured framework to empower Egyptian exporters. At the heart of the new program lies a significant financial expansion, with the total budget doubling to reach LE 45 billion. Of this amount, LE 38 billion is earmarked for targeted export sectors, while LE 7 billion has been allocated as a flexible reserve to respond to sector-specific challenges and emerging export opportunities. To guide equitable fund distribution, the government has adopted a comprehensive economic model that takes into account several key factors. These include value added by exports (50 percent), export growth rates (30 percent), production capacity (10 percent), and employment figures (10 percent). This structured approach ensures a data-driven and impact-oriented allocation process. The updated program introduces a two-tiered system of eligibility. Core criteria include export volume and the economic value generated, while additional factors consider broader developmental aspects such as participation in international trade fairs, penetration into strategic markets, branding efforts, logistics and transportation improvements, geographical expansion, adherence to international environmental standards, and energy efficiency. These additional criteria are weighted flexibly to reflect the varied priorities of each export sector. The LE 7 billion flexible reserve is specifically designed to target high-potential export products and launch incentive mechanisms based on the economic complexity of goods, starting with the engineering and chemical sectors. It will also support efforts to attract international companies to the Egyptian market, reinforce the growth of leading exporters, and fund infrastructure critical to export expansion. Among the standout features of the revamped program are its inclusivity, adaptability, and transparency. It supports businesses of all sizes — from small startups to large exporters — and offers clearly defined eligibility requirements alongside streamlined, timely disbursement. One of the most notable improvements is the commitment to settle dues within a maximum of 90 days, without deducting any outstanding tax liabilities, which marks a major step forward in restoring trust and boosting business confidence. The current 2024–2025 program, operating with a LE 23 billion budget, will continue without retroactive changes. For the first time, all disbursements under this cycle have been made within the promised 90-day period, and initial payments have been issued in full, free from tax-related deductions. To resolve longstanding arrears totaling LE 60 billion for shipments made before July 2024, the government has introduced a structured repayment mechanism. Half of the dues — approximately LE 30 billion — will be paid in cash over a period of four years. The remaining half will be offset through a clearing system that matches exporter claims with outstanding liabilities to government entities, including taxes, customs, utility providers, and social insurance institutions. In a joint statement, Minister of Investment Hassan El-Khatib and Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk stressed that the revamped program was developed following extensive consultation with export councils. The government conducted detailed discussions with 13 sector-specific councils to gather insights, assess past challenges, and shape a solution-oriented strategy tailored to each sector's unique demands. The ministers emphasized that this initiative is part of a broader national agenda aimed at enhancing Egypt's overall investment landscape and export competitiveness. To support this, the government has adopted a flexible exchange rate, implemented supportive monetary policies, offered tax incentives, eased non-tax burdens, and introduced 29 specific trade facilitation measures to accelerate Egypt's integration into global markets. Concluding their remarks, Minister Kouchouk reaffirmed the government's commitment to business community collaboration, noting that LE 45 billion has already been allocated in the upcoming fiscal year's budget to support the new program. From 2019 to 2024, over LE 70 billion was disbursed to more than 2,800 exporting companies. For the first time, exporters' dues for the current fiscal year have been paid within the 90-day timeframe, demonstrating the government's resolve to create a predictable and business-friendly export environment.
