Kasrawy Launches Locally-Made Citroën C4X in Egypt
Kasrawy Group, the exclusive distributor of Citroën in Egypt, today officially announced the launch of the new locally assembled Citroën C4X.
The new Citroën C4X will be assembled at the Arab American Vehicles (AAV) factory in Cairo, a facility of the Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI), in collaboration with Stellantis—Citroën's parent company.
This milestone highlights Egypt's ability to meet global manufacturing standards, and reflects the strong partnership between the private sector and national institutions in advancing local automotive production. It also reinforces Kasrawy Group's commitment to strategic growth in Egypt, in line with the national vision to localize vehicle manufacturing and elevate the local automotive industry through world-class quality and innovation.
Kasrawy Group unveiled the new Citroën C4X's features, available to Egyptian consumers in two trim levels: the entry trim 'Feel', comes well-equipped with Citroën signature comfort features and safety technologies. While the premium 'Shine' version offers premium styling touches such as a panoramic sunroof and advanced driver assistance features. With starting prices of EGP 1,289,000 for the Feel trim and EGP 1,449,000 for Shine, the C4X enters the compact crossover segment as a strong contender, reinforcing Citroën's commitment to offering European quality at accessible prices for the Egyptian market.
'We are proud to introduce the new Citroën C4X—now built by Egyptian hands. This milestone reflects our confidence in the strength and potential of the Egyptian market and reaffirms our mission to expand locally and deliver high-quality vehicles supported by local capabilities,' said Eng. Mostafa Hussein, Vice President of Kasrawy Group Automotive Sector. 'Our partnership with Stellantis continues to focus on customer-centric strategies, from local production and access to cutting-edge technology through AOI facilities, to competitive pricing and exceptional after-sales service. This launch marks the beginning of a new chapter in Egypt's automotive landscape—where global innovation seamlessly merges with local expertise to deliver vehicles truly 'Made in Egypt'.'
Similarly, Hesham Hosny, Managing Director of Stellantis Egypt, emphasized: 'The local assembly of the new Citroën C4X is a strategic move that puts the Egyptian customer first. Local manufacturing not only ensures more stable pricing in a dynamic market, but also enables faster parts availability, and more responsive after-sales support through Kasrawy Group's extensive network. This initiative reflects Stellantis' unwavering commitment to supporting Egypt's industrial progress and to delivering vehicles tailored specifically to local conditions—whether through performance on Egyptian roads or climate-adapted air conditioning. By assembling the C4X locally, we can better meet the growing demand, shorten delivery times, and enhance overall customer experience, making the C4X more accessible and reliable for Egyptian drivers.'
The new C4X is powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged PureTech engine producing 130 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The design merges the sophistication of a fastback sedan with the practicality and elevated stance of an SUV, offering spacious interiors and a generous 510-liter trunk.
Since becoming Citroën's exclusive distributor in Egypt in May 2019, Kasrawy Group has driven remarkable growth by revitalizing the French brand through new model launches, competitive pricing, and improved aftersales services. In 2020, Citroën Egypt recorded the highest global growth rate outside France, with a 166% market share increase and over 5,300 units sold—despite pandemic challenges—positioning Egypt as a key market in the brand's global strategy. Achieving this remarkable success in a short time helped reinforce Citroën's presence in Egypt, and position the Egyptian market as a key driver in the brand's global expansion strategy.
Today, Kasrawy Group stands as one of Egypt's most prominent automotive distributors, known for its diverse portfolio of international automotive brands such as Citroën, Jetour, JAC, IVECO, and JAC Motors commercial vehicles. With a robust nationwide network of aftersales and distribution centers, the group continues to play a vital role in expanding Citroën's presence in Egypt, while contributing meaningfully to the transformation and growth of the local automotive sector.

Taiwan's Central Bank: US Debt 'Sound', No Concerns over Dollar's Status
Taarek Refaat Taiwan's central bank said on Sunday that US government debt is "sound" and still attracts investor interest, and that there are no concerns about the US dollar's status as the leading international reserve currency. The dollar's global standing has been called into question after US President Donald Trump's announcement of tariffs on April 2, which led to a sharp decline in markets, including US Treasury bonds, cast doubt on the dollar's safe-haven status. Trump's complaints about the dollar's strength have fueled speculation that Washington wants to devalue the US currency. According to the central bank, Taiwan's $582.8 billion foreign exchange reserves are more than 80% comprised of US Treasuries. Responding to what it described as market concerns about US bonds and the dollar, the central bank stated on its website that there was no cause for concern. He added, "There are currently no concerns about the US dollar's status as the leading international reserve currency. US public debt is stable and well-liquidated, and investors continue to prefer it as a store of value." The central bank also urged the media and market commentators not to speculate on foreign exchange rates, given the Taiwanese dollar's appreciation against the US currency since last month amid speculation that Washington had asked Taipei to allow it to strengthen as part of tariff negotiations. In its statement issued on Sunday, the central bank stated that its inspection teams had discovered that some unnamed foreign investors had transferred large sums into Taiwanese dollar deposit accounts under the pretext of investing in Taiwanese stocks. However, no such investments have taken place, according to the bank, adding that foreign investors should use the transferred funds to invest in local securities if that is the stated purpose of their investment, "not to use them to speculate on the Taiwanese dollar exchange rate." read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

World Bank to Support Syria with $146 Million
Taarek Refaat The Syrian government began formal discussions on Sunday regarding a $146 million grant agreement from the World Bank, allocated to repairing electricity transmission lines with Jordan and Turkey, the first step of its kind in nearly three decades. Syrian Finance Minister Mohammed Yusr Barnieh confirmed in a LinkedIn post that technical meetings have begun with the participation of representatives from the Ministries of Finance, Energy, and the Central Bank of Syria, along with independent experts. A large delegation of World Bank experts, including financial, legal, and electricity sector specialists, is also participating in the discussions, in addition to remote participants from Paris and Washington. The minister explained that the government is seeking to finalize all arrangements related to the agreement today and tomorrow, in preparation for presenting the project to the World Bank Board of Directors on June 23 for approval. Barnieh expressed the Syrian government's commitment to implementing the project with high efficiency to ensure its success, which could open the door to a new, doubled grant in the next fiscal year, beginning in July 2025. This grant is the first direct support provided by the World Bank Group to Syria in nearly thirty years. According to observers, this reflects the beginning of cautious international shifts in dealing with the Syrian issue at the economic level, especially in light of the country's urgent need to rehabilitate its infrastructure damaged by the war. Barnieh called on Syrians to be optimistic about their country's future, noting that this step could be the beginning of a broader economic openness that will contribute to reconstruction and improve basic services for citizens. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
