Orascom Construction expected to record high profits in 2025-2029
Egypt's Orascom Construction Company is expected to record high profits over the coming five years, buoyed by project upturn in Egypt and the Gulf oil producers, an Egyptian investment research firm said on Wednesday.
An increase in public and private project investment in Egypt will give a strong push to Orascom Construction, which is also targeting projects in the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), HC Securities and Investment said.
In a report released by HC's analyst Nisreen Mamdouh, the company said:'We expect construction spending in Egypt to be strong, especially on infrastructure and projects which have nearly completed, mainly transport, water and power.'
The report added:'Our outlook for private local and foreign investment in Egypt remains positive, especially in mega projects in renewable energy and industry.'
The report projected an 11 percent annual growth in Orascom profits during 2025-2025 and that projects executed by the Company would reach nearly $8 billion during that period, with an average annual value of new projects of around $4.16 billion.
'We expect an acceleration in project execution, which will boost its total revenues by around 5.4 percent annually during that period,' the report said.
On Tuesday, Egypt's parliament endorsed an investment plan during the 2025-2026 fiscal year, which starts on 1 July and targets public investments of around 1.16 trillion Egyptian pounds ($2.3 billion), nearly 37 percent of the total targeted investments.

ADPIC signs strategic partnerships with nine leading academic institutions at Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit
Abu Dhabi – The Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC) today announced the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with nine prestigious academic and professional institutions. These significant partnerships, unveiled during the inaugural Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit (ADIS), underscore ADPIC's commitment to fostering innovation, developing local talent, and enhancing knowledge exchange within Abu Dhabi's rapidly evolving infrastructure sector. The agreements were signed with United Arab Emirates University (UAEU), Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), American University of Sharjah (AUS), Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi,, Abu Dhabi University (ADU), Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), the Project Management Institute UAE Chapter, and the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB). These strategic partnerships, a highlight of ADIS's focus on future-ready infrastructure, will concentrate on collaborative research, student development, curriculum enhancement, and knowledge exchange to address real-world challenges in infrastructure development and capital project management. His Excellency Maysarah Mahmoud Eid, Director General of ADPIC, said,"These partnerships represent a pivotal investment in Abu Dhabi's future infrastructure ecosystem. By embedding capital projects expertise within academic curricula and creating robust research collaborations, we're building a sustainable talent pipeline specifically aligned with market needs. Our vision is to transform how students learn about infrastructure development—moving from theoretical case studies to hands-on engagement with Abu Dhabi's real-world projects. This approach will not only enhance educational outcomes but also accelerate innovation in critical areas such as sustainability, modular construction, and AI applications in infrastructure management." The collaborations will focus on several key areas: Research & Development Collaboration The partnerships will establish joint research initiatives focused on Abu Dhabi-specific challenges and opportunities in infrastructure development. Research themes include sustainable materials, green construction, climate resilience, AI applications in project management, modular housing solutions, and waste reduction strategies aligned with the UAE Net Zero 2050 Policy. Talent Development & Acquisition ADPIC will work with academic partners to create summer programmes, internships, and field projects for students. The partnerships will establish formal talent pipelines, with universities providing CVs of top-performing graduates to ADPIC annually. This approach aims to ensure graduates possess the skills and knowledge required by the infrastructure sector. Curriculum Integration A key focus of the partnerships will be embedding capital projects management into engineering and business curricula. Students will gain practical knowledge about the unique attributes of infrastructure projects, government tendering processes, risk management, and approval procedures, preparing them for careers in the sector. Knowledge Exchange The agreements facilitate two-way knowledge transfer, with ADPIC experts serving as guest lecturers at partner institutions and university faculty providing specialised lectures to ADPIC staff. This exchange will enrich both academic programmes and professional practice. The MoUs also outline plans for innovation challenges, hackathons, and student competitions addressing specific challenges in the infrastructure and capital projects sector. These activities will foster creative problem-solving and entrepreneurial thinking among students. These collaborations align with ADPIC's broader mission to enhance Abu Dhabi's infrastructure ecosystem through strategic partnerships, innovation, and capacity building. By bridging the gap between academia and industry, ADPIC aims to create a knowledge-rich environment that supports Abu Dhabi's long-term development goals. About Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre Established in 2023, ADPIC's vision is to oversee and manage capital projects aimed at enhancing the quality of life for every resident in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. This involves diverse projects such as housing, infrastructure, tourism, community facilities, and education. ADPIC's mandate includes managing contracts, reviewing, approving, planning, and designing capital projects. These are overseen by the Centre in close collaboration with relevant entities and stakeholders to ensure quality is maintained while also facilitating efficient project execution in alignment with Abu Dhabi's strategic goals. Throughout its operations, the Centre is committed to strengthening public-private partnerships and adopting global best practices in sustainability.

Egypt pens $200mln deal with China's Sunrev Solar to build solar energy complex in Sokhna
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly witnessed the signing of a contract for the establishment of an integrated industrial complex for solar energy supplies in the Ain Sokhna industrial zone, within the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), as per a statement. The project will be developed by Chinese company Sunrev Solar with total investments of $200 million, and is among the largest industrial investments in renewable energy components within the zone. Spanning 200,000 square meters, the project will be executed in two phases. The first phase involves the construction of integrated factories with a production capacity of 2 gigawatts of solar cells and 2 gigawatts of solar modules, with investments of $90 million. The second phase, valued at $110 million, will focus on localizing the production of key raw materials such as silicon ingots and wafers, completing the full solar energy supply chain from raw material to finished product. Madbouly emphasized the strategic importance of the SCZone in attracting investments across various sectors, particularly in renewable energy. He noted ongoing efforts to localize manufacturing of new and renewable energy components, backed by strong government support and incentives. Chairman of the SCZone Waleid Gamal El-Dien stated that the project is expected to generate more than 1,800 direct jobs across both phases. It will contribute significantly to Egypt's export capacity, with anticipated annual revenues of up to $300 million. He added that the foundation stone will be laid on June 19th, with the first phase scheduled to begin operations in the first half (H1) of 2026. © 2020-2023 Arab Finance For Information Technology.
