All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

In the political turmoil that followed the 2011 revolution, Egypt’s economy struggled to regain lost momentum as investors retreated from the market and revenues from tourism and the Suez Canal fell sharply. But the launch in 2015 of the country’s new economic development plan, which included the promise of economic reforms to improve the country’s financial health and a roadmap for megaprojects aimed at stimulating growth and jobs, launched a turnaround that is now in full swing. And, with IMF backing together with widespread regional support, confidence is returning quickly.

President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi’s convincing win in Egypt’s presidential elections in April 2018 provided an affirming rubber stamp for the government’s reform programme. And Cairo now is looking to move forward with much-needed power, infrastructure and industrial projects. The election suggests that Al-Sisi has the backing of Egypt’s business establishment. And, in spite of the pain caused by subsidy cuts, the inflation brought on by the float of the Egyptian pound has largely worked its way through the system and interest rates are falling. Assuming they continue their downward trajectory, Egypt’s banks, which are in good health, will once again be in a position to fulfil their role as facilitators of economic activity.

The power sector is a priority for Cairo, which is moving ahead with an ambitious renewable energy programme, alongside plans for the largest coal power plant in the world and the El-Dabaa nuclear power project, which is being 85 per cent funded by Russia. The electricity ministry is succeeding with its feed-in tariff programme, and is now looking to privately finance the bulk of its future capacity, through a pipeline of independent power projects.

Construction activity is being driven by Cairo’s urban development programme, which could see 23 new cities built, including New El-Alamein on the north coast. Development is also picking up on the $40bn New Capital City, as investors and developers come on board, and the government is hosting regular auctions to parcel off plots of land. Cairo has a $36bn pipeline of rail projects aimed at supporting growth through greater mobility and logistics capacity. While the development of ports along the Suez Canal into an integrated manufacturing corridor aims to capitalise on the waterway’s potential.

Written by MEED, the Middle East market experts within the GlobalData Group, Egypt will face many substantial social, economic and political challenges for many years to come. But the turnaround of the giant Egyptian economy over the past three years is one of the region’s emerging success stories. With a huge programme of capital projects, Egypt offers a strong pipeline of potential project opportunities across all sectors. And for companies seeking to offset the recent downturn in the GCC’s projects sector, Egypt offers much to consider, particularly for developers able to bring finance that can enable public sector investment projects.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
