Egypt Private Equity Market Trends & Drivers:

After a period of excessive investment, the private equity market in Egypt is beginning to recover. The biggest private equity fund manager in Egypt, Ezdehar, has stated that it expects to invest between $50 million and $100 million in higher education, retail, information technology service and consumer goods in 2011. In April 2007, fund bought 80% of Indian textiles manufacturer Seta Textiles of India for US$70 million, stating it is more wise to buy out influential minority stakes so as to drive value on operational issues rather than purely financial engineering towards a capital gains play. In 2021, PE and VC investments in the Egyptian fintech industry reached $437.7 million and $358.8 million respectively, which is 28.7 times higher than three years previously. Egyptian fintech attracted 35% of all African fintech investments, making the country the third-largest recipient of fintech investment in Africa. This sectoral shift from tech to consumption and export (growth) stocks paid off for both inflation hedging and export momentum investors.

Nevertheless, 77 M&A deals were closed in 2022, a 21% increase from two straight years of decline, with the largest being B Investments' 70% acquisition of Orascom Financial Holding. Other noteworthy deals were a USD 157.5 million fintech investment into MNT Halan, of which the IFC was a USD 40 million lead investor, the issuing of Golden Licenses, the fast-tracking of merger filings and the granting of incentives for technology, green energy, and manufacturing investments. In addition to foreign sovereign wealth funds, the government also began a privatization program to sell stakes in state enterprises. There are 61 private equity funds operating in Egypt with 253 billion dollars released into 4,342 rounds of investment in more than 970 Egyptian firms. The Sovereign Fund of Egypt was also set up for investment.

Thanks to regulatory decision 194, retail customers can now buy and redeem VC fund shares through fintech apps/websites. In the past, the entire venturescape was funded by high net worth individuals (HNWIs). In the last 5 years, Egypt's PE funds have invested in 334 seed/startups in Egypt ($1.02 billion), in 540 early stage deals ($12.7 billion), and in 362 late stage deals ($37.7 billion). The ecosystem is in the process of maturing as indicated by the increasing number of funds, exits and secondary markets. Egypt is most frequent country in Africa, and Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa make up 55% of the transactions and 64% of the capital deployed in Africa. Regulatory reforms, sector focus and improved market infrastructure make Africa an attractive destination for private equity from domestic and foreign investors.
