AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Egypt Retail Payments: Valu is partnering with Fawry to plug Valu payment and financing into the myfawry app, pushing more everyday financial services into Egypt’s digital rails. Egypt Asset Management: Egypt’s FRA says investment funds’ net asset value jumped to about EGP 410.6bn in Q1 2026, with 187 funds and 31.4bn certificates—money market and equity funds led. Egypt Prices Watch: IDSC data shows mixed daily moves across staples (rice up, sugar down) plus varied poultry, meat, fish, and dairy prices. GCC Finance: S&P expects slower Islamic finance growth this year (5%–10%) as Middle East conflict weighs on sukuk issuance and risk appetite. Macro Spillover: Markets remain jittery as the Iran war keeps oil and inflation pressure front and center; Thailand’s central bank says it’s not rushing rate hikes, citing easing supply-side inflation risks. Policy/Politics: JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon warns he could pull a major UK investment if Labour turns “hostile to banks.”
