Egypt starts airport privatisation process

2025/12/11 14:33

Egypt is seeking private companies to manage, operate and develop Hurghada International Airport as part of the government’s plan to privatise 11 airports.

Consortia and specialised companies have been given time to submit prequalification applications by February 12, the civil aviation ministry said in a statement.

In March the ministry partnered with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank, to introduce public-private partnerships (PPPs) at 11 airports.

IFC is acting as the lead PPP transaction adviser for Hurghada International Airport.

The privatisation initiative falls under the country’s asset monetisation programme, which was launched in June 2023. It aims to leverage private sector financing for airport upgrades and expansions without burdening the national budget.  

Hurghada is the second busiest airport in Egypt, behind Cairo International Airport, and a major gateway for Red Sea tourism, Ahram Online reported, quoting civil aviation minister Sameh El-Hefny.

The IFC will develop a strategy for private sector participation in 10 other airports – Sphinx International, Sharm El Sheikh International, Borg El Arab International, Luxor International, Aswan International, Sohag International, Assiut, Abu Simbel, El Alamein International and Marsa Matruh.

Cairo had 15 million tourists in the first nine months of 2025, a 21 percent year-on-year increase, putting it on course to meet its year-end target of 18 million.

Tourist arrivals are forecast to reach 18.6 million in 2026, up 4.6 percent year on year, the Egyptian cabinet said this month, citing a report by the Fitch ratings agency.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
