Telecom Egypt, the countrys integrated telecom operator and a subsea cables provider, together with SubCom, the global supplier of subsea data systems, has announced the completion of two critical landings of the Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 6 (SEA-ME-WE-6) subsea cable system in Egypt. The cable has now come ashore at Port Said on the Mediterranean […] Telecom Egypt, the countrys integrated telecom operator and a subsea cables provider, together with SubCom, the global supplier of subsea data systems, has announced the completion of two critical landings of the Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 6 (SEA-ME-WE-6) subsea cable system in Egypt. The cable has now come ashore at Port Said on the Mediterranean coast and at Ras Ghareb on the Red Sea. Telecom Egypt facilitated the connection between the two coastal landing points by ensuring diverse and resilient terrestrial crossing routes were in place. With this, the SEA-ME-WE-6 subsea cable has completed its landing activities in Egypt. SEA-ME-WE-6 is the sixth edition of the SEA-ME-WE cable system family. The system connects Singapore (Tuas) to France (Marseille), crossing Egypts territory terrestrially. SubCom serves as the contractor responsible for building the subsea cable system. Upon completion, the SEA-ME-WE-6 cable system will establish a strategic connection between Africa, Asia and Europe through its 17 landing points, significantly enhancing global network infrastructure. Spanning a distance of 21,700 km, the systems consortium comprises 16 major subsea cable providers, including Telecom Egypt, alongside BEYON B.S.C (Bahrain), Bangladesh Submarine Cables PLC, Bharti Airtel Ltd. (India), China United Network Communications Group Company Limited, Dhiraagu (Maldives), Djibouti Telecom, Microsoft (United States), Mobily (Saudi Arabia), Orange (France), PCCW Global , Singtel (Singapore), Sri Lanka Telecom, Telekom Malaysia, Telin (Indonesia) and Trans World Associates (Pakistan). Mohamed Nasr, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Telecom Egypt, commented: 'We are thrilled to announce the successful landings of the SEA-ME-WE-6 cable system in Port Said and Ras Ghareb, marking another significant milestone in our journey to expand Telecom Egypts global reach and strengthen our subsea infrastructure. These two landings enable the connection between the Red Sea and Mediterranean segments of the cable via two diversified unique trans-Egypt terrestrial crossing routes. 'Over the years, the Eurasia route between Southeast Asia and Europe has proven its importance and effectiveness in carrying critical telecommunication traffic. Thus, we keep developing new routes to connect Singapore and Egypt, adding layers of diversity, enhanced marine paths and much-needed capacity. These strategic landings underscore our commitment to enabling countries across the region and beyond to realize their digital ambitions by investing in building a robust, resilient, and future-ready network to serve the global subsea community.' David Coughlan, President and CEO of SubCom, said: 'Our congratulations to Telecom Egypt and its consortium partners on the landings of SEA-ME-WE-6 in Port Said and Ras Ghareb, which are another major step towards the complete deployment of this expansive subsea cable system. From engineering to route design, and manufacturing to installation, SubCom has played a vital role in making SEA-ME-WE-6 a reality for its operators and their customers. Our team looks forward to the next set of milestones associated with this impressive project.'

IMF to combine reviews of Egypt's $8bln loan program
WASHINGTON: The International Monetary Fund on Thursday said it would combine the fifth and sixth reviews of Egypt's $8 billion support program this fall to give authorities more time to meet critical objectives of its economic reform program. IMF spokeswoman Julie Kozack told a regular briefing that IMF staff were working with Egyptian authorities on finalizing key policy measures, particularly on the state's role in the economy. A decision to combine the reviews, first reported by Reuters on Tuesday, could delay a new disbursement of funds to Egypt by half a year. Kozack said it was premature to discuss the level of any expected disbursement related to the combined reviews. The International Monetary Fund approved its fourth review of the program in March, unlocking a disbursement of $1.2 billion and bringing total disbursements to about $3.5 billion. The 46-month facility was signed in March 2024 following more than a year of severe foreign currency shortages and inflation that peaked at 38% in September 2023. Kozack said an IMF team met with Egyptian officials in Cairo May 6 to 18 for what she called "productive" discussions. "Egypt continues to make progress under its macroeconomic reform program, and we can say that there's been notable improvements in inflation and in the level of foreign exchange reserves, which have increased," she told reporters. However, she said, Egypt needed to deepen its reforms, reduce the state's footprint in the economy and improve the business environment to safeguard macroeconomic stability and bolster resilience. "Key priorities are advancing the state ownership policy and asset diversification program in sectors where the state has committed to withdraw," she said, adding such steps were critical to enabling the private sector to drive stronger and more sustainable growth. Staff discussions with authorities suggested that "more time is needed to finalize the key policy measures, particularly related to the state's role in the economy," Kozack said.

Aayan Developments officially launches Operations in Egypt and unveils its first project 'dǎoda Towers' in the New Administrative Capital
Aayan Developments has officially announced the launch of its operations in the Egyptian market and unveiled its first real estate project under the name 'dǎo Towers', a multi-use high-rise tower located in the heart of the New Administrative Capital. The project represents the first step in a carefully planned expansion strategy aimed at transferring the company's rich development experience from Gulf markets to Egypt, driven by an integrated vision that combines institutional thinking with smart development. During the press conference, Eng. Mohamed Hegazi, Chairman of Aayan Developments, stated: 'Entering the Egyptian market was not just an expansion decision — it is part of a long-term strategic commitment to a market we truly believe in. We bring decades of executional expertise from Kuwait and the Gulf, and with dǎo Towers, we aim to deliver a distinct model based on innovation, quality, and structured governance.' He emphasized that the project is a direct reflection of Aayan's philosophy, which views real estate development as more than construction — encompassing planning, operations, value creation, and a holistic user experience. He further noted that the company is preparing to launch a series of upcoming projects across various regions of Egypt as part of its national expansion roadmap. Eng. Rami Hegazi, CEO of Aayan Developments, highlighted that choosing MU-12 on the Bin Zayed Axis as the location for the company's first project in Egypt was no coincidence, but the result of an in-depth analysis of prime real estate positioning within the New Administrative Capital. 'dǎo Towers is not just strategically located with panoramic views of the Green River and the Iconic Tower — it's a fully integrated project in every detail, from the variety of unit types including offices, retail spaces, clinics, and a luxury hotel, to an operational experience enhanced by artificial intelligence.' He noted that the project will include several firsts in the capital, including the largest digital advertising screen on Bin Zayed Axis, the largest rooftop infinity pool overlooking the city's landmarks, and the largest open festival and event plaza within an integrated development — all of which enhance the project's investment, commercial, and lifestyle value. Eng. Ahmed Hegazi, Executive Director of Aayan, affirmed that the company entered the Egyptian market fully aware of the scale of the challenges, and accordingly built its internal structure on robust administrative and organizational foundations that align with its ambitious expansion plans. 'From the beginning, we adopted a flexible and scalable institutional structure. We developed an operational system that merges human expertise with advanced technologies. Artificial intelligence is not just a technical feature for us — it's a core part of our operational DNA, whether in energy and facilities management, smart customer services, or real-time performance analysis.' To realize this vision, Aayan collaborated with a select group of leading advisory and planning entities, including MTA (led by Eng. Mohamed Talaat) for architectural design, ACE (Moharram - Bakhoum) for engineering consultancy, Al Hosny Consulting (Eng. Osman Ramadan) for structural detailing, as well as partnerships with AWI for strategic business planning and institutional structuring, ETQAN for market research and financial feasibility, AK Consulting for organizational development, and Pragma Innovations for creative design. The company's board members emphasized that dǎo Towers is not just a strong market entry, but a bold statement of a new type of developer — one that places methodology, governance, and smart systems at the heart of its developments. They concluded the conference by reaffirming that this project is just the beginning of a series of future developments that will introduce a new model of real estate development in Egypt, grounded in quality, smart transformation, and structured growth built on strong partnerships and deep expertise.
