Germany's BAMAG to set up $17mln wastewater treatment plant in Egypt
During his meeting with Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Hassan El-Khatib, Iskander noted that the facility will be implemented in partnership with the Egyptian Maintenance Company (San Misr) and backed by European sustainability funds.
Iskander noted that BAMAG leverages EU financing, especially from the European Investment Bank (EIB), allocated to support climate action and pollution reduction projects in Egypt.
This came during El-Khatib's meeting with representatives of an international industrial alliance to explore investment opportunities in industrial wastewater treatment technologies and review prospects for expansion into African markets via Egypt.
The meeting also discussed opportunities for technology transfer and local industry development in line with Egypt's objectives to support water security and drive sustainable growth.

Ethiopia: Ministry of Finance Launches First-Ever Issuance Calendar for Treasury (T)-Bills
As part of ongoing efforts to reform and modernize public finance management and to foster market-based deficit financing through domestic-currency Treasury bills and bonds market, the Ministry of Finance has published its first three-month Treasury-bill issuance calendar. This milestone supports the government's 'reset, reform, and relaunch' agenda, deepening the domestic debt market and improving transparency. By giving market participants clear visibility of upcoming auctions, the calendar enhances predictability and builds investor confidence. It also underscores the government's commitment to borrow domestically in ways that limit inflation and safeguard macroeconomic stability. The calendar embodies the shift toward a genuinely market-based approach to Treasury-bill issuance. This compliments the opening of the secondary market and the introduction of more competitive retail auctions open to a wider range of investors through the Ethiopian Securities Exchange. The Ministry of Finance will continue to build on this momentum by promoting openness, broadening investor participation, and aligning Ethiopia's debt-management practices with international best practice.

South Africa: National Assembly Adopts the 2025 Revenue Laws Amendment Bill
The National Assembly (NA) today approved the Revenue Laws Amendment Bill, which marks a significant step in the country's retirement reform agenda. The Bill proposes changes to several tax laws. It is categorised as a Money Bill, processed under Section 77 of the Constitution and follows extensive consultations led by the Standing Committee on Finance. The Bill is part of necessary legislative reforms to support the implementation of the two-pot retirement system, which aims to give individuals limited early access to a portion of their retirement savings while preserving the remainder for retirement. The system was implemented in September 2024, and the amendments will provide much-needed clarity for retirement fund members and administrators. The Bill, among other things, clarifies terms like "retirement annuity fund" within the broader legislative context, although some terminology issues will need to be addressed in future updates. The National Treasury published the draft bill in December 2024. This was followed by extensive public participation in Parliament's Standing Committee on Finance, where public input was received from June 2025 onwards. With the National Assembly's approval, the Bill will now be sent to the National Council of Provinces for further consideration. The full committee report (dated July 18, 2025) can be accessed using this link: Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Republic of South Africa: The Parliament.
