Egypt: EFG Hermes advises on Nesma & Partners' acquisition of AYTB
Arab Finance: EFG Hermes, an EFG Holding Company, has concluded its advisory role to Nesma & Partners on the acquisition of Al Yusr Industrial Contracting Company (AYTB), according to a press release. Through its Investment Banking division, EFG Hermes acted as the sole buyside financial advisor to Nesma & Partners, a leading integrated project solutions company in Saudi Arabia. Saud Altassan, CEO of EFG Hermes KSA, commented: 'This transaction is a strong testament to the strength and depth of Saudi Arabia's industrial sector and reflects our commitment to empowering key national players that are actively shaping the Kingdom's transformation.' 'We are honored to have supported Nesma & Partners on this important milestone and remain focused on driving impactful, value-creating advisory work that aligns with Vision 2030's goals of localization, diversification, and sustainable growth,' added the CEO. On his part, Karim Meleka, Co-Head of Investment Banking at EFG Hermes, said: 'This transaction marks a pivotal moment in Nesma & Partners' evolution and enhances its capacity to deliver high-value services across the whole asset lifecycle.' AYTB, a provider of industrial services in Saudi Arabia, brings over four decades of specialized expertise in operations and maintenance (O&M), manufacturing, and industrial services across critical sectors. It operated in the oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation. Following the transaction, AYTB will continue to operate as an independent company within the Nesma & Partners group, maintaining its organizational structure, brand, and operational autonomy. With a strong legacy in contracting, Nesma & Partners launched its business in 1981 as a contracting firm to meet the growing demands in the Kingdom. It has scaled its footprint locally through its contracting and industrial services and globally through its fully-owned subsidiary, Kent, a renowned leader in engineering and project management services. The group is currently delivering end-to-end, reliable, and innovative services across the energy, infrastructure, and building sectors, spanning consulting, engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, and maintenance. It is jointly owned by Nesma Contracting Limited, Alturki Holding, Rawabi Holding, and the Public Investment Fund (PIF). In line with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, Nesma & Partners seeks to achieve national transformation through consistent innovation, strategic capacity building, contributing to driving sustainable growth. Since the beginning of 2025, EFG Hermes has advised on five M&A transactions and six equity capital market (ECM) agreements across the region, including Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. © 2020-2023 Arab Finance For Information Technology.

Oman: $155mln bonds at 4.3% to attract investors
MUSCAT - The Government of the Sultanate of Oman, through the Central Bank of Oman (CBO), has announced the 75th issuance of Government Development Bonds (GDBs) worth RO 60 million, with an additional RO 30 million greenshoe option, to be auctioned on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. Carrying a competitive coupon rate of 4.3 per cent per annum, the bonds will mature in three years, on July 24, 2028, offering semi-annual interest payments. The first coupon will be disbursed on January 24, 2026, making this issuance an attractive vehicle for both income-focused investors and those seeking a safe, sovereign-backed opportunity. According to the CBO, this offering is open to all categories of investors, including both residents and non-residents, regardless of nationality, making it a potential magnet for regional and international capital. The bonds are fully backed by the Government of Oman and serve as unconditional obligations, providing investors with a high level of capital security. The auction aligns with the government's wider efforts to deepen local financial markets, promote financial inclusion, and offer diverse investment instruments in line with Oman Vision 2040 goals. With interest rates remaining volatile globally, Oman's offering at 4.3% is expected to garner keen interest amid a tightening international credit environment. 'This issuance sends a strong signal about the resilience and transparency of Oman's financial sector,' said a senior market analyst based in Muscat. 'Government Development Bonds are a preferred instrument for institutional investors looking for low-risk and stable returns.' The subscription window opens on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, and closes on Monday, July 21, 2025, allowing investors a six-day period to apply. Participation is facilitated through licensed commercial banks operating in the Sultanate, who will handle application submissions. The minimum investment required is RO 100, making it accessible to retail investors as well. Beyond attractive returns and safety, the bonds offer collateral advantages—they can be pledged as security for loans from licensed banks. Additionally, the bonds will be listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX), providing liquidity and a secondary market for early exits. To participate, investors must possess an MCD Investor Code, which can be obtained through the Muscat Clearing and Depository Company (MCD) website or the Oman Stock Exchange at least one day prior to the application deadline. Applicants must also provide a bank account registered with MCD to receive interest payments. The inclusion of a RO 30 million greenshoe option—an additional allotment in case of oversubscription—indicates confidence that market demand could exceed the initial offer. Previous GDB issuances in Oman have witnessed strong investor participation, especially from pension funds, corporates, and high-net-worth individuals seeking fixed-income opportunities. This 75th issuance comes at a time when Oman continues to focus on economic diversification, fiscal reform, and building investor trust in its capital markets. With steady yields, guaranteed government backing, and full tradability on the MSX, the GDBs are set to serve as a benchmark for financial instruments in the region. 2022 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Federal Tax Authority emphasizes importance of promptly registering for Corporate Tax
H.E. Khalid Al Bustani: The number of registrations for Corporate Tax has increased to 576,000 registrants Abu Dhabi, UAE: The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) confirmed an increase in the number of beneficiaries from the Corporate Tax Late Registration Penalty Waiver initiative applicable to Taxable Persons and certain categories of Exempt Persons required to register with the FTA who were late in submitting their Corporate Tax registration applications within the specified deadline. The FTA clarified that in order to be exempt from the AED 10,000 'Late Registration Penalty' for Corporate Tax, Taxable Persons (or Exempt Persons required to register) must submit their Tax Return (or annual declaration) no later than seven months from the end of their first Tax Period (or the first Financial Year), instead of nine months. The Late Registration Penalty Waiver initiative applies only to the first Tax Period of the Taxable Person (or Exempt Person required to register), regardless of whether the due date of the first Tax Return (or annual declaration) was before or after the new decision came into effect. H.E. Khalid Ali Al Bustani, Director General of the Federal Tax Authority, emphasised the importance of the non-registered Corporate Tax Taxable Persons to submit their Corporate Tax registration applications to the FTA, followed by the submission of Tax Returns through the 'EmaraTax' platform within the specified deadline, in order to benefit from the UAE Cabinet Decision on the waiver initiative to exempt Taxable Persons and certain categories of Exempt Persons required to register with the FTA, from Administrative Penalties resulting from failing to submit a Corporate Tax registration application. His Excellency mentioned: 'This important initiative comes as part of the comprehensive strategy to support business sectors and encourage voluntary compliance with tax laws and procedures to avoid Administrative Penalties, which contributes to promoting economic growth, ensuring tax transparency and fairness within a legislative environment that keeps pace with developments through sustainable improvement, while maintaining performance quality and managing the tax system with the highest levels of efficiency and accuracy.' His Excellency Director General added: 'It is clear that the initiative to waive the Late Registration Penalty is incentivising many registrants for Corporate Tax as we note an increase in the number of Corporate Tax registrations to 576,000 – up from 538,000 registrants before the launch of the waiver initiative, in April 2025. This resulted in an increase of 38,000 additional registrations, as thousands of Corporate Tax registrants have submitted their Tax Return and annual declaration within the specified deadline to benefit from the Late Registration Waiver.' His Excellency Khalid Ali Al Bustani also stated: 'These indicators are a clear reflection of the initiative's success, which shows how the awareness on tax compliance and procedures is growing across all business sectors, in the UAE. The FTA is keen to continue engaging with the business community through various awareness channels, as well as to seek taxpayers' views and discuss ways to overcome any challenges they may face. Furthermore, the Authority is intensifying its efforts, in cooperation with the relevant entities, to raise awareness about the importance of the initiative and the need for non-registered Corporate Tax Taxable Persons to act quickly and benefit from the waiver initiative by submitting their registration applications, tax returns, and annual declarations within a period not exceeding seven months from the end of their first Tax Period or Financial Year.' About Federal Tax Authority The Federal Tax Authority was established by Federal Decree-Law No. (13) of 2016 to help diversify the national economy and increase non-oil revenues in the UAE through the management and collection of federal taxes based on international best practices and standards, as well as to provide all means of support to enable taxpayers to comply with the tax laws and procedures. Since its inception in 2017, the FTA has been committed to cooperate with the competent authorities to establish a comprehensive and balanced system to make the UAE one of the first countries in the world to implement a fully electronic tax system that encourages voluntary compliance, with simple procedures based on the highest standards of transparency and accuracy – beginning from registration, to the submission of tax returns, to the payment of due taxes through the Authority's website:
