TMG climbs to 4th in Forbes' Top 50 Public Companies in Egypt' list on surging sales, assets
Talaat Moustafa Group Holding (TMG) has climbed to fourth place on the Forbes Middle East list of 'Top 50 Public Companies in Egypt for 2025', following a substantial increase in sales and assets. The real estate developer was also named the leading company in its sector for the year.
The company advanced two places to secure the fourth position. The ranking reflects growth that saw the company's sales rise to $837m from $593m, while net profits increased to $284m from $70m. Total assets grew to $7bn from $4.2bn.
TMG's performance was supported by its operations as Egypt's largest real estate developer, with a land portfolio of 125.9 million square metres across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Oman. In 2024, the group's sales tripled to $10bn, driven by the launch of the 'Banan' project in Saudi Arabia and the 'SouthMed' project in Egypt. The 'SouthMed' project has generated $7bn in sales since its launch in July 2024.
In 2025, TMG continued its regional expansion with projects in Iraq and Oman, increasing its international land portfolio to 29 million square metres. The company said it anticipates generating approximately $33bn in sales from its projects across the three regional markets.
The performance of Egyptian companies listed in the 'Top 50' showed broad growth over the past year. According to the report, the total assets of these companies grew by 33% to $118.8bn by the end of December 2024, a figure equivalent to over 34% of Egypt's GDP. Combined sales for the 50 firms increased by 34.5% to $35.6bn, and net profits rose by 45% to $6.5bn. Their collective market capitalisation reached $35.1bn as of market close on 25 April 2025, a 19.6% increase from the previous year's $29.4bn.
The banking and financial services sector had the largest representation on the list with 17 companies, which together accounted for $13.5 billion in sales and $78.4bn in total assets. The industrial, real estate, and construction sectors followed, each with seven companies on the list.
According to the publication, its research team gathered financial data from the Egyptian Exchange to compile the ranking. Companies were classified using four equally weighted metrics: sales, total assets, and net profits for the 2024 fiscal year, along with market capitalisation based on market close on 25 April 2025. Companies with equal scores received the same rank. Firms that had not disclosed their audited 2024 financial statements by 25 April 2025 were excluded from the list. The report used foreign currency exchange rates from 25 April 2025.

OPEN// PM starts tour at Ain Sokhna port to follow up importing natural gas
CAIRO, June 21 (MENA) - Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli asserted on Saturday that the Egyptian government is actively working to secure the country's natural gas needs by enhancing the infrastructure required to receive imported liquefied natural gas (LNG). This move aims at boosting the efficiency and flexibility of Egypt's gas supply system to meet the growing domestic demand, particularly during the high-consumption summer months, he added. This came during an inspection tour on Saturday at Ain Sokhna port where Madbouli emphasized that these efforts are part of a broader, integrated package of measures being implemented by various ministries to ensure the stability of the national electricity grid. He particularly highlighted the importance of energy security in light of recent regional developments, notably the Israeli military operation in Iran. During the visit, Madbouli inspected the LNG regasification vessel Energos Eskimo, reflecting the government's commitment to strengthening energy security and ensuring the sustainability of gas supplies. He was accompanied by Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Karim Badawi. Madbouli revealed that Egypt is set to operate three regasification vessels starting from July. He also announced that a fourth regasification vessel would be held in reserve as a contingency measure to ensure continued availability of petroleum products and enhance national energy security.

The First of its Kind Collaboration with Imperial College London in the Region - Economy
Ushering through a strategic partnership to drive global sustainability solutions, Mentors Gate Development, a leading consultancy group working on SME and innovative entrepreneurship development across Africa and the Middle East, have joined hands with Imperial College London (ICL), ranked 1st in the UK and Europe; 2nd in the world in QS World University Rankings 2025, to officially launch a groundbreaking Industrial Wastewater Treatment Program, powered by ICL's WICKED Acceleration Labs, marking a critical step in advancing Egypt's environmental, industrial and economic goals. The initiative, unveiled during a high-level event in Cairo, aims to accelerate innovative, scalable solutions for industrial water treatment, aligning with Egypt's Vision 2030, UN Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the ongoing efforts for increased partnerships with the UK and EU countries towards creating viable opportunities for economic development in Egypt and the region. At the heart of this program is a commitment to driving real-world, sustainable impact. Industrial wastewater treatment has emerged as a global and national priority, with challenges pertaining to cost, infrastructure, regulations. The initiative targets not only technical innovation but also practical deployment, ecosystem engagement, and investment readiness. The launch event brought together a distinguished group of speakers on top of whom was Cristobal Garcia, Co-Founder of Wicked Acceleration Labs, Bassel Rahmy, MSMEDA Executive Director, Ambassador Magdy Amer, Former Egyptian Ambassador to China, FAO Communications Expert Rawya El Dabi, and ILO Project Manager Martin Ostenmeier. Respected guests included representatives of the UK Embassy in Egypt, the EU, as well as representatives from the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI), government entities, research institutions, and private sector leaders. Some of Mentors' Gates strategic partners have also joined the launch, most notably Orange Digital Center and Track 3 Consulting. Key highlights of the multi-day launch-visit included site tours in Alexandria's industrial zones, discussions at the City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications, and workshops that fostered dialogue between major players in Egypt's innovation ecosystem and lab representatives. Wicked Acceleration Labs Co-Founder & Faculty at IMPERIAL Business School, Dr. Cristobal Garcia-Herrera said that "This collaboration represents the essence of what Wicked Acceleration Labs were created to do—connect top-tier research institutions with on-the-ground 'wicked' and complex challenges in emerging economies, to drive effective solutions by envisioning desirable futures and orchestrating stakeholders. It is also of additional value to carry out this initiative in Egypt, where a spirit of advancement, collaboration and innovation is clearly sensed, and we plan to take this partnership with our partner-elect, Mentors' Gate, as a launching point to forge new, pioneering partnerships in the Middle East". Meanwhile, Dr. Mohamed El-Sery, Founder and CEO of Mentors' Gate Development, clarified that "Egypt is at a pivotal moment, and we believe this program can catalyze long-term change by merging innovation with industrial and environmental imperatives. It is a first of its kind initiative in the region, with one of the world's topmost academic entities on board, and it is an invaluable opportunity to move forward Egypt's sustainability plans". This program builds on the success of the Wicked Accelerator's previous global efforts, most notably with Imperial College London's Zikomo Initiative in Zambia - where Mentors' Gate played a key a role in the initiative - significantly reducing milk spoilage through solar refrigeration technology and increasing farmers' profit by 30-60%. The Egypt edition of Wicked Acceleration Labs seeks to replicate such impact by tackling Egypt's most pressing challenges and capitalize on increased call for sustainable, safety-ensuring and efficient practices, particularly as it comes on the heels of the UK and Egypt's announcement of a pledged $500 M fund towards Egypt's 'green growth' and decarbonization, Mentors Gate, the lead organizer and sponsor of the initiative in Egypt, is a global force in SME acceleration and entrepreneurship. With operations in 41 countries and a robust network of over 47,000 trainees and 12,750 business clients, the organization is well-positioned to empower startups and scale-ups working on sustainable industrial solutions. Their initiatives and projects focus on addressing sustainability, and food-nexus challenges including decarbonization and innovation development.
