Egypt experienced a strong rebound after a series of macroeconomic challenges in 2023, with a significant increase from 97 deals to 120 in 2024, marking a 23.7% year-on-year growth—the highest in the Middle East. Although this level is lower than the peak levels seen in 2022, the current surge can be partly attributed to Egypt’s ongoing economic reforms and efforts to attract foreign direct investment, particularly in infrastructure, fintech, and consumer markets.





The country also recorded 77 corporate transactions in 2024, highlighting strong private sector involvement in Egypt’s M&A market, signaling business confidence, economic diversification, and growth opportunities.


The largest M&A deals in 2024 included



  • The US$800 million acquisition of Legacy Hotels by Arab Co. for Hotels and Tourist Investments reinforces Egypt’s growing tourism and hospitality sector.

  • MNT Halan, a fintech and digital lending firm, saw investments worth US$157.5 million from a private investor group, indicating continued growth in Egypt’s fintech sector.

  • Egypt-based private equity firm B Investments Holding’s acquisition of a 90% stake in Orascom Financial Holding for US$49.33 million marks a significant milestone in the financial sector.
