We are pleased to share our 2023 impact report and ongoing efforts to strengthen #Egypt's private sector. The first half of 2024 has been busy. In February, Egypt received a $35 billion investment from ADQ, the largest foreign investment in the country's history. Two weeks later, Egypt signed an $8 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund. These funding arrangements have helped stabilize Egypt's economy after a foreign currency shortage, increasing prices, and record inflation that has come down considerably in the last year. In this context, we continue to invest in Egypt's private sector. We are supporting two new fund managers, Foundation Ventures and East Lane Partners, to help strengthen the local #venture capital and #private equity industry. We also committed $50 million to the second fund of our long-time partner, TCV Tanmiya Capital Ventures. In total, we have supported 7 first-time fund managers, who have helped us invest in over 130 companies that today support 55,000 jobs. We look forward to continuing to strengthen the local investment ecosystem by investing in Egyptian talent. Growing the private sector is the key to unlocking Egypt's economic potential. https://lnkd.in/gvwUxtCq
