Shimi: Asset returns, expansion top priorities

Engineer Mohamed Shimi, Minister of Public Business Sector and Chairman of the General Assembly of the Holding Company for Construction and Development, approved the company's planning budget for fiscal year 2025/2026.

Major General Engineer Mohamed Moustafa, Executive Managing Director of the Holding Company, presented the board's report and the draft budget to the assembly. The document aligns with the Ministry of Public Business Sector’s strategic vision, which draws from Egypt Vision 2030, the government’s national action plan, and the State Ownership Policy Document. The proposed budget sets a target of EGP 33.4 billion in total revenues and EGP 4.7 billion in projected net profits, as part of an ambitious strategy to enhance performance and boost the competitiveness of the group’s subsidiaries at regional and international levels.

Shimi affirmed that maximizing asset returns and expanding regionally through well-planned strategies are top priorities in the upcoming period. He underlined the need to strengthen partnerships with the private sector as a central pillar of the company's strategic direction. He also pointed out that integration among affiliated and sister companies represents a core strength that should be leveraged to maximize resources, support national megaprojects, and achieve more efficient financial and operational outcomes.

He further emphasized the importance of adhering to principles of quality, sustainability, governance, internal control, and digital transformation to enhance the company's competitiveness and efficiency. He highlighted the need to invest in human capital, make optimal use of real estate assets owned by subsidiaries, and continue implementing occupational safety systems and the ERP system to ensure transparency and efficiency. Performance will be continuously monitored through clear and measurable KPIs to support institutional excellence.

The Holding Company for Construction and Development plays a vital role in national development initiatives, including its contribution to the presidential “Decent Life” initiative aimed at developing rural communities. The company is also involved in executing water and sewage infrastructure projects, bridges, power lines, and premium residential developments such as Maadi View El Shorouk, Maadi Valley, Sea Pearl New Mansoura, as well as the development of Mokattam Corniche and New Heliopolis City.

The Holding Company places environmental sustainability among its top priorities. It contributes to projects that protect Alexandria’s coastline, expand water treatment facilities, and upgrade sanitation infrastructure—efforts that support Egypt’s national goals for environmental protection and sustainable development.

The Holding Company also supports projects executed by subsidiaries affiliated with other holding companies. These include the development of El Nasr Automotive Company (under the Metallurgical Industries Holding Company), new textile factories in El Mahalla, Kafr El Dawar, Damietta, Dakahlia, and Minya (under the Cotton and Textile Industries Holding Company), as well as the development of Jaz Assilah Resort in Marsa Alam (affiliated with the Tourism and Hotels Holding Company), and several pharmaceutical companies under the Pharmaceuticals Holding Company.

The subsidiaries of the Holding Company are also involved in regional expansion projects, with ongoing operations in countries such as Oman, Abu Dhabi (UAE), Iraq, Yemen, and Guinea. These efforts reflect the company’s strategic goal of reclaiming regional leadership in the fields of construction and real estate development.

The Holding Company’s subsidiaries operate across a wide range of sectors, including general contracting, real estate development and housing, electrical works, engineering consultancy, agriculture, asset management, and investment.
