Moody's hails Egypt-Qatar investment deal

Credit rating agency Moody's has applauded the recent Egyptian-Qatari partnership agreement to develop the Samla and Alam El Roum area in Matrouh, viewing it as a significant boost to Egypt's credit profile.

In a report dated November 10, Moody's stated that the deal enhances the positive credit momentum for Egypt, aligning with the agency's favorable outlook for the country.

The agency anticipates that the resulting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows will help stabilize the exchange rate, boost investor confidence, and support the continued decline of inflation. This, in turn, is expected to pave the way for lower government borrowing costs and an improvement in Egypt's debt affordability.

Moody's also noted that strong inflows from non-resident investors into government treasury bills have supported an increase in the commercial banks' net foreign assets to approximately $10 billion in September 2025, the highest level since 2014. The agency stated this has alleviated external vulnerability pressures and enhanced financial stability.
