We are pleased to share that our partner, Imane Raouf, has been featured in EnterpriseAM. She provides expert insights on the evolving securitization landscape across MENA.
The article examines how securitization – one of the most "vanilla" financial instruments in the region – has become critical to the booming consumer and small-business finance industries in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, with Egypt home to the deepest and most sophisticated market for securitized debt.
As Imane explains:
"Securitization was once used primarily to optimize the balance sheet. Now, it plays an important role in improving liquidity, boosting revenues, and managing regulatory ratios. It has evolved into a strategic tool for growth."
She also highlights that one of the strengths of the Egyptian framework is that it has "evolved with the market rather than remaining static," allowing securitization to remain a relevant funding mechanism for evolving business models while maintaining appropriate safeguards.
The piece covers Saudi Arabia's draft securitization framework, the UAE's emerging private placement market, and Egypt's current regulatory correction.
We extend our appreciation to EnterpriseAM for this feature and for their continued coverage of critical developments shaping the region's financial landscape.
