UK firm to build $2.4bn fertiliser plant in Egypt

A UK company plans to invest nearly $2.4 billion in a fertiliser plant in Egypt that will use household waste as feedstock.

London-based Polar Hydro Company intends to set up the project in Egypt’s Giza free zone to meet domestic fertiliser needs and export the surplus to Europe.

The facility will process and safely recycle solid household waste to produce biofuel and fertilisers, Egypt’s cabinet said on its Facebook account on Tuesday.

Minister of industry and transport Kamel Al-Wazir disclosed the project during a meeting of industry officials, during which he said the plant would help safely dispose of piles of waste in the area and create jobs for Egyptians.

“The ministers instructed officials to provide all kinds of support and facilitate procedures for the company so it will embark on the project as soon as possible,” the ministry said in a statement.

Egypt, the third-largest Arab economy, is seeking industrial investment to boost exports and ease a painful trade deficit.

The country targets a 20 percent annual increase in exports through 2030 and is prioritising five sectors: tourism, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, and information/communications technology.

The statement said ministry officials would soon meet Polar Hydro representatives to discuss the project.

The cabinet said another UK-based company — Blue Skies Global, a fresh fruit producer and exporter — plans to build refrigerated storage spanning 10,000 square metres. The facility will serve the company’s two factories in the 10th of Ramadan City and handle products designated for export.

Egypt’s food exports grew by 11 percent year on year in the first 11 months of 2025, exceeding $5.8 billion, it added.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut.

All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
