Egypt real estate | 2018 to see greater inflows into branded property

Presales resilient, more catalysts ahead. Although, in context of property price hikes since Nov-16, 2Q17 presales were relatively muted (up 34% y-o-y) on scarce launches, 2H17 is already seeing improved momentum in Madinaty, Taj City, PHD New Cairo and other projects. Highly anticipated launches (655-feddan project, new phase in Taj City) should stimulate the market further, supported by i) sharp interest rate cut expectations starting 4Q17 and over 2018, ii) approaching maturity of high-yielding CDs (18-month 20% certificates maturing in May-18) fuelling new liquidity, iii) appreciating EGP accelerating expat purchases and, iv) further wage adjustments expected next year.
