Catalyst Leasing & Factoring, the non-banking financial services (NBFI) subsidiary of Catalyst Partners Middle East, has secured USD 12.5 million (EGP 600 million) in new banking facilities.
The financing was arranged with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank Egypt, Suez Canal Bank, and the National Bank of Egypt.
The company has set an ambitious target to raise these facilities to EGP 1.2 billion by the end of 2025 as part of its expansion strategy in the Egyptian market.
Established in 2013, Catalyst Partners is a regional investment and financial services firm offering investment banking, private equity, and non-banking financial services through subsidiaries. Catalyst Leasing & Factoring plays a key role in its NBFI portfolio.
Management explained that the new facilities form part of its strategy to diversify funding sources and enhance its ability to meet the financing needs of large and medium-sized companies.
Leasing and factoring solutions are central to this approach, given their role as key growth drivers of Egypt’s non-banking financial sector.
Driving Economic Activity Through Financing
With the fresh facilities, Catalyst Leasing & Factoring aims to expand its operations, develop tailored financing products for multiple industries, and increase its competitiveness in the sector.
By financing investment and production projects, the company seeks to stimulate economic activity and private sector growth.
This move comes as Egypt’s NBFI sector experiences significant expansion, supported by government policies designed to broaden access to financing. Tools like leasing and factoring are increasingly crucial in providing liquidity to businesses and reducing reliance on traditional bank loans.
