- Financing lifts recent EBRD-backed funding for Hassan Allam Group close to $48 million.
Hassan Allam Holding (HAH), a premier Egypt-based engineering, construction, and investment group with a 90-year legacy in the MENA region, has secured a $25 million loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to support equipment upgrades across its construction operations in Egypt.
The financing, channeled to its core subsidiary Hassan Allam Construction, will primarily fund capital expenditure, including investments in machinery and project equipment. It is expected to enhance execution capacity as demand rises for large-scale infrastructure, industrial, and energy-related projects across Egypt.
EBRD deepens exposure to Egypt’s construction sector
The latest financing builds on a long-standing relationship between the Cairo-based conglomerate and the multilateral lender. In February 2025, the EBRD extended a four-year $22.6 million facility to Hassan Allam Construction to support a capital increase.
Together, the two facilities bring recent EBRD-backed financing for the group to nearly $48 million, underscoring continued confidence in Hassan Allam’s operating model, balance sheet strength, and project pipeline.
Equipment upgrades to support project execution
Hassan Allam ranks among Egypt’s largest construction and top family-run groups in Africa, with operations spanning infrastructure, energy, and industrial developments both domestically and across select regional markets.
The latest loan will support modernization of equipment, improve productivity, and help maintain competitiveness as project complexity and scale increase.
EBRD expands private-sector lending in Egypt
The transaction aligns with the EBRD’s broader strategy of expanding private-sector financing in Egypt. In recent months, the bank has increased lending to companies in logistics, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals, sectors viewed as critical to economic resilience and job creation.
Earlier, the EBRD provided EGP1.3 billion ($27.6 million) in financing to Ibnsina Pharma to support capital expenditure for a new warehouse and long-term working capital.
For Hassan Allam Holding, the latest facility strengthens its ability to modernize assets, scale operations, and remain a key player in Egypt’s evolving construction landscape.
