Your Trusted Partner for Egyptian Food Exports and Global Connections.
Strategic Partnership
Based on the strategic alignment between CIB & FEC which aims to support and accelerate the growth of Egypt’s food export sector, CIB has become the Food Export Council’s Partner Bank and exclusive sponsor on all digitalized platforms and social media channels. As the Council’s partner bank, CIB provides exporters with specialized financial solutions, trade advisory services, and cutting-edge digital tools designed to enhance their global competitiveness. This collaboration combines CIB’s banking expertise and international reach with the Council’s knowledge and extensive exporter network, creating an integrated ecosystem that strengthens Egypt’s position in global export food competitive markets.
More than a sponsorship, this partnership represents a strategic step toward transforming Egypt’s food export landscape by unlocking growth opportunities braced by CIB’s wide presence in Africa mainly in Kenya through its subsidiary CIB Kenya particularly growing the Egypt-Kenya trade corridor, enabling large Egyptian corporates and Egyptian SMEs to do business in the hub of Eastern Africa supporting foreign currency inflows, and enabling local brands to compete effectively in global markets.
