GB Lease & Factoring, a subsidiary of GB Capital—the financial services arm of GB Corp—has announced the successful completion of a securitisation transaction involving part of its leasing portfolio, totaling EGP 4.16bn. The deal was executed with support from its sister company, Capital for Securitisation, as part of a broader multi-issuance securitisation programme.
This transaction stands as the largest securitisation in Egypt's financial leasing sector for 2025, highlighting GB Lease & Factoring's leading market position and ongoing growth. It also reinforces the company's role in promoting securitisation within the non-banking financial services sector. The securitisation serves as a strategic move to bolster financing capabilities, diversify funding sources, and align with efforts to improve financial performance and expand market presence, while committing to long-term growth and market leadership.
Sherif Sabry, Managing Director of GB Lease & Factoring, commented: "The successful completion of the company's tenth securitisation issuance, valued at EGP 4.16bn, demonstrates the strong confidence of capital markets and financial institutions in the company's solid financial position, the quality of its financing portfolio, and its efficiency in risk management and sustainable growth." He added that the deal ranks among the largest securitisations of financial leasing activities in the Egyptian market to date, calling it a pivotal step in supporting expansion plans and strengthening its role as a key financing partner to the national economy.
Sabry praised the team's efforts and the effective collaboration with strategic partners, noting that this integration was crucial to the transaction's success. Several leading financial institutions were involved, with Commercial International Bank (CIB), CI Capital Holding, and Arab African International Bank (AAIB) serving as financial advisors and lead arrangers. The National Bank of Egypt, Commercial International Bank, Suez Canal Bank, Arab African International Bank, and Banque du Caire acted as underwriters.
