Cairo, which dropped its claims, wants to buy 24 Rafale and a frigate 5 billion, including armaments. Bercy has agreed to guarantee through Coface, half the sum out payment. Credit Agricole will probably be leading the way the banking pool.
Even if the caution is, the Rafale is approaching more and more of the Pyramids. Paris and Cairo have reached an agreement in principle to finance contracts covering 24 copies of Dassault combat aircraft and FREMM multi-mission frigate built by DCNS, according to our information. In all, the Egyptians will cost 5 billion euros, a very large sum given the very tight finances. But Paris has agreed to guarantee a large portion of the bank loan that will resolve it.
When she arrived on Monday, the Egyptian delegation camped on its positions: 24 Rafale, two frigates and a very large batch of missiles. In addition to the bill for these purchases - about 7.6 billion - is funding blocking. Cairo asked the French to secure almost 90% of the sum off payment. Unable seen Bercy.
Cairo revises its ambitions downwards
The lines seem to have moved from Tuesday. Aware of their limited resources, the Egyptians finally lowered their claims. The number of Rafale should remain the same, enough to arm two squadrons, but there will be more than a frigate. Above all, the number of missiles has been greatly reduced, allowing ultimately lowering the starting 2.6 billion bill. Most importantly, finally, the Egyptians agreed to Paris, via Coface, no guarantee "that" half of the 5 billion stake, excluding deposit (usually 15% on large arms contracts). Clearly, Cairo will have to put more of his pocket.
The outcome is close, but we must also overcome some obstacles before concluding. An agreement in principle on the guarantee of the French State in pocket, Cairo will now be able to negotiate a loan from a pool of banks. Crédit Agricole, one major French bank still present in Egypt, will probably be the file header it ensured the "Echos", along with BNP Paribas and Société Générale. The trio will probably try to dilute its risk by using other financial institutions, including Arab.
The drafting of the financing agreement should take two or three weeks course no insurmountable obstacle appears. This done, the payment of the deposit can then intervene. It was at that time, ie when Dassault will hit his first check, and only at that point that the Rafale can claim its first reference for export. A little patience
