Talent could be a factor specifically in the sense of how many people there are who are willing to grind. I don't know if that same hustle exists in UAE in the scale it does in Egypt.

This is quite insightful Samora! Something good is happening in Egypt as a favourite main operation centre for quite a number of fintechs with some shifting base from previously favourite locations like UAE and more specifically Dubai. The likes of Tabby (BNPL), Namshi (e-commerce). What could be the fuel in your view? Could the likes of Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, SA be gaining such traction as well? If not, why and what can they do?
