EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 19/12/2025 / 10:00 UTC+8 Dubai, UAE - December 19, 2025 - (SeaPRwire) - Kamil Magomedov, an investment-focused real estate broker at Provident Estate, has released a new market outlook analyzing Dubai’s next phase of residential development, identifying Expo City Dubai, Dubai Islands, and the Dubai Water Canal corridor as emerging growth areas shaped by long-term master planning and infrastructure expansion. Dubai broker Kamil Magomedov anticipates demand, guiding investors to strategic properties by analyzing city master plans. His methods set him apart among industry peers as he prioritizes long-term residential gains and connects investor goals with urban growth and future infrastructure enhancements. Photo Courtesy of Kamil Magomedov Kamil Magomedov, a leading real estate expert and broker based in Dubai, is helping investors succeed by applying deep knowledge from city-building and investment strategy. While many brokers respond to press releases, Magomedov studies Dubai’s master plans to spot high-growth opportunities before they enter mainstream conversations. With years of experience as the former head of a government agency for investment development in Russia and as a national project leader responsible for the master plan of a city for 300,000 residents, Magomedov finds potential where others see untouched land. “When you’ve been on the side designing a city, you look at Dubai very differently. You see the logic before the buildings appear, the footfall, the infrastructure, the lifestyle ecosystem that will shape value,” says Magomedov. A recent example is Expo City Dubai. When His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum approved its master plan, much of the market doubted the future of the former Expo 2020 site. Magomedov, however, recognized a blueprint for one of Dubai’s most important future growth centers. He promptly informed his investor base and guided purchases in top locations near the entrance to the exhibition centre, areas mostly overlooked by agents. When major events and the World Trade Center relocate to Expo City by late 2026, the demand for residential units will significantly outnumber available options. This creates an opportunity for strong rental yields for Magomedov’s early-entry investors. “We entered early. By the time others realised why Expo City mattered, our investors were already holding the prime inventory, properties that will deliver 15–18 percent rental yields once events move in,” he says. Magomedov uses the same strategy on Dubai Islands along the waterfront. Here, he advises investors on Mr Eight, Rixos Residences, Imtiaz Beachwalk 1 & 3, and Grande, which offer daily amenities for residents, not just visitors. He notes, “Beach-access homes built for residents are in massive scarcity. Most beach projects were made for short stays. Dubai Islands change that, it brings everyday infrastructure to the shoreline.” Choosing highly walkable micro-zones on the islands, in his view, supports long-term value and rental performance. Further north along Dubai Water Canal, Magomedov sees the start of what will be Dubai’s “Mayfair or Fifth Avenue,” where prestigious properties like Muraba Veil and The Rings by PMR set new benchmarks for luxury living. “Not many understand that each city has the most valuable strip of land with the most valuable projects, and in Dubai that place is just emerging,” he notes. Magomedov continues to put his clients in properties along the Canal, suited to lasting value rather than fast turnover. Magomedov approaches real estate through the lens of urban logic rather than only numbers. While many agents focus on price per square foot, he considers the future residents, how infrastructure will support them, and demographic and visitor projections to calculate long-term value. “The average broker looks at today’s floor plan. I look at tomorrow’s skyline. Because I’ve built cities, I know how cities grow,” Magomedov says. This way of working, shaped by practical experience in planning and investment, has resulted in some of Dubai’s most lucrative property deals, often completed quietly, but noticeable in market results. His formula for success stays simple: Read the master plan, not the marketing brochure; invest before a location is accepted by the wider market, especially in places others doubt but where planning provides a future; and choose homes based on what future residents will want, not just what is currently popular. This lets Magomedov consistently “see the city before it’s built.” Dubai’s investor mix is also seeing change. Magomedov remarks on the movement from quick-flip buyers to thoughtful, rational buyers, including family offices and European investors from the UK, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. “They want to know exactly what they’re paying for, why, and how that property fits the city’s long-term direction. That’s why the master-plan approach resonates,” Magomedov explains. Magomedov believes Dubai’s next in-demand areas will be those where long-term livability meets liquidity. He adds, “The smart investor today buys into the city of tomorrow. That means choosing projects that make sense ten years from now, not ten weeks,” he says. With over twelve years spent in leadership and urban planning, Kamil Magomedov’s property market analysis is widely followed for translating complex city plans into practical investment moves. His YouTube channel offers steady guidance for investors exploring Dubai’s emerging areas such as Expo City, Dubai Islands, and Dubai Water Canal, and has grown into a widely-trusted resource for understanding the city’s property market. Kamil Magomedov is investment-focused real estate broker at Provident Estate in Dubai. He specializes in guiding international investors, offering strategic property solutions across residential, commercial, and luxury segments while drawing on a strong background in city planning and investment management.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 11/12/2025 / 17:30 UTC+8 Town Health Charity Foundation Donates 20-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines TWGHs Collaborates on Community Vaccination (Hong Kong, 11 December, 2025) Town Health International Medical Group Limited (“Town Health”) has partnered with Pfizer Corporation Hong Kong Limited (“Pfizer”) to promote territory-wide respiratory health education. Town Health announced today that, through the Town Health Charity Foundation, it is donating a batch of 20‑valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (“PCV20”) (Manufacturer: Pfizer) to Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (“TWGHs”) to support vulnerable groups, strengthening medical–social collaboration to enhance community health protection. Town Health and Pfizer are actively responding to the Primary Healthcare Blueprint of the Hong Kong Health Bureau and are launching a territory‑wide respiratory health education initiative jointly to promote a shift in the public’s mindset from “treatment-based” to “prevention-oriented”. Meanwhile, Town Health will leverage its extensive network of medical centres across Hong Kong to facilitate the public access to protection through PCV20. As a key community partner, TWGHs will oversee proper allocation of the PCV20 donated by the Town Health Charity Foundation and identify suitable beneficiaries across its service units for vaccination. Town Health, Pfizer and TWGHs will continue to work closely together to uphold Town Health Charity Foundation’s vision of “Guided by Love, Advancing Health for All”—to reduce the disease burden among underserved groups and enhance the overall health of the community.

To this end, Town Health has introduced the PCV20, allowing the public to obtain broad protection against 20 Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes with just a single dose. He added that through Town Health Charity Foundation’s donation of vaccines to TWGHs, Town Health is taking concrete action to support vulnerable groups through medical–social collaboration. Mr. Nicholas Chan, Commercial Lead of Pfizer Hong Kong and Macau, shared the view and emphasised that pneumococcal disease places a significant healthcare burden for Hong Kong society and believes that comprehensive Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype protection is essential. He hopes that this collaboration will enhance public understanding of pneumococcal disease. Dr. Chan Lee, Head of TWGHs K B Tam & W K Li Medical Centre (North Point), expressed gratitude to Town Health and Pfizer for their commitment to community health and TWGHs is honoured to serve as a community partner and is committed to the proper utilisation of the vaccines donated by the Town Health Charity Foundation to effectively support vulnerable groups in need. Dr. Alan Koo Chung Wai, Vice Medical Director of Town Health, reminded the public not to underestimate the threat of pneumonia. Dr. Koo noted that, according to the latest statistics from the Department of Health, pneumonia is the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong. In 2024, pneumonia caused more than 11,000 deaths, second only to cancer and surpassing heart disease and cerebrovascular disease¹. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common cause of pneumonia, and over 100 serotypes have been identified². Vaccination is one of the most effective means of preventing pneumococcal disease. Dr. Wong Kam Cheung, Specialist in Respiratory Medicine, explained that pneumococci spreads through droplets or contact and has a short incubation period of around one to three days³. Early symptoms of pneumococcal pneumonia such as fever and cough often resemble influenza, leading to misdiagnosis. Co‑infection with influenza may also occur, increasing complexity in diagnostic and treatment. While pneumococci may cause milder illnesses such as otitis media or sinusitis, in high‑risk individuals it can lead to severe diseases such as invasive pneumonia, bacteraemia, sepsis, and meningitis3,4,5, with rapid deterioration that may be life‑threatening. Vaccination remains the most effective preventive measure which can significantly reduce the risk of invasive infections and severe outcomes3,4,5, and studies also show that it may lower the risk of heart attacks among high‑risk individuals⁶. Although antibiotics are the mainstream of treatment, antibiotic resistance made therapy increasing difficult³. Dr. Wong reiterated that “prevention takes precedence over treatment”, particularly in addressing pneumococcal infections. For details on the indications and usage of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, please consult your doctor. ~ Ends ~ About Town Health: Build Healthier Life and A Better Tomorrow Town Health International Medical Group Limited (Stock Code: 3886.HK) is one of the largest listed healthcare groups with the longest history in Hong Kong and it is one of the few local comprehensive medical institutions that provides healthcare services in both Hong Kong and the Mainland China.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 10/12/2025 / 15:59 UTC+8 Muscat, Oman - December 10, 2025 - (SeaPRwire) - Beyond ONE shares a surge in Oman's digital payments sector following the launch of its platform, Friendi Pay. The digital service, rolled out in May 2025, has spurred a 600% in digital payments and more than 800% growth in international remittances. Additionally, within this short timeframe, Friendi Pay has seen monthly transaction volumes expand from thousands to tens of thousands, with the value of domestic transfers climbing by over 360% to nearly one million Omani rials. The platform's onboarding rate has also improved by 55%, signaling a shift in how Omani residents and expatriates manage their finances both at home and abroad, and demonstrating the widespread appeal of trustworthy, transparent, and easy-to-use digital finance solutions.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 10/12/2025 / 10:16 UTC+8 LEEDS, UK - December 10, 2025 - (SeaPRwire) - Pharaoh Capital, a Leeds-based renewable energy investment group, has introduced a new zero-capital commercial solar deployment model through its subsidiaries INICIO and Solar4Business, enabling British enterprises to install large-scale rooftop solar systems without upfront expenditure. By fully funding, managing, and delivering installations on behalf of clients, Pharaoh Capital is removing one of the primary barriers to renewable energy adoption across the UK’s industrial, commercial, and real estate sectors. Founded in 2022 by Grant Nicholson, Pharaoh Capital operates on a fundamentally different premise than established market players. Rather than requiring businesses to finance solar installations upfront, the group's subsidiaries INICIO and Solar4Business assume all capital risk, project management, and installation responsibilities. Clients sign long-term Power Purchase Agreements at fixed rates that immediately undercut existing electricity bills, delivering energy cost reductions of 30 to 40 percent with zero balance sheet impact. "The sector is full of cowboys or corporates so slow they move like treacle," Nicholson explains. "Through INICIO and Solar4Business, we deliver enterprise-grade projects with SME-level speed, turning around installations in under eight weeks from site assessment to switch-on." The subsidiaries target solar installations between £250,000 and £5 million per site, funded entirely through private capital managed by the Pharaoh Capital holding company. Clients including CBRE, Yodel, and the NHS have benefited from the streamlined approach delivered by INICIO and Solar4Business, avoiding maintenance burdens and asset ownership complexities while securing predictable energy pricing. Nicholson's entrepreneurial achievements have garnered industry recognition, including the European Entrepreneur of the Year designation from Aspioneer Magazine in 2024 and the Institute of Directors' Young Director of the Year award for Yorkshire and North East in 2020. Pharaoh Capital now targets deploying £100 million in debt financing through its operational subsidiaries directly into revenue-generating, long-term agreements that simultaneously reduce client costs and strengthen the group's profit-and-loss statement through predictable cash flows. For UK industrial operators, landlords, and commercial real estate leaders seeking to reduce energy expenditure while advancing ESG objectives, Pharaoh Capital and its subsidiaries INICIO and Solar4Business represent a pragmatic alternative to traditional energy providers. About Pharaoh Capital Limited Established in 2022 and headquartered in Leeds, Pharaoh Capital Limited operates as a specialist investment and holding company targeting the UK energy and renewables sector. Through its operational subsidiaries INICIO and Solar4Business, the group has built a substantial commercial solar portfolio by funding and managing installations that deliver immediate client savings while generating reliable investor returns. Pharaoh Capital's subsidiaries have served 175 commercial clients without requiring government subsidies or external equity financing. Grant Nicholson, the group's founder, previously won the Institute of Directors Yorkshire Young Director Award and has been recognized for his contributions to sustainable business energy solutions. The parent company's revenue milestone represents approximately 25% progress toward Nicholson's ambitious £100 million deployment target for scaling renewable energy infrastructure across the UK through INICIO and Solar4Business.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 10/12/2025 / 10:08 UTC+8 London, UK - December 10, 2025 - (SeaPRwire) - Responding to surging demand for advanced finance education, the International Faculty of Finance (IFF) has introduced a new scholarship initiative aimed at widening access for self-funded professionals. Open until the end of December, the scheme offers partial scholarships across IFF’s full portfolio of public courses, spanning sustainable investing, digital risk, and the use of new technologies in finance. Demand for specialized finance education is surging, prompting IFF to offer new scholarships and develop training tailored to modern technology and emerging sustainability requirements. Professional training providers are experiencing a sharp rise in demand for advanced finance courses, as artificial intelligence and sustainable investing rapidly reshape global markets and regulatory demands. The International Faculty of Finance (IFF) reports nearly a 40 percent increase in enrolments for related programs over the past year, a signal of the accelerating rate at which financial skills must be updated as technology and standards progress. Ted Bailey, Director at IFF, notes, "The people driving the next phase of the industry aren't necessarily those with the longest careers behind them. They're the ones adapting fastest to new realities. Whether that's integrating ESG principles into financial analysis or understanding how AI models reshape decision-making. We want to open doors for individuals investing in themselves, but also support those in organisations who are taking ownership of their own progression." This change in training priorities is viewed as structural, not cyclical. Research, including a recent PwC CEO survey, shows that almost seventy percent of financial leaders anticipate that technology will require fresh skill sets across most roles, while evolving sustainability standards have expanded the technical remit of finance teams. The combination of these forces has created urgent demand for both broader conceptual understanding and direct application in daily practice. IFF's expanded course portfolio is built to address these needs. While maintaining strong offerings in established topics like risk management and asset valuation, IFF now includes programs focused on integrating technology-driven insights into portfolio construction and turning ESG data into actionable disclosure frameworks. "A risk professional who once focused on credit exposure now needs fluency in AI governance. An analyst covering renewables must understand both project finance and climate data. The lines have blurred, and that's where learning has to keep pace," Bailey explains. The scholarship program also reflects a broader movement toward lifelong learning among professionals. Studies by McKinsey and Deloitte show that employees who pursue development aligned with emerging technology and sustainability trends are more likely to progress, even in challenging markets. For those in mid-career, cost can be a significant barrier, and IFF's initiative aims to help overcome that challenge. Based in London, IFF serves the global finance community, providing courses for professionals working in banking, investment, and regulation worldwide. Its reputation for practical, outcome-focused learning, from accredited university courses to expert-led workshops, supports its quick response to changes in market demand. Bailey summarizes, "The pace of change in finance means learning can't be a static exercise. Our role is to make it attainable, relevant, and grounded in the realities of the profession." The new scholarships not only broaden access to training but reinforce IFF's commitment to supporting individuals and institutions that recognize continuous learning as the key to future performance and resilience. IFF is part of Informa, a London-based global leader in professional education and events, supporting continuous learning and capability development across industries. About International Faculty of Finance The International Faculty of Finance (IFF) is a global leader in executive-level banking and finance education, offering a comprehensive portfolio of expert-led training across Governance, Risk & Compliance; Corporate Finance; FinTech; Wealth & Investment Management; Project Finance & Infrastructure; and more.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 03/12/2025 / 09:00 UTC+8 Launching in Macao on December 1, covering over 1,000 merchants, with MOP3 off the first transaction to kick‑start a new “Tap to Pay” experience. Macau Pass, in partnership with Alipay, officially launches MPay Tap! service across Macao on December 1, 2025, delivering a seamless “Tap to Pay” experience for residents. The roll-out marks a new milestone for the city’s mobile payment ecosystem, opening fresh access for localized digital services while boosting retail consumption and accelerating merchants’ digital transformation, committed to driving the growth of Macao’s digital economy and smart city initiatives together. No app launch in advance required: users simply unlock their phone and tap the Alipay Tap! terminal to pay— with a faster, smoother transaction flow. Upgraded Payment Experience, Enjoy Macao Effortlessly with “Tap to Pay” Originally launched by Alipay in Chinese Mainland in July 2024, the Alipay Tap! service leverages near-field communication (NFC) and barcode payment technologies. Users can pay by tapping their unlocked phone on the Alipay Tap! terminal, skipping the need to open the app in advance. Since launching, the service has rapidly gained traction, reaching over 200million users in just over a year and expanding to more than 400 cities, 5,000 brands and millions of retail outlets nationwide. Leveraging the Alipay Tap! technology, MPay delivers the same seamless experience with MPay Tap! — ready for instant use once enabled, with just one tap to pay. At checkout, users no longer need to search for a QR code or interrupt ongoing activity on the phone, making the process even smoother than traditional scan‑to‑pay methods. The device must be unlocked before the payment can be processed to ensure security. To drive adoption, Macau Pass and Alipay are launching an introductory promotion running until the end of the year. Customers will enjoy an instant MOP3 off their first MPay Tap! transaction each day. Discounts will be available daily throughout the month, applicable to high‑frequency spending scenarios such as shopping and dining. Gavin Zhao, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Macau Pass said: “The Macao SAR government’s commitment to innovation and smart-city development has provided fertile ground for technologies like MPay Tap!. As a leading local digital services provider, Macau Pass is dedicated to enhancing user experience through technological and service innovation. This launch is the result of close collaboration with Alipay and ecosystem partners, and we aim to extend the service in Macao, further integrate terminals, benefits, and membership systems to support merchants in their digital transformation, and inject fresh momentum into Macao’s smart living vision and community economy.” Driving Merchant Digital Transformation Amid Strong Market Response Macau Pass, in partnership with Alipay, first introduced Alipay Tap! in January 2025 at The Venetian® Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Londoner® Macao, owned by Sands China. Since then, the service has expanded to more than 1,000 merchants city-wide, covering restaurants, supermarkets, department stores and popular tourist areas including the Ruins of Saint Paul's, Rua do Cunha and Portas do Cerco. For merchants, Alipay Tap! terminal devices can significantly boost operational efficiency. Merchants no longer need to use a QR code scanner, streamlining the checkout process. A single payment terminal supports Alipay Tap! alongside conventional QR scan payments, catering to both residents and visitors. The terminals also support over 10 international digital wallets — including WeChat Pay, Hong Kong Octopus, Italy’s Tinaba, Singapore’s Changi Pay and South Korea’s NAVER Pay — aligning with Macao’s role as a global tourism hub. Merchants can also redeem mCoin and mPass coupons directly on the same device, creating an integrated “pay-and-redeem” solution to enhance efficiency. In partnership with Alipay, Macau Pass is extending targeted subsidies and incentive programs to help small and medium-sized enterprises boost sales and adopt digital tools. Merchant feedback highlights faster checkout speeds and shorter queues during peak hours, enhancing the overall customer experience. Deepening the integration of “Tap and Beyond” scenarios to create a new vision for smart living Beyond enhancing payments, MPay Tap! is positioned as a gateway to digital merchant operations. Future iterations aim to integrate services such as food ordering, membership management and rewards programs, creating a comprehensive ecosystem for everyday living. Jiajia Li, Vice President, Co-President of Payment Business Group at Ant Group stated: “Alipay Tap! brings together new experiences, innovative business and advanced technology in one service. Working with Macau Pass, we’re excited to bring these benefits to residents and merchants in Macao. As the service expands into more scenarios, it will strengthen digital connectivity across the Greater Bay Area, becoming a vital link in the region’s integrated development.” 03/12/2025 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com
