Staff Writer

According to Daily News Egypt, Banque du Caire has been authorised to list 562.5 million shares in the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) with an initial capital of EGP 2.25 billion. This comes about following a statement released last year by the governor of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), Tarek Amer, who noted that the CBE will offer Banque du Caire EGX listings in order to increase its capital by 20%.

This Initial Public Offering (IPO) works as part of a framework to bring public companies and banks onto the EGX, which, in turn, will gather around EGP 6-8 billion per year as a component of Egypt’s Economic Reform Program.

This is the first time ever that Banque du Caire's shares will be traded in EGX.
