What happened
Banque du Caire, a state-owned Egyptian commercial bank, announced plans to list 30% of its shares on the Egyptian Exchange. The offering is a secondary sale of 4.575 billion existing shares held by Banque Misr, meaning the proceeds will go to Banque Misr, not Banque du Caire. Trading is expected to begin in November, pending approvals from the Financial Regulatory Authority and the exchange itself.
