The Clap
The Sovereign Fund of Egypt added 5 companies to the “Pre-IPO fund,” according to Asharq.
What
The companies are:
- Safi
- Watanya Petroleum Company
- Banque du Caire
- Misr Life Insurance
- Egyptian Linear Alkyl Benzene (ELAB)
The SFE added these companies to the Pre-IPO fund in order to sell 20%-30% stakes in them.
So What
This step means that the government is following the IMF’s plan to implement the government offerings program, which will bring Egypt a large inflow to pay off its debts.
Now What
During January 2023, the SFE will conduct a promotional tour to present investment opportunities in these companies.
