The New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) did not officially notify TMG Holding that it would stop granting the company building licenses for Madinaty, TMG claimed in a statement. Earlier Al Shorouk had reported that the NUCA stopped granting licenses to TMG following a previously filed lawsuit against NUCA requesting the company be allowed to pay lower-than-agreed-upon interest in the EGP 2.9 bn settlement deal announced in February 2015.
