The company’s chairman, Hany El Assal, told Al Mal in July that the IPO could kick off in the first half of the year. He said at the time his company is expecting to raise EGP 2 bn from the listing and will use the proceeds to finance ongoing projects, including the EGP 20 bn Il Busco and EGP 10 bn Vinci compounds in the new capital.
