The move to streamline operations comes after Banque Misr <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/27ab4605-69a3-4180-8859-c884a3a6492e\">purchased on Thursday<\/a> an additional 9% stake in CI, making it the largest shareholder in the EGX-listed investment bank and a stake north of 24%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was BM\u2019s new stake purchase the exit of Rashid Mohamed Rashid from CI?<\/strong> Former Trade Minister Rashid Mohamed Rashid\u2019s Global Holding reportedly exited CI Capital and offloaded its 9% stake in CI Capital to Banque Misr, <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/344esj3\">Hapi Journal<\/a> reports, citing unnamed sources familiar with the agreement. The sale was reportedly closed for a total of EGP 377.1 mn at EGP 3.95 per share.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advisors:<\/strong> <strong>CI Capital Securities Brokerage<\/strong> executed the transaction and <strong>Zulficar & Partners<\/strong> were legal advisors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is the second time in as many months that state and private-sector players have partnered up <\/strong>to look for opportunity in financial services.
