A valuation of the company should be completed in October as the company prepares to go public in the coming months, Sarhan told <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2019\/09\/09\/1242708\">the local press<\/a>. Sarhan had previously estimated that the IPO would see the sale of 15% of the company\u2019s shares on the EGX, but told the newspaper yesterday that the size is still subject to decisions by the lead advisors.<\/p>\n<p><b>Does this mean wave two of the privatization program was not postponed? <\/b>Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik told us <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/01\/wave-two-of-egypts-state-privatization-program-kicked-to-early-2020\/\">late last month<\/a> that the second wave of the state privatization program, which includes e-Finance\u2019s IPO, has been postponed to after January 2020.
