We have a flurry of IPO, M&A news and investment news<\/strong> to cap a fantastic week in which we\u2019ve already been inundated with \u2026 IPO, M&A and investment news. We can\u2019t think of a better way to start the weekend, so read on.<\/p>\n

<\/a> EGX Chairman Mohamed Farid discussed plans to attract investment to the Egyptian <\/strong>market at EFG Hermes\u2019 <\/strong>7th Annual London Conference<\/strong><\/a>. First and foremost, the macroeconomic climate speaks for itself and will play the major role in attracting investments, Farid said (pdf)<\/a>. He named tourism, ICT and construction as sectors of particular interest<\/strong> given their recent rebound. On improving liquidity and governance at the bourse, Farid pointed to measures including setting a minimum limit on number of shares companies must offer to be listed. \u201cIt\u2019s important for us to look at the quality of both companies and the disclosures which are presented to investors<\/strong>,\u201d he added. Diversifying the EGX through the listing of state-owned companies is expected to be an important draw for investors, he said. He also confirmed the exchange plans to introduce new products including derivatives and short-selling.<\/p>\n

Today the final day of the conference<\/strong>,which brought together 290 fund managers and institutional investors for meetings with 130 presenting companies, representing 10 industries and 20 countries.<\/p>\n

A 40-company delegation from the British Egyptian Business Association is also in the<\/strong>UK for Friday\u2019s MENA Britain Trade Expo<\/a>, where infrastructure, financial services, renewable energy, and oil will be in the limelight.<\/p>\n
