Oasis Capital Egypt, worth $150 million (Dh550.5 million), is a joint partnership between Al Futtaim (30 per cent), Naguib Sawiris of Orascom Telecom (40 per cent) and Lubna Olayan of Olayan Financing Company (30 per cent). This is the first time that an alliance between three such dominant corporations takes place in Egypt.
Targeting investment figures in the range of $ 25-35 million (Dh91.75-128.45 million), the forthcoming company will seek majority stake ownership in companies that are located throughout Egypt with the goal of investing in those that have not yet realised their full potential.
"Oasis Capital Egypt is an initiative that reflects on our confidence in the future of the economic development of Egypt," commented Francois de Mountaudoin, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Holding.
"Our partnership with Orascom Telecom and Olayan Financing Company will create an opportunity for us to increase our competitiveness, fuel further growth in the region, and enable us to continue to enhance our reputation as one of the most successful businesses in the Middle East."
