Egyptian stocks advanced for a second day. The main index headed for the highest close in more than a month, gaining 1.2 per cent to 4,987.31 points at 12:20pm in Cairo, after EFG-Hermes Holding and Qatar’s QInvest said they plan to create an investment bank.
Cairo-based EFG-Hermes said on May 4 it agreed with QInvest to start the venture that will be 60-per cent owned by the Qatari firm. QInvest, a unit of Qatar Islamic Bank, will invest $250 million.
EFG-Hermes shares were suspended by the bourse pending the release of more information. The Egyptian Exchange also cancelled all May 3 trades in the stock, without giving a reason. The shares are up 31 per cent this year, compared with a 38-per cent increase for the benchmark index.
