Cairo, Egypt — Ekhbary News Agency

Foreign and Arab Investors Show Net Selling

Conversely, foreign investors represented only 8.0% of the total transactions, while Arab investors made up 5.0%. This clear disparity underscores the strong influence of domestic capital within the market. For what it's worth, both foreign and Arab participants recorded net selling, with foreigners divesting EGP 1,423.9 million and Arabs EGP 821.2 million during the specified period. This trend suggests a strategic reallocation of assets by non-local entities.
