Banque du Caire IPO on Egyptian Exchange

Overview

Banque du Caire has announced plans to launch an initial public offering (IPO) on the Egyptian Exchange, involving the sale of 30% of its capital. The offering consists of approximately 4.575 billion existing shares held by the majority shareholder, Banque Misr, rather than a capital increase to fund the bank directly. Valuations for the bank have been estimated between EGP 75 billion and EGP 80.5 billion, with the transaction expected to be worth approximately EGP 24 billion (roughly $455 million to $460 million). The process is intended to include a private placement for qualified institutional investors—including those in the United States under Rule 144A—and a public offering for retail investors in Egypt. The Financial Regulatory Authority has since approved the prospectus for the offering, which is part of a state program to expand private sector participation and implement government divestment plans. While the initial plan involves 30% of the bank's capital, there is a possibility of increasing the stake to 45%. The sale will be conducted via a secondary offering, with 95% of the shares allocated to private placements for qualified investors and 5% for a public offering. The indicative price range is set between 4.82 and 5.30 Egyptian pounds per share, bringing the total estimated value of the offering to approximately 24.25 billion Egyptian pounds. As of October 18, 2026, the subscription process has commenced. Subscription orders for qualified investors are scheduled from October 19 to October 23, 2026, while retail subscriptions are set to continue through October 28. The final price will be determined by October 26 following a book-building process. CI Capital and EFG Hermes are serving as joint global coordinators and bookrunners. Trading on the Egyptian Exchange is expected to begin in November 2026.
