There is a strong trend to postpone offering a proportion of Banque Du Caire S.A.E. shares on the stock market until the first quarter of 2018, instead of the second quarter in the current year as planned, to be more consistent with the market conditions given interest rate hikes over the past two months, sources told Al Mal newspaper. Al Mal newspaper reported earlier that Banque du Caire's IPO plan includes partial exit by the government from the bank's shareholding concurrently with capital increase, according to sources, adding the amount of increase has not been decided on so far. HSBC Holdings plc( LSe:HSBA)/EFG Hermes Holding S.A.E. (CASE:HRHO) consortium won a bid to act as the financial advisor to offering Banque du Caire on the Egyptian Exchange.
