The state-owned bank had earlier announced a plan to sell a minority stake in an initial public offering (IPO) starting mid-April 2020 in a sale worth about $500 million, Reuters reported in March 2020.
Separately, the bank has more than tripled its portfolio of micro loans to reach 6 billion Egyptian pounds ($381.5 million), Fayed told Asharq Business.
