Egypt - Egyptian Kuwaiti Holding (EKH) will invest about $500 million in the next five years, at $100 million yearly, EKH’s CEO Sherif El-Zayat said to Al Mal.

The $300-million investment plan announced earlier is about to finalize by the end of 2021, Zayat said.

EKH applied for a license, to the Financial Regulatory Authority, to establish a microfinancing entity under the name of Bedayti.
