Banque Misr to obtain the largest loan in its history

Bank Misr

The Egyptian Banque Misr intends to obtain the largest loan in its history, in light of a record turnout from banks to provide financing.

Banque Misr aims to obtain $1 billion from a syndicated loan, and is considered the second largest government bank in Egypt in terms of assets.

According to banking sources, Banque Misr will use the loan to repay an old financing that the bank obtained in December of 2018, about $550 million.

The sources pointed out that “the bank’s initial plan was to obtain the same amount of financing that it would have to pay back, but the bank later raised the size of the loan to $700 million amid a rush from banks to provide the joint loan.”

“Among the banks working on the deal: Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait, Emirates NBD, First Abu Dhabi Bank, and Standard Chartered as arrangers for the loan to be obtained,” the sources said.

In a related context, Banque Misr is considering granting a billion Egyptian pounds in financing to Amer Group, according to company sources.

The sources added that the loan that the company is seeking to obtain is directed to contribute to the financing of several real estate projects that it is developing in Port Said and Minya.
