The meeting reviewed the growth opportunities that can be available by listing in the stock market, whether the increase in capitals, or the issuing of bonds, as well as other advantages such as the daily pricing for the company’s value. Opportunities to involve new partners can be available as well, which can contribute to increasing the business size, and consequently profits.

Omran added that EGX mainly helps companies to expand and grow by allowing the required funds to flow. He asserted that the IT sector is one of the promising sectors in the Egyptian economy, and can achieve a tangible economic leap if the opportunities are sought after.
He explained also that the Nile Stock Exchange allows a suitable climate for promising companies to achieve high growth rates, as the companies will be opened to local and foreign investments willing to catch the opportunities available by promising companies.
