He added that EFG-Hermes Research has over 150 listed companies, accounting for about 63 percent of the market capitalization in the Middle East and North Africa. The research team analyzes 11 economies from the macro perspective to ensure the accuracy of the economic evaluations, as well as classifying the top 20 stocks in the MENA region in terms of the expected 12-month performance (MENA Top 20).
EFG-Hermes said in a statement that it has managed to maintain its high rankings as a research center in the Middle East despite the growing competition, vowing to continue to provide the best research and products.
