Amer Abdel Qader — Head of the Brokerage Sector for Development at Pioneers Securities — said that the market witnessed large sales by foreigners that exceeded EGP 2bn, pointing out that the turmoil affected all markets, not only the Egyptian market.
He also pointed out that the return of foreigners to the Egyptian market is linked to raising interest rates, and that they will be in the debt markets more than in the stock market, especially since the American market is currently very attractive.

He also expects a trading boom in the financial market in the coming period after the return of local institutions with purchasing power to save the market.
