This was after trading in 169 listed securities; 15 declined, 133 advanced; while 21 keeping their previous levels.
The non-Arab foreigners have backed EGX's closing gains as they were net buyers seizing 31.62% of the total markets, with a net equity of EGP 22.079 million excluding the deals.

Algerian newspaper Al-Shrouk reported on Thursday that an agreement is about to be signed within the upcoming week between VimpelCom Ltd. (VIP) and the Algerian government in order to end the prolonged dispute over Orascom Telecom Holding's Djezzy,
The Russian telecommunications company VimpelCom Ltd. (VIP) said it has managed to devise a new formula for coordination with the Algerian authorities noting that OTH's efforts have reached a deadlock to solve the disputes over Orascom Telecom Algerie (OTA) ‘Djezzy', the newspaper added.

El Mallawany has attributed the delay in concluding the takeover deal to the unstable situation of the Egyptian market along with to the lateness for obtaining the governmental as well as the regulatory approvals necessary for the deal completion.
“All the required approvals to conclude the tie-up are on the way." El Mallawany noted
Furthermore, Orascom Construction Industries – OCI (OCIC.CA)'s stock rose by 0.84% to EGP 249.58.
Workers at OCI have staged a sit-in on Wednesday morning outside the company's head office in Corniche El Nil to express their opposition to the government's arbitrary actions against OCI including the travel ban decree and the tax dues of over EGP 14.7 billion.
The workers said their sit-in is neither against the state nor the government but it is to represent their rejection to the arbitrary actions taken against the OCI.
Later on Wednesday, OCI N.V.'s subsidiary, Orascom Construction Industries, announced that it has received notification from the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) to discuss the alleged tax claim against the Company on Sunday 10 March 2013. The Tax Authority confirmed on Thursday its keenness to reconcile with OCI through reaching a compromise.
