The Egyptian bourse witnessed an improvement in activities over FY 2014/2015. Over 20 companies were listed on the EGX with over EGP 5bn in capital since May 2014, according to EGX Chairman Mohamed Omran. The surge was followed by the first initial public offering (IPO) held after the 25 January Revolution by leading cement producer Arabian Cement.
Ordinary shares of Egyptian snacks company Edita Food Industries SAE started trading in early April. In parallel, trading of global depositary receipts (GDRs), each representing five ordinary shares, also began on the London Stock Exchange (LSE).
Another leading company announcing its stock market listing this year was the Egyptian arm of UAE-based real estate developer Emaar Misr. The IPO will encompass an offering of up to 600m shares, representing 13% of the company's post-offer share capital, the company noted.
In early March, the EGX also approved Orascom Construction's (OC) EGX listings, with capital amounting to $105m. In November 2014, the company announced that it will obtain an IPO in 2015.
Leading automotive assembler and distributor Ghabbour Auto (GB Auto) also submitted a request to the EGX this year. This was to increase the company's capital by approximately EGP 960m, through issuing 960m shares at a value of EGP 1 per share.
In November 2014, the Sixth of October Development and Investment Company (SODIC) announced it had raised EGP 993m through a capital increase offered to existing shareholders, from EGP 362.7m to EGP 1.35bn.
Real estate firm Mountain View is also considering listing shares on EGX, although not before 2017, according to CEO Ayman Soliman.
In 2005, only three companies had IPOs, amounting to EGP 7.6bn. That number surged to 22 companies in 2006; however, the offerings amounted to EGP 3.7bn. In 2007, 20 companies were listed, totalling EGP 21.4bn, whilst in 2008, the amount of offerings for 24 companies was EGP 6.4bn.

Listings surged in 2012 to total 11 companies and a value of EGP 2.5bn, only to drop in 2013, with nine companies entering the stock market with a total value of EGP 0.2bn.
