Banque Misr contributed about to EGP 9.5bn of those loans, of which the bank retained a final share of EGP 8.7bn.
According to the statement, the bank arranges similar loans as part of its role as one of the leading national banks in the Egyptian banking sector and in light of the extensive marketing plans pursued by the bank to attract clients and new financing operations.

Banque Misr participated with the Ministry of Local Development in the "Mashor3ak" Project to finance small and micro enterprises through the one-stop shop at 304 local units deployed throughout Egypt.
Banque Misr is found in 268 local units, through which it granted loans of about EGP 48m to 1,848 owners of small and micro projects from 26 March to 30 June.
With respect to the Islamic banking sector, the credit portfolio directed to this sector rose to EGP 3.1bn in June 2015 compared to EGP 1.9bn in June 2014.
According to the statement, the bank has participated in financing Egyptian Electricity Holding Company for the implementation of the emergency plan in the summer of 2015.

The bank also contributed EGP 300m in another Islamic financing that was granted to establish a billet and steel factory in Ain Sukhna.
In terms of Islamic retail banking activity, Banque Misr's Islamic Transactions Unit, "Kenana", offers a diverse range of products, including Islamic credit cards, resale for profit ("Murabha"), and different micro enterprises financing products.
