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.
