Mubasher International for Securities was the tenth largest company with operations worth EGP 1.4bn equivalent to 2.1% of the market. Amer Abdel-Qader, head of brokerage sector at Pioneers Holding, said he expects the stock market to change in the second half of the year as a result of a global correction movement in the markets, both locally and abroad. This is expected to attract a large purchasing power from foreign investors, motivated by the idea that history repeats itself, similarly to the recovery of the stock exchange in 2009. He added that Pioneers is working on a marketing plan for individual and corporate sectors to maximise profitability and acquire a larger market share, in conjunction with the publicity campaign launched by the Egyptian Exchange, saying “crises create wealth.” Abdel-Qader pointed out that the company implemented over-the-counter (OTC) operations for EGP 20m last month, however, they had no impact on its ranking throughout the month. He added that the company is trying to maintain its ranking inside the market, especially in such difficult circumstances.
