Cairo – Mubasher: The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) will close on Thursday, 6 January, on the occasion of the 2022 Coptic Christmas holiday.
Trading will resume on Sunday, 9 January, EGX said in a statement on Tuesday. Banks, as well, will be closed on Thursday and resume work on Sunday upon the Central Bank of Egypt’s (CBE) decision.
