B Investments Holding (BINV: -0.78% | 22.80 -0.18) has secured board approval to invest $3 million in Basata Holding for Financial Payments and its subsidiaries. The funds will fuel Basata’s regional growth strategy, per a recent bourse disclosure. Notably, the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) greenlit B Investments’ 90% acquisition of Orascom Financial Holding (OFH) earlier this year. Despite these moves, the firm reported a 38% year-on-year drop in consolidated net profits after tax to EGP 619.44 million for the first nine months of 2023, down from EGP 998.92 million.
