Cairo’s Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has approved Emaar Misr for Development’s plan to increase its issued capital by EGP 3.19 billion, paving the way for acquisitions of Albro North Coast for Developments and Skytower for Real Estate Development. Shareholders of Albro North Coast endorsed a preliminary non-binding offer for a 75% stake via share swap, while Skytower’s acquisition includes an initial 25% cash purchase with options to secure full ownership. The capital injection will allocate shares to both firms, reinforcing Emaar Misr’s expansion. Q1 2024 saw the company’s net profit surge to EGP 5.73 billion, up from EGP 2.22 billion in Q1-23.
