National Printing Company debuts on EGX with EGP 450 M offering

The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) announced the commencement of trading on the shares of National Printing Company (ticker: NAPR.CA) on Tuesday, following the successful execution of the company’s public and private share offering. The move comes as part of the state’s efforts to strengthen the role of the capital market in driving sustainable economic growth, through cooperation among all market stakeholders.

The EGX reported that a total of 21,171,040 shares were sold during the offering, allocated to 3,359 investors, with a total value of approximately EGP 450 million.

Ahmed El-Sheikh, Chairman of the EGX, stated that the listing supports the exchange’s strategy to encourage new listings, expand the number of listed companies, and diversify the sectors represented on the market. These efforts aim to enhance the market’s appeal to both local and international investors, in line with listing regulations and offering prospectuses approved by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA).

El-Sheikh emphasized that the debut of a new company on the exchange reflects rising investor confidence in the government’s economic policies and the strength of Egypt’s capital market. He described the development as a key step toward deepening the market and broadening the investor base, which will help attract additional local and foreign investment.

The EGX Chairman also expressed hope that this move would serve as an incentive for more companies to list on the EGX and benefit from the advantages of being publicly traded.

The government views this growing investor confidence as the result of its comprehensive and ongoing reform efforts, and the supportive, investment-friendly environment it continues to provide.

Egypt’s capital market is regarded as one of the key pillars of the state’s vision to achieve inclusive and sustainable development in the coming phase.
