Egyptian bourse becomes Arabian star

True, the Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchange has markedly underperformed MSCI Barra’s Emerging Markets Index, which has gained nearly 70 per cent over the past 12 months. But, compared with the Gulf markets, the Case has provided a relatively comfortable ride.

It is the best performer of all Arab stock markets over the past 12 months. The Egyptian market has produced a 28 per cent gain compared with a 1.2 per cent rise in the MSCI Arabian Markets Index.

Hashem Montasser, head of asset management at investment bank EFG-Hermes in Dubai, says Cairo has long been on the investment horizon of large family groups and institutional investors in the Gulf. More recently, listed Egyptian companies have benefited from the comparative openness of their executives, which has been at a premium in the downturn.
