Moroccan private equity firm Fipar Holding plans to raise around 2 billion dirhams in an initial public share offer this year, which would be the Casablanca bourse's biggest new share listing since 2008, sources familiar with the matter said on Monday.
Fipar's main assets include a 17 percent stake in Morocco's second biggest telecoms operator Medi Telecom, a 30 percent stake in the firm managing the country's biggest port in Tangier and a 20 percent stake in Lydec, the biggest private utility firm.
"The IPO had initially been scheduled for 2011 but it had to be delayed to 2012," said one of the sources. "It should be for the amount of 2 billion dirhams which will be used to fund future investment by Fipar," the person added.
