EFG Holding today announced the successful completion of a capital increase at Bank NXT, executed at par value with full participation from all shareholders. The total capital increase amounted to EGP 4.2 billion, to which EFG Holding contributed EGP 2.143 billion.

Already at a Stage 3 coverage of 192.9%, this capital increase will position the bank strongly for its next phase of growth. This step not only cements Bank NXT’s positioning within the Group’s long-term strategy but should also continue to fuel future growth in the Group’s overall profitability.”
