The march comes as Egypt’s Stock Exchange (EGX)
Chairman Mohammed Omran rejected suggestions another closure could
occur if turmoil persists in the country. The EGX shut its doors for
almost two months on January 27, sparking outrage from both domestic and
foreign investors. The lengthy closure had also prompted MSCI to warn
that it may begin consultations to
cut Egypt from its Emerging Market Index . But Omran says that is now history.
“There
is no plan to halt the trading on the Egyptian Stock Exchange and this
is the only way to ensure investors that we keep operating normally even
during these difficult times,” Omran told CNBC in an interview late
Thursday.
