“Challenges remain but the bold resolution of the currency crisis in 2016 has led not only to an upsurge of interest from equity investors but a triumphant return to the debt markets,” the world’s leading organizer of conferences said.

The conference, which started taking place in Cairo since 1995, will tackle direct investment in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the real estate sectors, international public offerings (IPOs), equity markets and debt issuance at sovereign and corporate levels.
