El Rashad brokerage sold to Dubai’s Arqaam Capital

09 Jan 2012

(MENAFN) Dubai-based Arqaam Capital will acquire El Rashad Securities Brokerage from Al Rashad Holding to set a foot in the Egyptian market, Bloomberg reported.

Arqaam Capital seeks to benefit from a possible recovery in Egypt, after a year long political uprising which ousted President Hussni Mubarak.

Under the agreement Arqaam Capital will buy El Rashad’s business, operations and brokerage license.

Arqaam’s acquisition comes amid a decline in the number of brokers in the UAE, after regional instability and Europe’s debt crisis pushed the volume of shares traded in Dubai to a six-year low.
