Atef Ebeid, AIB chairman said the bank would coordinate the loan provided by a group of eight banks to finance the holding company’s scheme. The other seven banks in the group include Societe Arabe Internationale de Banque, Egyptian Saudi Finance Bank, Piraeus Bank, United Bank of Egypt, National Bank for Development, the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, and Audi Bank.
