The initial public offering will entail the secondary sale of 320 million existing shares out of the Egyptian entity's 1.6 billion total issued shares, trading under the ticker **HALN.CA**. The transaction follows a June funding round led by [Al Ahly Capital](https://www.linkedin.com/company/alahly-capital-holding/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) that valued the wider [MNT-Halan](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mnt-halan/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) group at **$1.4 billion**. [EFG Hermes](https://www.linkedin.com/company/efgholding/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) and [Citigroup](https://www.linkedin.com/company/citi/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) are serving as joint global coordinators and bookrunners for the transaction. ## The Morning Briefing We deliver daily breakdown of dealmaking, capital flows, and market insights across Africa.

Following the completion of the public tranche, the parent company will execute a primary capital increase of up to **EGP 4 billion** (approximately **$82.7 million**) at the final IPO price, reinvesting new equity directly back into the listed Egyptian operating subsidiary. Additionally, MNT Tech Holding will allocate 24.3 million shares to senior management prior to the commencement of public trading. The public offering covers [MNT-Halan](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mnt-halan/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com)’s Egyptian operations exclusively, while international entities across Pakistan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates will remain held under the private parent structure. ## Market Position and Non-Bank Lending Scale Co-founded by Chief Executive Officer **Mounir Nakhla** and Chief Technology Officer **Ahmed Mohsen**, [MNT-Halan](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mnt-halan/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) has established itself as Egypt's largest non-bank financial institution. The enterprise holds a 24.3% market share in non-bank microfinance by loan book value and controls 14% of annual non-bank consumer finance disbursements nationwide. As of mid-2026, the company reported 1.9 million active customers and a gross loan book of **EGP 46.7 billion**(approximately **$966 million**). Since its inception, the platform's proprietary technology ecosystem, spanning digital micro-loans, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) consumer credit, e-commerce, and digital wallets, has disbursed more than **$15.5 billion** in cumulative credit to over 8 million individual and micro-business clients. ## Testing Foreign Institutional Liquidity and Regulatory Capital The transaction serves as a crucial benchmark for foreign capital inflows on the Egyptian Exchange. While the benchmark EGX30 index has gained over 26% year-to-date, foreign portfolio investors have remained net sellers across Cairo equity markets. [MNT-Halan](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mnt-halan/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com)’s listing is expected to gauge international demand ahead of planned state-backed market flotations, including [Banque du Caire](https://www.linkedin.com/company/bdcegypt/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) and [Misr Life Insurance](https://www.linkedin.com/company/misrlifeinsurance/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com). Under [Egyptian Exchange](https://www.linkedin.com/company/egyptian-exchange-egx/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) regulations, shareholders maintaining a stake of 10% or greater at the time of listing are subject to a two-year lock-up requirement covering at least 51% of their holding. The influx of fresh equity from the secondary reinvestment will support [MNT-Halan](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mnt-halan/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com)'s strategic expansion plans, including product diversification, AI-driven credit scoring efficiency, and regulatory capital compliance under tightened [Central Bank of Egypt](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cbe/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) and [Financial Regulatory Authority](https://www.linkedin.com/company/financial-regulatory-authority-fra/home/?ref=africainvestorreview.com) consumer lending rules. --- ### The Intelligence Engine for African Private Capital Access complete transaction breakdowns, fund strategy updates, and market commentary directly on our platform.
