The Egyptian Islamic bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), announced it has increased the share capital of its consumer finance subsidiary from EGP10 million to EGP30 million (about $635,000 to $1.9 million).
Daily News Egypt, which relayed the information, reported that Abu Dhabi Islamic Consumer Finance's (ADI-CF) capital strengthening deal was pre-approved by the bank's board last November. It comes three months after the launch of its operations in Egypt, following the approval of the sector regulator.
