The board of directors of the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) approved the appointment of Hala Sakr, managing director of Barclays Bank Egypt, to the board of directors as a representative of the Federation of Egyptian Banks.
Sakr joined the Federation of Egyptian Banks in March as the first woman to become a member of the board of the federation. She is replacing Amr Tantawi, managing director at Misr Iran Development Bank (MIDB), who previously represented the federation in the EGX but recently left it.
Sakr officially started her work as managing director of Barclays Egypt at the beginning of January, becoming the first woman to hold the position.
