Arab Finance: EFG Hermes, an EFG Holding company, concluded advisory on the listing of U Consume Finance (valU)  on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) under the ticker valu, according to a press release.

The listing was implemented through an innovative in-kind dividend distribution, where EFG Holding distributed 20.488% of Valu’s share capital to its shareholders, as of the record date, June 12th, 2025.
