Ayman El Sawy, Managing Director of Sarwa Promoting and Underwriting, said that the closure of the
transaction immediately following the recent EGP 2bn issue during the second quarter, in fluctuating market conditions, is a sign that the firm managed to attract strong interest and a larger investment base, adding that the bonds have attracted the highest ratings on the back of Sarwa´s unique structuring know-how and the sustained credit quality of Contact´s portfolios.
This issue marks the 28th by Sarwa Capital totalling over EGP 14bn to date. Sarwa is
the leading issuer of bonds in the market, the first issuer of securitisation bonds and the first to issue bonds backed by real estate receivables.
