Egyptian businessman Hisham Talaat Moustafa, the billionaire head of Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) Holding, is experiencing new financial difficulties. This comes after his net worth plummeted by $727 million between March 6 and 9, as a result of the Egyptian pound’s devaluation.
The market value of Hisham Talaat Moustafa’s holding in TMG has fallen by EGP8.53 billion ($180.19 million) in the last 26 days, owing to continued selling pressure on the Egyptian Exchange’s top group’s shares.
