As for the Smart Village headquarters, it is designated for divisions of Senior Management (Chairman and Vice Chairman); disclosure and trading supervisory departments; information center; as well as financial, human resources and risks departments.

About the tender, the insurance policy for the EGX’s assets and premises is estimated to be with total sum insured of 245 million Egyptian pounds (US$33.8 million), sources with knowledge of the matter spoke to Amwal Al Ghad on Monday.

The sources further said the policy would secure insurance coverage for the EGX’s premises, offices, and cars against all risks.
