Hyper One Group studies pumping EGP 650 million new investments during the coming 3 years, for constructing 3 new branches in Cairo governorate.
The Group chairman, Mohamed El Hawary, told Amwal Al Ghad that Egyptian market is open to new investments, and it receives more commercial branches which serve Egyptian consumer; especially after sharpening the competition between them and retreating the prices.
