Iraq projects boost TMG stock on the exchange

Talaat Moustafa Holding Group (TMG) shares surged on Sunday at the opening of the Egyptian stock exchange's trading week.

Informed sources recently disclosed that TMG Holding is actively exploring the legal and technical requirements for undertaking several projects in Iraq. These sources further indicated that TMG will unveil the specific details of these projects once the related executive procedures are initiated.
