TMG Holding’s dominance in the real estate sector
Founded in 1974, TMG Holding has cemented its position as a leading force in Egypt’s real estate industry. Under the leadership of Hisham Talaat Moustafa, who holds a 43.16-percent stake in the company, equivalent to 890,633,483 ordinary shares, the conglomerate has witnessed exponential growth.
In the first quarter of 2024, TMG reaffirmed its dominance with record-breaking sales figures. Property sales surged by 206 percent, reaching EGP61.8 billion ($1.3 billion) in the first three months of the year. This growth is attributed to its successful expansion into Saudi Arabia, which generated over EGP 32 billion ($670.8 million) in sales within just 10 working days.
