Arab and foreign institutions were net buyers recording LE8.45 million and LE7.20 million respectively while local institutions closed as net sellers at a net flow of LE12.25 million.
 
The real estate sector led the market in terms of turnover recording LE159.71 million, representing 33.45 percent of total market’s activities.
