This ambitious plan builds on the Bank\u2019s existing operational reach, including its 100% stake in Cairo Bank Uganda (CBU), a commercial bank that has been operating in Uganda since 1995. CBU Uganda serves a vast growing customer base through, its strong relationships with both Ugandan and Egyptian businesses has played a pivotal role facilitating the growing volume of investment between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Benedict Oramah, President of Afreximbank, said:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBanque Du Caire is a key champion of intra-African trade and investment, facilitating Egyptian engagement with the rest of the continent.
