The UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative (UN SSE) hailed Egypt's bourse efforts in field of sustainable development in the Middle East and North Africa.

In a statement Sunday, the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) said that the panel which was formed as part of the UN initiative on the sustainability of the bourses published effective communication models with the parties to the market for 11 stock exchanges topped by the EGX.

The EGX was chosen as a model to effectively communicate with market parties last February.

The UN SSE Initiative, founded in 2009, is co-organized by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), United Nations Environment
Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), United Nations Global Compact and UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
