Dangote Refinery Expands $1.6 Billion IPO to Egypt
Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE is expanding its $1.6 billion initial public offering (IPO) into Egypt to attract more African investors. This development was disclosed on October 15, 2026, by Rehab Sallam, Head of International Relations at the Egyptian Exchange, during a strategic investment engagement with Dangote Industries Limited executives.
The discussions aim to create an Egyptian depositary receipt programme, enabling eligible investors in Egypt to invest in shares of the Lagos-based refinery. Similar arrangements are being pursued in Kenya and Botswana.
Dangote Group is focusing on African investors for its IPO, which is part of a broader strategy to enhance regional participation and strengthen investment connections across African capital markets. The IPO application period has been extended by two weeks, moving the closing date from October 13 to October 27, 2026, to allow prospective investors more time to meet regulatory requirements.
