He told Amwal Al Ghad that the Egyptian market is currently witnessing a state of gradually increasing growth, until it achieved the rates reached before floating the exchange rate in November 2016.

Automobile Marketing Information Council seeks to increase car sales to 500,000 by 2020, Hosny who is the council spokesman added.
