Egypt’s listed companies still poor in female representation at highest levels: Board Diversity Index 2020
Published 04 Feb,2021 via Daily News Egypt - More than half of Egypt’s listed companies have at least one member in their Board of Directors that is female, as of 31 July 2020, compared to 47% in 2019.
