The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has released its annual report for 2025, titled From Regulation to Empowerment, documenting what it described as unprecedented advances across Egypt’s non-banking financial activities. Mohamed Farid, Chairperson of the FRA, said 2025 represented a genuine turning point in beginning to reap the fruits of the authority’s reform policies implemented since 2022. Of the total, 63% related to financing activities, 28% to capital market transactions, and 9% to the insurance sector. Farid noted that Egypt’s capital market recorded a historic surge in 2025, with total trading value reaching EGP 15.7trn, compared to around EGP 2.3trn in 2024. He added that the FRA granted the Egyptian Exchange its first licence to trade futures contracts, strengthening hedging tools and risk management mechanisms within the capital market.
