Egypt’s Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has issued a comprehensive regulatory framework to govern government insurance funds, establishing an integrated system of oversight to ensure financial sustainability and protect the rights of approximately 30 million beneficiaries. Under the framework, government insurance funds must be established by a decree from the Prime Minister following a proposal from the FRA’s Board. The FRA has been granted broad powers to intervene in cases of violations or risks that threaten a fund’s financial position. Existing government insurance funds have been given a one-year deadline to bring their operations into compliance with the new regulations. Government insurance funds in Egypt are distinct from the national social insurance and pension systems.
