Insurance and reinsurance brokerage companies are required to raise their capital to a minimum of EGP 5m, while risk assessment expertise firms, loss adjusting and damage assessment companies, insurance consultancy expertise firms, and actuarial expertise companies must increase their capital to at least EGP 3m by June 2026.
