Egyptians abroad can easily invest in stocks, funds via apps, says FRA chief
Egyptians living abroad can easily invest in the Egyptian Exchange and in investment funds through technological applications, the head of the country's Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has said. Speaking at the 6th Conference for Egyptians Abroad, FRA Chairperson Mohamed Farid said that developing flexible and integrated insurance solutions to provide effective coverage for Egyptians abroad is a top priority for the authority. He added that fintech has provided broader opportunities for the diaspora to benefit from non-banking financial tools in an easy and safe way, strengthening their connection to their homeland and opening up avenues for them to participate in development plans. The conference, which was opened by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, was organised by the ministries of foreign affairs and emigration. Farid noted that the non-banking financial sector, with its insurance, financing, and investment services, is a cornerstone of economic growth. He said technology allows Egyptians abroad to partner with major national companies in promising sectors and benefit from diverse investment funds. The FRA chief highlighted the development of a personal accident insurance policy for Egyptians abroad and their families, which he said reflects the state's commitment to protecting its citizens. He noted that after the insurance payout was increased to 250,000 Egyptian pounds, the number of insured individuals saw a noticeable increase of 20% in July 2025 alone. The number of insured Egyptians abroad has reached 1.3 million as of the end of July 2025, with 120 compensation cases totalling 10 million pounds paid out, Farid said. He also pointed to the launch in 2023 of the first pension policy for Egyptian citizens abroad, which aims to provide an additional pension and can be purchased electronically. Farid outlined the FRA's efforts to digitise non-banking financial transactions, beginning with a 2014 decision to regulate the electronic distribution of standard insurance policies and continuing with recent executive decisions to implement Law No. 5 of 2022, which established the regulatory framework for using technology in non-banking financial activities. The FRA is committed to developing and providing services that meet the needs of Egyptians working abroad and to continuing its efforts to improve insurance inclusion and expand the base of beneficiaries, he concluded.

Egypt's Stock Market Hits Record, Poised for Further Gains on IPO Activity
Ahmed Emam The EGX 30 benchmark index jumped on Monday to a record high above 34,700 points, driven by strong investor sentiment and optimism over upcoming listings, with analysts eyeing a move toward the 36,000-point level. Mohamed Gaballah, a capital markets expert and board member at Roaya Online Securities, told "Erm Business" the rally reflects improving economic conditions and could push the index to 'historic levels.' The surge follows comments last week from Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, who said Egypt had overcome recent economic headwinds, citing stronger performance indicators, steady supplies of goods and factory inputs, and measures to ease pressures on households. The Egyptian Exchange will list shares of "Al Wataniya Printing" on Tuesday, marking the second initial public offering (IPO) of 2025 after real estate firm "Bonyan" debuted last month. Analysts say the IPO pipeline is likely to sustain momentum in the months ahead. . read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
