EGX Issues Warning to Listed Companies Over Non-Compliance with E-Voting Requirements
The Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) has issued a formal warning to several listed companies for failing to comply with regulations mandating the facilitation of electronic participation and voting in general assembly meetings.
In a disclosure published on the EGX trading screens earlier today, the Listing Committee cited violations of a key provision in the Securities Listing and Delisting Rules, which requires listed entities to implement digital systems that allow shareholders to remotely attend and vote during general assemblies.
The committee has given the concerned companies a 15-day deadline from the date of notification to submit a detailed plan outlining measures to ensure full compliance with the e-voting requirement. These measures must be in place before the next general assembly meeting convenes.
The EGX emphasized that such violations must not be repeated, reaffirming its commitment to digital transformation, corporate transparency, and the protection of shareholder rights. Enabling remote participation is seen as a critical step in broadening shareholder engagement and ensuring equitable access to corporate governance processes.
The move comes as part of Egypt's broader efforts to modernize capital markets infrastructure and align corporate practices with international standards.

Slight Decline in Local Gold Prices as Markets Await U.S. Data and
Waleed Farouk Gold prices in the local market recorded a slight drop during Thursday's trading, pressured by a modest decline in global spot prices as the U.S. dollar saw a mild rebound. The market is on edge ahead of the U.S.-Russia summit scheduled for tomorrow in Alaska. Local gold prices fell by about EGP 5 compared to Wednesday's close, with 21-karat gold now trading at EGP 4,570 per gram. Globally, spot gold slipped $4 to $3,355 an ounce. In other categories, 24-karat gold stood at EGP 5,223, 18-karat at EGP 3,917, and 14-karat at EGP 3,047, while the gold pound coin was priced at EGP 36,560. On Wednesday, prices remained relatively steady, with 21-karat gold opening and closing at EGP 4,575 per gram, while spot gold rose $11 from $3,348 to $3,359. Market Drivers Gold is currently trading in a tight range near $3,355 per ounce, as a stable U.S. dollar limits its upside. Market sentiment remains fragile ahead of the U.S.-Russia summit, following U.S. President Donald Trump's warning of 'very severe consequences' if Russia does not end the war in Ukraine, according to CNN. Analysts are divided: some see the talks as a chance to ease tensions, while others fear a failure could escalate geopolitical risks, spurring safe-haven flows into gold. Focus on U.S. Economic Data Investors are awaiting U.S. weekly jobless claims and July's Producer Price Index (PPI) data for clues on the Federal Reserve's policy direction. U.S. Treasury yields fell for the second consecutive day, with the 10-year yield dropping to 4.213% and the 30-year yield to 4.803%, amid rising expectations of rate cuts. According to CME's FedWatch tool, markets are now fully pricing in a 25-basis-point cut in September, compared to about 60% odds a few weeks ago, with additional cuts likely in October and December. Federal Reserve Commentary U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Fed should cut rates by 150–175 basis points, calling for an immediate 50-basis-point reduction in September. In contrast, Fed member Austan Goolsbee stressed that rate cuts require several months of favorable inflation data, while Raphael Bostic said the central bank has the 'luxury of waiting' and expects only one cut in 2025. Data Expectations Initial jobless claims are forecast to rise to 228,000 from 226,000 the previous week, with continuing claims steady at 1.96 million. PPI is expected to increase by 0.2% month-on-month and 2.5% year-on-year, while the core PPI is seen up 0.2% monthly and 2.9% annually. 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 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video 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 Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

PM: Egypt Projects Natural Gas Output to Reach 6.6 Bcf/Day by 2027
Ahmed Emam Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Wednesday that the country expects to boost its natural gas production to 6.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) by 2027, up from the current 4.1 Bcf/d. Speaking during a briefing on the government's energy strategy, Madbouly highlighted ongoing investments in exploration, development, and infrastructure aimed at increasing output and meeting both domestic demand and export commitments. The Prime Minister noted that the expansion plan is part of Egypt's broader strategy to consolidate its role as a regional energy hub, leveraging its liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities and strategic location. Egypt has emerged as a key gas supplier in the Eastern Mediterranean, benefiting from recent discoveries such as the giant Zohr field. However, production levels have faced challenges in recent years due to natural field declines and fluctuating investment. Madbouly expressed confidence that new projects, combined with enhanced efficiency in existing fields, will enable Egypt to achieve the 2027 production target. 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 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video 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 Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Simplified tax system ‘permanent measure' to support small enterprises: ETA head
Rasha Abdel Aal, Head of the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), affirmed that Law No. 6 of 2025—covering enterprises with annual revenues not exceeding EGP 20m—marks a key step in the state's drive to support small and micro-enterprises, encourage formalisation, and ensure their long-term sustainability. She stressed that the simplified tax system introduced under the law is permanent and not linked to any expiry date, enabling taxpayers to plan with confidence. Its primary aim, she said, is to streamline procedures and continuously reduce tax burdens, reflecting the state's commitment to a secure, investment-friendly business climate. Abdel Aal explained that the law adopts a graduated tax rate structure, starting from 0.4% for enterprises with annual revenues below EGP 500,000 and reaching 1.5% for those under EGP 20m. Businesses joining the system enjoy a five-year exemption from tax audits from the date of enrolment, along with exemptions from capital gains tax on fixed asset sales, dividend tax, state resource development fees, stamp duty, and registration and notarisation fees for incorporation contracts or business-related land registration. They are also exempt from the withholding or advance income tax payment mechanism. VAT returns are to be filed quarterly instead of monthly, while payroll tax returns are submitted annually, with registration and payment procedures simplified and no requirement for complex accounting records or lengthy returns. She noted that the ETA is committed to providing free technical and technological support to help enterprises join its electronic systems, supplying point-of-sale devices, and offering ongoing consultancy services. Abdel Aal emphasised that participation in the simplified system ensures tax stability, safeguards taxpayer rights, and encourages business expansion, adding that the authority will continue to deliver technical and awareness support to help the tax community fully benefit from these facilitation measures.
