Egyptian stock market gains 500k investors in nine months
During the first nine months of 2026, the Egyptian Stock Exchange experienced remarkable growth, with more than 500,000 new investors joining compared to 300,000 registered throughout the entire year of 2025. If the current pace continues, it is expected that the total number of registered investors during 2025 and 2026 will exceed one million. Additionally, the daily trading volume has risen to approximately 10 billion Egyptian pounds, with some sessions recording trades between 19 and 20 billion pounds solely in stocks, supported by technological advancements and amendments to financial technology laws that facilitated the entry of new investors. This has led to increased trading activity, alongside a diversification of market instruments such as derivatives and futures services. Trading volumes have grown by about 50% following the abolition of capital gains tax and the reduction of taxes on transactions. Furthermore, positive economic indicators—such as rising foreign reserves and decreasing inflation—have contributed to a favorable investment climate and the expanding base of active investors day by day.
