Egyptian market outpaces Arab stocks
The Egyptian stock market became the leading market in the Arab world in June 2026, with a 56.9% increase in market capitalization compared to the previous year, driven by strong market performance and comprehensive reform initiatives. The EGX30 index achieved a 40.6% rise in 2025, followed by an additional 33.5% up to mid-2026. Stock trading volumes reached approximately 579 billion Egyptian pounds during the first four months, a 62% year-over-year increase, with an average daily trading volume exceeding 18 billion pounds compared to about 5 billion in 2025. Regulatory and tax reforms were also introduced, such as reduced transaction fees and a new tax regime on profits, which helped attract over 420,000 new investors in the first seven months of 2026 and boosted foreign inflows. These developments position the Egyptian market at a prominent place in the Arab region and open prospects for significant future growth.
