Egyptian Exchange tops Arab markets with 56.9% gain in June 2026

The Egyptian Stock Exchange experienced significant growth in June 2026, recording a 56.9% increase in market capitalization compared to the same month in 2025, making it the leading market in the Arab region. This coincided with a 33.5% rise in the EGX30 index until mid-August 2026, and a surge in trading of listed shares to approximately 579 billion EGP during the first four months of the year, representing a 62% year-on-year increase. The daily trading value also surpassed 18 billion EGP. Additionally, the market welcomed over 420,000 new investors in seven and a half months, thanks to easier regulatory and tax reforms, including replacing capital gains tax with a lower stamp duty and reduced fees for non-residents. The government is also focusing on government offerings and increasing initial public offerings, reflecting a trend toward further growth and development in Egypt’s financial markets.
