The Egyptian Exchange's (EGX) main indices and market capitalisation reached historic highs on Tuesday, with over 120,000 transactions executed and a trading value of around 5.4 billion Egyptian pounds, following the inauguration of its 2025–2029 Board of Directors by Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Hassan El-Khatib. El-Khatib affirmed during his opening address that the government is committed to supporting capital markets as a key tool for financing economic growth and expanding private-sector participation. These robust indicators, the statement added, reinforce Egypt's position on the regional and international investment map as the exchange moves steadily into a new phase of institutional expansion.
