1 articles · Updated · WAYA · Aug 5

Summary

  • Egyptian Exchange Chairman Omar Radwan said EGX is evaluating carbon certificates, gold trading and a startup exchange to widen the market’s product lineup.
  • Some of those products still need legislative or regulatory changes, making approvals a key hurdle before launch.
  • EGX is also courting family-owned companies to go public by highlighting Egypt’s updated tax incentives, aiming to deepen the listings pipeline.
  • The exchange says it can absorb more public and private offerings, with trading volumes, investor participation and market rules already in place.
  • Together, the product plans and listing push mark a broader effort to expand Egypt’s capital-market infrastructure and investor choice.
