Egypt's Financial Regulatory Authority will hold the annual FRA Sandbox summit on September 7, 2026, to review the regulatory sandbox’s first-year results and discuss the role of financial technology in developing nonbank financial services. During its first year, the sandbox received applications from 49 projects, granted preliminary approval to seven and advanced two to live testing in a supervised environment. The sandbox enables market participants and entrepreneurs to test innovative technology while meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including safeguards for customers, data security and market stability. The summit will also address the sandbox’s future plans and lessons from its initial projects as the authority seeks to expand live testing before solutions are made more widely available in the market.
