The Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority has given government insurance funds an extra three months to comply with the rules governing how they invest their money. The new deadline is September 3, replacing the previous June 3 deadline. Under an earlier 2025 board decision, government insurance funds with investments above EGP 100 million must place at least 5% and no more than 20% of their total funds in units of open-ended investment funds that invest in exchange-listed equities. Exposure to any single investment fund is capped at the lower of 5% of the insurance fund's total assets or 10% of the investment fund's net asset value. The extension applies to six government insurance funds and sits alongside a broader 2025 framework covering their supervision, governance, internal controls, financial disclosure, risk management and required financial and actuarial reporting.
