The Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority will hold a conference and public outreach program in Alexandria on Oct. 15 to expand awareness and use of regulated nonbank financial services.

The authority will open a public exhibition connecting residents and businesses with providers of capital market, investment fund, insurance, consumer finance, leasing, factoring, mortgage finance and enterprise finance services. Educational sessions will address financial decision-making, fraud and harmful market practices, as well as the safe use of financial technology. Separate meetings with legislators, business representatives and Alexandria University participants will cover market developments, recent regulatory decisions, innovation, entrepreneurship and risk monitoring, while a National Council for Women session will promote financial literacy among women.
