Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority appoints Mahmoud Jibril, Walid Anwar and Ahmed Sheta as assistants to the chairman

Egypt’s Prime Minister issued a decision appointing Mahmoud Jibril, Walid Anwar and Counsellor Ahmed Mohamed Taher Sheta as assistants to the chairman of the Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA). The appointments add to the FRA’s senior leadership under Chairman Dr Mohamed Farid Saleh, who was tasked by presidential decree in August 2025 to lead the authority for one year with ministerial rank. Jibril has held a series of leadership roles within the FRA, including Director General for the Protection of Market Participants and deputy roles covering corporate finance, and has also worked across securities brokerage, banking, asset management and financial investments. Anwar will oversee supervision of non-banking financial institutions across Egypt to support compliance with applicable laws and regulations, with experience spanning consumer finance, financial leasing, factoring, mortgage finance, and small, medium and microenterprise finance. Sheta brings more than 15 years of legal experience focused largely on economic matters, including work with the technical secretariat of a ministerial committee for resolving investment disputes and positions within Egypt’s State Council.
