The Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority and the Ministry of Education and Technical Education signed a cooperation protocol to enable school students, starting from age 15, to benefit from non-banking financial activities through secure, regulated channels, with a focus on building early financial literacy around saving, investing and entrepreneurship. The initiative builds on the Authority’s latest amendment to the rules governing youth dealings in securities listed on the Egyptian Exchange, which allows young people from age 15 to trade listed securities. Planned activities include structured awareness campaigns, specialised education and training delivered in schools and training centres, and the provision of an Egyptian Exchange trading simulation system for students to gain practical, supervised exposure to capital market mechanisms, alongside guidance on recognising fraud and using only officially authorised channels.
