The Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority hosted a delegation from Algeria's Commission for the Regulation and Supervision of Stock Exchange Operations for a professional knowledge program held from June 15 to 17, focused on sharing regulatory and supervisory experience in capital markets and nonbank financial activities. The discussions centered on Egypt's recent market developments, including the launch of derivatives and futures contracts, investment fund activity, digital platforms for investing in real estate investment funds, and other fintech-related developments. The program also covered legislative and supervisory frameworks for capital markets, insurance and finance, along with investor incentives and financial inclusion priorities in both countries. Technical sessions briefed the Algerian delegation on Egypt's regulation of venture capital funds, including establishment, licensing and governance requirements, supervision of investment funds, investor protection and periodic monitoring, as well as the authority's broader reform agenda, strategy, capacity-building work and financial awareness efforts. Closing discussions addressed the development of financial products and diversification of financing instruments, alongside the authority's experience with digital transformation, fintech, regulatory technology, risk management and compliance. The visit was presented as part of wider technical cooperation aimed at strengthening regulatory and supervisory frameworks in both countries and supporting closer coordination among Arab regulators.
