The Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority directed companies and institutions in the non-banking financial sector under its supervision to apply remote working on Sundays during April 2026, as each entity deems appropriate for the nature of its activities, to support operational readiness and business continuity amid current regional developments. The Authority stressed that service levels for customers and internal operating efficiency must not be affected. It called for continued efficient client handling through call centres and technical support, uninterrupted operation of digital platforms and services, and strengthened protection and cybersecurity systems. Firms are expected to ensure non-banking financial services are delivered without interruption, keep core activities fully operational, coordinate across departments, and maintain readiness at branches and principal offices to monitor workflow and institutional performance. The Authority asked relevant entities to take the necessary implementation steps and indicated it will reassess the situation at the end of April in line with developments.
