02 · Eligibility
For Institutional Positions

What qualifies on EGX.

EGX is a growth market whose single-stock volatility, free-float distribution and (in places) foreign-ownership limits weigh heavily on eligibility.

For any given EGX position, our review looks at: free float and daily traded volume against the size of the transaction; your status (controlling shareholder, director, substantial shareholder) and the disclosure that follows; the issuer’s sector and listing segment; and what the transaction must do (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse, custody).

03 · Disclosure
FRA

Framework cited on EGX.

The principal regulatory reference on EGX is Disclosure of major holdings under the Capital Market Law No. 95 of 1992 and its Executive Regulations. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.

The citations above are public regulatory references, given for orientation only and not as legal advice. Take independent legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction for any specific transaction.

EGX · Stock Loans

What holders ask about EGX.

01How much can I borrow against an EGX-listed holding?
The loan-to-value is set to the specific holding — free float, daily traded volume, volatility, and your regulatory standing. We quote indicative ratios only after reviewing the actual EGX position.
02Which EGX segments can I borrow against?
We look at each case across the segments Egyptian Exchange runs: Main Market; NILEX (SME market). Higher tiers are usually simpler to structure, as free float and liquidity are deeper.
03What currency can the facility be drawn in?
The default is EGP, the listing currency. Cross-currency structures are common and readily arranged.
