The Egyptian Exchange is preparing for one of its strongest years for new listings, with around eight companies expected to go public in 2026, primarily from the medical and tourism sectors. The pipeline reflects renewed confidence in Egypt’s capital markets and growing appetite from companies seeking to access public capital.

The exchange has also met the qualitative criteria required by FTSE Russell for developed market classification, and its transition into a joint-stock company is expected to accelerate the rollout of advanced trading tools including derivatives, market makers, and short selling.
