The decision sets the insurance increase at one per thousand of the daily average value, requiring firms to adjust their coverage amounts on January 1 and June 30 of each year. This amendment to prior guidelines ensures adequate financial protection and takes effect the day after publication in the Egyptian Gazette and on official websites.
