The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) issued Decision No. (149) of 2018 to establish the specific requirements and conditions for licensing direct investment companies in Egypt. The regulation mandates a minimum paid-up capital of 10 million Egyptian pounds, requires the company to operate as a fixed-term limited partnership, and stipulates strict experience thresholds for responsible managers and investment partners. It further prohibits general partners from engaging in self-dealing, market manipulation, or disclosure violations, while outlining registration procedures, applicable fees, and mandatory disclosure statements for compliance.
