The Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority issued Board Resolution No. 92 of 2023 to amend the capital requirements and compliance timelines for licensed microfinance companies. The Resolution establishes a minimum issued and paid-up capital of 75 million Egyptian pounds (or foreign currency equivalent) and requires existing licensed entities to align their operations within one year, with a possible two-year extension for justified cases. It takes effect the day after publication in Al-Waqaya Al-Masriya and on the Authority's official website.
