The Central Bank of Egypt is committed to measuring financial inclusion levels in the country and has decided to build a comprehensive database of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). To achieve this, the Bank has issued a unified definition for women-owned or women-managed businesses, taking into account the definition of MSMEs provided by the Bank in March 2017. The Bank's decision includes defining women-owned or women-managed businesses for statistical purposes and accurate data collection, with specific criteria for ownership and management.
