The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) of Egypt issued Board Decision No. 74 of 2019 to amend Decision No. 53 of 2018 regarding licensing conditions and share ownership rules for non-banking financial companies. The amendment exempts companies engaged in establishing or capitalizing other firms from the mandatory ownership structure requirements previously imposed on non-banking financial activity operators. Additionally, it revises the capital contribution table for securities rating and classification firms by mandating a minimum 10% international ownership stake while removing the requirement for legal entities or financial institutions to serve as founders.
