The announcement was made during IOSCO’s 2025 annual meeting in Doha, Qatar, following a competitive selection process. Egypt’s successful bid is the result of sustained efforts by the FRA to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and competitiveness of its capital markets, reinforcing international trust in the country’s regulatory and supervisory framework.
Set to take place in the city of Sharm El-Sheikh, the conference will serve as a premier global platform for high-level dialogue. It will bring together policymakers, financial regulators, and capital market leaders from around the world to address pressing issues in global financial markets and explore strategies to promote financial stability and sustainable economic growth.
Hosting the IOSCO Annual Conference is a testament to the FRA’s leadership in reforming the legislative and regulatory landscape of Egypt’s financial sector. Key advancements include improving the investment climate, fostering transparency, embracing digital transformation, and promoting sustainable finance—efforts aligned with international best practices and standards.
FRA Chairperson Mohamed Farid emphasized that Egypt’s selection reflects global recognition of its reform trajectory and offers a unique opportunity to showcase the country’s progress to the international financial community. He highlighted the conference as a strategic avenue for forging new partnerships that support emerging markets.
