Egypt to activate electronic link between agencies to speed up investor services
Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Mohamed Farid said on Sunday, February 22, 2026, that ongoing coordination between the ministry and relevant authorities represents a key step toward building an integrated electronic system to streamline the approval of company board minutes and accelerate capital increase procedures without requiring physical presence, boosting market efficiency and improving the investor experience.
The minister said the electronic linkage between the Investment Ministry, the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones, the Commercial Registry, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the Financial Regulatory Authority, the General Authority for Internal Trade Development, the Egyptian Exchange and Misr for Central Clearing, Depository and Registry establishes a business-friendly environment based on simplified and faster services, while reinforcing confidence in Egypt’s investment climate.
The remarks came during a broad coordination meeting aimed at exploring mechanisms for integration and electronic connectivity between different agencies, as part of a government plan to streamline procedures, reduce service delivery times, and eliminate administrative burdens on investors.
Saleh noted that the first phase involves activating the immediate digital exchange of approvals and documents related to capital increases, allowing applications to be submitted and approved electronically.
The system enables the Egyptian Exchange, Misr for Central Clearing and the Commercial Registry to directly access approved documents, ensuring rapid data updates and verification of amendments.
Officials from relevant agencies attended the meeting, including the head of the Internal Trade Development Authority, the Deputy Minister of Communications and deputies and heads of investment-related authorities and institutions, as part of efforts to enhance institutional integration and support national economic competitiveness.
