what happened
According to the annual report from Egypt's Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), total assets of private insurance funds rose to EGP 238.2bn in 2025 from EGP 195.7bn a year earlier, an increase of 21.7%. Reserve funds grew to about EGP 226bn, and total investments reached EGP 210.9bn, up 25.5%.
The number of active funds fell to 665 from 671, while membership reached about 4.21 million at year-end. Most of the money is placed in government-guaranteed securities, about EGP 88.27bn, and in deposits and savings certificates, about EGP 88.05bn. Shares on the Egyptian Exchange account for only EGP 4.46bn.
why it matters
The report shows that savings accumulated through private funds in Egypt are growing faster than headline figures suggest and are concentrated in government debt and bank instruments. For markets, this points to steady domestic demand for sovereign bonds and bank deposits rather than an event likely to move Egyptian equities or the pound significantly.
market impact
Egyptian government bonds and banks: steady domestic demand for debt and deposits.
