CAIRO - 1 February 2026: The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has announced a six-month extension for companies in the insurance and reinsurance brokerage sectors, as well as firms specializing in loss assessment, inspection, and insurance consultancy, to meet minimum capital requirements.
The new deadline is now June 2026.
Under the updated regulations:
-
Insurance and reinsurance brokerage firms must raise their capital to at least LE 5 million
-
Risk assessment, loss inspection, insurance consultancy, and actuarial expertise firms must reach a minimum capital of LE 3 million
Companies are required to submit a detailed timeline for their capital increases within one month of the FRA’s announcement.
Additionally, no cash dividends can be distributed to shareholders until the minimum capital requirements are fully met and FRA approval is obtained.
The FRA said the extension allows companies sufficient time to comply with capital requirements, strengthening financial resilience and ensuring stability across the sector.
