REGULATION WATCH- The EGX will allow margin trading on ETFs in February 2018, said EGX head Mohamed Farid on Monday, according to Ahram Gate. The move would be part of a string of new products and instruments the bourse is planning on launching soon, including derivatives and short-selling. We noted last month that the EGX has completed technical tests of a platform which would allow short-selling on the bourse.
