<\/a> EGX fees are set to be cut and planned caps on margin trading could be<\/strong> delayed<\/strong> as the government looks to cushion the impact of the planned capital gains tax on EGX trades. In a meeting led by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) yesterday, policymakers agreed to cut trading, clearance and regulatory fees by 20% and to delay by six months the introduction of new restrictions on how much investors can borrow to trade shares. The regulator announced the moves in a series of statements (here (pdf)<\/a> and here (pdf)<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The trigger: <\/strong>Capital gains tax is coming and investors aren\u2019t happy.<\/strong> Confirmation in September that the government would push ahead with the introduction of a 10% tax<\/a> on capital gains made by resident investors has not gone down well with retail investors or the securities industry. Investors, analysts and MPs have warned that an additional tax could stifle trading volumes on an already-depressed market and make the bourse even less attractive to foreign investors.<\/p>\n

Retail investors account for the majority of activity in the market <\/strong>on most days, and pundits worried the proposed cap on margin trading could depress trading activity if it came into place at the same time as the 10% CGT.<\/p>\n

Cue the sweetener:<\/strong> Amid calls to scrap the tax outright, the government last week unveiled a<\/a><\/a>package of tax breaks and fee cuts<\/a> aimed reducing the impact of the CGT and keep retail investors in the market, among them is the cut to EGX fees which the FRA, EGX and Misr Clearing officials discussed yesterday. The fees include those paid on each transaction to the EGX and Misr for Central Clearing, regulatory fees paid to the FRA and payments to the Investor Protection Fund.<\/p>\n

Also: All fees will be classified as expenses<\/strong>, meaning investors paying taxes here will be allowed to use them to offset their tax bill.<\/p>\n

AND-<\/strong> The EGX and FRA are going to continue their discussions on potentially loosening caps<\/a><\/strong> on intraday share price movements<\/strong>. A separate proposal under study would also see a subset of regulations that would impose specific intraday price movement caps on volatile and high-risk stocks that would be separate from the general market limits.<\/p>\n

Regulators also seem to be easing off the introduction of <\/strong>new restrictions on margin<\/a><\/strong><\/a><\/strong>lending<\/a><\/strong>:<\/strong> The FRA yesterday agreed to hold off introducing the caps for up to six months, meaning they may not come into effect until the middle of 2022<\/a>. The is a signal that the regulator wants to keep the market moving smoothly, FRA Deputy Chairman Islam Azzam said in an interview with CNBC Arabia (watch, runtime: 8:14<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A refresher:<\/strong> Designed to mitigate financial risk, the rules would place new limits on how much investors can trade on margin, prohibiting them from either purchasing more than 3% of a company\u2019s market cap or 5% of its freefloat shares (whichever is higher). Companies would be restricted from having more than 15% of their outstanding shares held on margin or 30% of its publicly-traded shares (whichever is higher).<\/p>\n

It appears that the margin trading regulations will be more detailed than we thought: <\/strong>The FRA will now look at a proposal from the bourse that would regulate the volume of margin trades brokerages<\/a> are allowed for each security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
