The Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce is backing the measure, which would create a marketplace for oil, gas, wheat and fertilizers futures. EGX head Mohamed Farid is currently in Sweden to speak with top executives at Nasdaq and other exchanges on mechanisms to bring about futures exchanges. Regulations on futures were introduced as part of amendments to the Capital Markets Act.<\/p>\n

Sukuks would require new legislation be issued, we were told, despite provisions authorizing them in the amended Capital Markets Act. The EGX is also looking at what it can do to accelerate the growth of a market for corporate bonds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
