Also, the non-oil private sector contracted for a fifth straight month in May, marked by a historic surge in selling-price inflation as businesses pass their mounting costs onto consumers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But pleasant news comes from the EGX<\/strong>, which eked out a 1.73% gain last month. However, the real momentum has rotated down-market to smaller caps.

Fund managers are now required to be official EGX member firms licensed by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA).

By using the SFE to de-risk investments and crowd in private capital, the government is shifting industrial growth from a fiscal burden to a capital market play.
