The news
- The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) has launched its first-ever mobile app to boost market accessibility.
- The beta app offers real-time market data, news, index summaries, and major stock movements.
- This launch is part of EGX’s broader digital transformation strategy.
The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) has launched a mobile application designed to make stock market information more accessible to the public. The EGX app, released in beta on Sunday, August 17, 2025, offers a mobile-first solution that provides real-time updates on the Egyptian stock market.
According to the EGX, the new platform includes daily market news, overviews of major indices, data on listed securities, and a summary of the biggest gainers and losers of the trading day. For a stock exchange often perceived as slow to modernise, the EGX app marks a pivotal shift.
More than just an informational tool, the app includes an EGX Dialogue Platform, inviting users to provide feedback that could shape the platform’s future updates. This user-driven approach is part of the EGX’s commitment to building an inclusive capital market with a strong digital foundation.
The app aligns with the EGX’s strategic development framework, which aims to enhance transparency and efficiency through modern applications and technology platforms. It’s one of several digital initiatives that signal a broader transformation of Egypt’s financial landscape.
The move also comes at a time when mobile and Internet penetration in Egypt is soaring. The country has over 116 million mobile connections and more than 96 million Internet users, providing a strong foundation for mobile-first financial services. The EGX’s pivot to digital is timely and could simplify how everyday Egyptians access market data. The app could play a major role in drawing in a new generation of retail investors, many of whom have historically been excluded due to limited access or understanding of capital markets.
Looking ahead, if the EGX continues to iterate on the app based on user input and expands features to include trading or educational tools, it could significantly reshape the retail investment landscape in Egypt. The app may not only serve seasoned investors but could also become the first touchpoint for young, tech-savvy Egyptians looking to understand and participate in the stock market.
