The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

Chairman’s Message

We’re saying goodbye to a year that featured a lot of


regional and international challenges hardly seen in any
other year. While emerging markets suffered from declines
in growth rates, devaluation of their currencies and fear of
terrorism, the Egyptian market was trying to regain its
performance while suffering from other regional
challenges as well, including falling oil prices and political
tension.

After celebrating a brilliant year for EGX in 2014, Egypt witnessed a lot of challenges
that EGX persistently tried to conquer and come out with the best possible performance
exhibited in the proceeds of its contribution to the economic and social development
plans and not only in the indices performance, which we cannot control. In this regard,
EGP 14 billion worth of capital increases were accomplished through EGX to help listed
companies expand and grow. In addition, capital of newly listed companies surged by
300% than that of 2014. Furthermore, the year also witnessed the comeback of huge
IPOs to record its highest number in 10 years.

On the development level, I have to say that we paid much attention to developing
legislative and regulatory infrastructure to help attract investment and promote
economy.

I’m very pleased to say that for the second time in a row the Doing Business Report,
done by World Bank, certified the effective Egyptian economy’s disclosure standards
which helped in maintaining Egypt’s overall rank in this report.

   | P a g e 1
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

Despite the tough challenges witnessed this year which was reflected on EGX indices
performances, EGX succeeded on other levels and I hope in this new year that we
conquer all the difficulties and challenges so that our beloved Egypt may prosper.

Last but not least, I would like to thank my fellow EGX colleagues, the Board of
Directors, market participants and Media figures for their sincere efforts and
contributions.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Mohammed Omran

Chairman of the Egyptian Exchange (EGX)

Chairman of the Federation of Euro-Asian Exchanges (FEAS)

International and Regional Economic and Political Challenges

The year 2015 witnessed significant regional and global challenges that had a negative
impact on the Egyptian economy and stock market. On the global level, the world
economic growth rate retreated led by China, to hit 6-year low, where the IMF decreased
its global economic growth rate forecast to 3.3% down from 3.5%, due to concerns about
China’s economic performance.

Despite Greece bailout deal, Eurozone is still looking for a firm recovery. Meanwhile,
leading emerging economies such as Russia, Brazil, Turkey and Mexico are struggling
through slower growth.

Moreover, currency war between China and USA fueled global economy turbulence,
whereby China devaluated the Yuan to promote exports, the Brazilian Real has retreated
by 26%, Turkish Lira dropped by 22% and the Mexican Peso slipped by 14%.
Furthermore, Economic challenges started to broaden to reach East Asia, whereby major
currencies hit low to reach their levels during the Asian financial crisis in 1997.

On the regional level, the recurring tensions and the increased conflicts in several
countries had lackluster effect on the region’s growth rate. In addition, the drop in oil
prices which recorded less than $40 a barrel, one of its lowest levels since 2009, and
witnessing the longest consecutive weekly loss in 29 years, had its wide impact on the
region economic growth due to its strong dependence on the oil sector.

Despite the gloomy picture of the international and regional economic conditions in
addition to the coexisting tension in the region, the Egyptian economy managed to
maintain good growth rate recording 4.2% led by investing in infrastructure and mega
projects. Gradual improvement in economic growth rate is expected to continue given
further economic reforms and improvements of the investment climate.

Several Shocks … Market Maintains Second Best Performance Prior To


2011 Revolution

Financial markets were the most affected by the economic events in 2015. Losses
recorded more than $ 3.2 trillion in some days during this year and the emerging
markets were most affected by these events. Almost all emerging markets retreated in
2015 according to Morgan Stanley Price Index (MSCI), where Emerging Markets (EM)
recorded a decrease of 17%, Greece led the declines retreating by 62%, followed by

The global circumstances and the regional political tension and struggles affected the
Egyptian Exchange performance, after occupying the 1st and 2nd rank compared to
global markets, EGX retreated by 25%, according to Morgan Stanley Price Index
(MSCI). Despite the decline, EGX maintained best performance over the last three
years, according to MSCI.

2015: The Second Best Year for EGX since the 25th of January Revolution

Despite the decrease in EGX indices, the year 2015 is considered the second best year for
the Egyptian Exchange, following 2014, since the 25th of January revolution in 2011.
The main market value traded (after excluding deals and bonds) registered LE 117
billion, the highest record since 2010 – with the exception of the year 2014 where it
recorded LE 189 billion. Average daily traded value reached LE 500 million.

   | P a g e 7
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

From another perspective, market capitalization recorded LE 430 billion, surging by LE


110 billion since 30 June 2013.

EGX Significant Contribution to Economic Growth

Despite the economic and political challenges, EGX continued its efforts to support the
Egyptian economy through providing finance for companies, helping them to expand
and creating more jobs. More than 50 companies increased their capital by LE 14 billion
in 2015, 50% higher than what was recorded in 2014 and more than the total capital
increases recorded in 2014 and 2013, collectively. The surge in capital increases reflects
the positive outlook both investors and companies have regarding the economic future.

Listing on EGX Surged by 300% since 2014, 3000% since 2013 and
Equivalent to what was Achieved in the Past Five Years Collectively

EGX has continued its efforts to increase market depth through attracting new
companies to list. In that respect, 15 new companies were listed this year with a total
capital of more than LE 6 billion, which is the highest recorded since 2008; 3 times
higher than that recorded in 2014, 30 times higher than 2013 levels and equivalent to the
what was achieved in the past five years (2010-2014), collectively.

Moreover, the year 2015 witnessed the listing of the first government-owned company,
in addition to a dual listing of a real estate company from Gulf-area region and the
listing of a new EDR for a Kuwaiti company.

   | P a g e 8
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

IPOs Reach its Highest Level in Ten Years

IPOs market has witnessed a remarkable activity during the year 2015, reaching its
highest level in ten years, recording more than LE 6.2 billion during the year which led
the Egyptian market to rank first compared to regional markets, in terms of IPOs
activity.

From another perspective, EGX held the second Investment Summit, which focused on
giving the business community better insight about listing on the stock exchange and its
benefits including the growth of their businesses. During this Summit, the Government
announced its intention to restructure state-owned companies through the Stock
Exchange.

The Value of Acquisitions Deals Records 37 Times higher than that of


2014… The Highest Recorded Number of Deal Since 2009

The acquisitions activity witnessed a hike during 2015, recording more than LE 16
billion, which is 37 times higher than that recorded in 2014. Additionally, the number of
acquisition deals amounted to 11 deals in 2015, which is the highest recorded since 2009.

For the Second Consecutive Year, EGX Effectively Contributed to


Improving Egypt's Investment Climate

For the second consecutive year, EGX’s continuous Listing and Disclosure rules
amendments have contributed to improving Egypt's investment climate. According to

   | P a g e 9
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

“Doing Business Report”, issued by the World Bank and IFC, Egypt came among the
best 6 countries improving investor protection in 2014-2015, which came as a result of
the latest comprehensive amendments to the listing rules. Additionally, the report
referred to the amendment of treasury stocks rules, one of the most important reasons
for improving Egypt's ranking at minority investor protections indicator.

Furthermore, the report indicated that the disclosure standards have improved
dramatically, where Egypt scored 8 out of 10 points, which is higher than the average of
the Middle East region (which scored 5.8 points) and higher than the average of high-
income countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
countries (OECD), which scored 6.4 points.

Worth mentioning that amendments in Listing and Disclosure rules have helped
improving Egypt's rank last year in spite of the decline of Egypt's ranking in some
indicators that were used in the assessment.

Continuous Efforts to Improve Disclosure Standards


The year 2015 has witnessed significant structural developments regarding the
disclosure standards and investors' protection, starting with the new Online Disclosure
System allowing blue-chip companies to send disclosure information via this electronic
system directly, minimizing the time taken to disclose the information effectively.
Furthermore, EGX decided to announce news published on all terminals on its website
at the same time to allow market participants to follow up with all news instantly.

On the other hand, EGX requested additional financial and operational information
from all listed companies, in order to provide investors with a clear and objective
overview about the companies.

   | P a g e 10
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

Deepening the Legislative & Regulatory Infrastructure

The year 2015 has witnessed many regulatory developments, which aimed at improving
the trading environment in the Egyptian Exchange, starting the year with the
amendments of 36 articles of the listing rules to ensure a wider application of corporate
governance and more investors' protection as well. In addition to fostering the
Exchange's ability to attract promising companies to be listed.

The new amendments ensured that founders, managers and Board of Directors of the
companies requested to be listed do not have previous court judgments issued against
any of them.

Additionally, the new rules facilitate the procedures of new offering for companies
seeking to comply with listing rules requirement. Moreover, the new rules regulate the
disclosure requirements of acquisition deals on assets that exceed more than 10% of the
company's shareholders equity.

Furthermore, the new amendments adopted new regulations addressing capital


increases resulting from mergers in addition to clear regulations for disclosing the ways
that capital increases will be used prior to listing.

   | P a g e 11
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

Continuous Development of EGX Trading Environment … Decreasing


Settlement Cycle to T+1
The year 2015 witnessed major improvements to the trading environment. The year
started with introducing ETFs and market maker for the first time in the Egyptian
market.

In an attempt to meet growing investors’ demands, settlement cycle has been decreased
to T+1. Moreover, EGX certified the first list of Arbitrators and Experts to settle Capital
Market disputes. Worth mentioning that settlement dispute rules was approved by EGX
BOD in 2014 to settle disputes without having to go to courts.

Restructuring the OTC Market ... Settling Deals in One Day


Aiming at improving investment climate for non-listed companies, EGX launched the
second phase of OTC restructure, enabling investors to place selling orders on unlisted
companies without the need to have the other side of the transaction. This will in turn
enhance joint venture activities in non-listed companies and will also help these
companies to obtain finance easily as partners will have a fast exit strategy.

Moreover, EGX managed to decrease the duration of settling deals on the OTC market
from 15 days to only one day.

Enhancing EGX Surveillance Capabilities


In order to enhance EGX Surveillance capabilities and to detect any manipulation,
several report and alerts have been activated on MillenniumIT Surveillance system.
   | P a g e 12
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

Additionally, surveillance staff has been given extensive training by MillenniumIT in


order to maximize the efficiency of the system.

Nilex Trading Volume Surge by 45% ... Several Agreements to Promote the
Market
Nilex maintained good liquidity level, whereby the trading figures surged by 45% over
the year, with a turnover ratio reaching 60%, which is a significant ratio compared to
the turnover ratio of the main market which recorded 27%.

The year witnessed several significant steps to promote Nilex, on top of them was the
signing of an MOU with The General Authority for Investment (GAFI) to promote the
role of Nilex as a platform for financing SMEs and to raise awareness, especially in
Upper Egypt, about the stock market. Additionally EGX signed an agreement with the
AUC to help improving SMEs capabilities and facilitate their access to finance.

From another perspective, EGX conducted several workshops in collaboration with


numerous business associations in Egypt, in addition to participating in several SMEs
conferences.

   | P a g e 13
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

Enhancing the Technological Infrastructure

Continuous developments to the technological infrastructure have been undertaken by


EGX. In order hedge against any risks that could hinder trading, EGX started a plan to
move its Data Center to Smart Village.

Moreover, several amendments have been undertaken by EGX to the OTC market
allowing brokerage firm to keep the unexecuted orders on the trading terminals for the
unlisted de-materialized shares, which will facilitate the procedures and save time and
effort.

On the other hand, EGX approved the amendments allowing brokerage firms the access
to an online daily report that includes all transactions executed by the company.

   | P a g e 14
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

Clearing Foreign Investors' Backlog Transactions

The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) fully repaid all foreign investors’ outstanding dues,
amounting to more than LE 500 million, thereby settling all pending backlog trades
since 2012. The decision will help in restoring foreign investors’ confidence in the
Egyptian financial market as it facilitates market entry and exit and hence attracts more
foreign investments to EGX.

Continuous Efforts to Encourage Private Sector to Adopt Sustainable


Development Practices

In a step to spread sustainability practices among listed companies, EGX organized the
first annual sustainability conference, which aimed at adopting initiatives to integrate
local private sector in sustainability plans.

From another perspective, in a ceremony attended by UN Women program, UN Global


Compact and IFC, EGX rang the bell to celebrate the UN initiative for women
empowerment and gender equality, joining 34 stock exchanges around the world.
Additionally, the United Nations invited Dr. Mohamed Omran, EGX Chairman, to
speak about the Egyptian experience at the UN Third International Conference on
Financing for Development.

Furthermore, the Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative chose EGX as a reference


model for effective communication with market participants.

EGX Launching the Seventh Index….and New EGX30 Index Methodology


Amendments

To meet the growing investors’ demands, EGX launched the seventh index, EGX 50
EWI. The index includes the top 50 companies in terms of liquidity and activity.

Additionally, the Indices Committee approved new amendments in EGX 30 index


methodology, whereby companies with a free float less than 15% are eligible to be
included in EGX 30 Index, provided that the market capitalization is more than or equal
LE 100 million.

International Community Praises EGX

On the international front, EGX is sparing no efforts to enhance its relations with other
stock markets and International organizations. In that Regard, EGX hosted the African
Stock Exchange Association Executive Committee meeting for the first time since 2012.
During the meeting, Dr. Omran was elected to head the Association Standards
Committee, which aims at setting a unified strategy for member countries.

   | P a g e 16
The Egyptian Exchange Annual Report 2015

Furthermore, EGX hosted 13 European, Asian and African stock exchanges'


representatives in an extensive training program to study the Egyptian capital market
experience.

EGX to Launch a Stock Market Museum Soon

EGX is currently working on finalizing the first historical stock market museum, which
will highlight 135 years of EGX efforts to support the Egyptian economy. The museum is
expected to open for public by the first quarter of 2016 and will include precious
collections, which will reflect the historical development of the Egyptian Stock
Exchange.

Finally…

What EGX has achieved during the years 2014-2015 should be an incentive to make
more efforts in the next years to maintain the achievements done under the tough and
challenging regional & global circumstances.

Convening the Egyptian parliament is expected to improve investment climate and help
attract more investments to the local market.

On the other hand , improving the economic conditions will facilitate the offering
process to many companies listed on EGX but are still in the process of preparing for
their Initial Public Offering.

Moreover, the Egyptian Exchange is still fulfilling the strategy it’s started two years ago
for the period (2013-2017), including EGX contribution to economic & social
developments, improving the legislative, regulatory and technological infrastructure,
attracting more foreign investments to the Egyptian market and focusing on taking part
in regional and international alliances to protect emerging markets interests.

The Egyptian market recorded mixed performance during 2015 as a result of global and
regional events and their negative impact on the global stock markets and emerging
markets in particular, where the majority of emerging markets recorded considerable

4. Market Aggregates
a. Market Totals
Despite the circumstances witnessed during 2015, the Egyptian market has maintained its
second-best performance after the revolution in 2011. Where the total value traded
reached LE 248 billion, compared to LE 291 billion in 2014, but still higher than that in
2013 by almost 53%.

Moreover, trading volume recorded more than 45 billion securities, compared to 57


billion securities in 2014. Likewise, the number of transactions recorded more than 4.9
million during this year versus 7.3 million transactions in 2014.

Moreover, the value traded of the main market amounted to over LE 226 billion in 2015
compared to LE 265 billion in 2014 (including both bonds and deals). Meanwhile, volume
traded of the main market reached 43 billion securities compared to 56 billion securities
in 2014.

On the other hand, the Over the Counter market (OTC) registered a trading value of LE
21 billion in 2015, as opposed to LE 25 billion in 2014. Additionally, the trading volume of
the OTC market reached 1.8 billion securities in 2015, compared to 1.3 billion securities
last year. Worth mentioning that the Egyptian Exchange launched the second phase of
enhancing the Over the Counter (OTC) market to help improve investment climate to
non-listed companies, where investors now can place their orders on a non-listed
company without providing the other party (buyer/seller). This is expected to help in
boosting partnership activities in this sector and will help in obtaining finance with no
difficulties when partners want a fast exit strategy.

From another perspective, Nilex (SMEs market) maintained good levels of trading
activity in 2015, where trading value reached LE 618 million versus LE 784 million in
2014. Moreover, volume traded reached 380 million securities compared to 263 million
securities in 2014, with an increase of 45%.

The market capitalization concluded the year at LE 430 billion as opposed to LE 500
billion at the end of 2014, but it remains higher than its level in June 2013 by about 110
billion, representing 22% of GDP.
