Risks of investing in Egypt

  • Currency (FX) risk. Egypt shares trade in EGP. Your USD return moves with both the share price and the EGP-to-USD exchange rate, which can help or hurt performance.
  • Liquidity risk. Some EGX-listed stocks trade thinly, so large orders can move the price and exits may take time. Frontier and emerging markets can be more volatile than developed ones.
  • Dividends & withholding tax. Dividends may be subject to local withholding tax, which varies by country and any double-taxation treaty. Net dividends are converted to USD and credited to your account. Consult a tax adviser for your situation.
