On March 12th, the financial regulator chief announced that the same-day trading mechanism which is known as T+0 will return to the Egyptian market very soon, by the end of next June at the maximum.

Dr. Ashraf El-Sharkawy – the Chairman of the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA) – noted that the T+0 settlement mechanism will return amid the relative stability the Egyptian market currently witnesses.

Under the T+0 mechanism, traders will be allowed to sell any portion of their available stocks and then buy them again at the same session.

Settlement will also be undertaken on the same day.

It is worth noting that the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) management halted the same-day trading mechanism following the January uprising in 2011 as uncertainty swept the market.

Trading settlement in Egypt’s stock market is currently undertaken using a T+1 system for government bonds and a T+2 system for all other securities.
