Mr. Hassan Abdalla, Governor of the CBE, emphasized that this initiative reflects the CBE’s ongoing efforts to advance and modernize the payments infrastructure by enhancing the efficiency of <a name="_Hlk231733817">the interbank Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS)</a>. He noted that the adoption of ISO 20022 lays the foundation for modern financial services, including open banking and advanced data analytics, while enabling banks and financial institutions to develop innovative banking and financial products, in line with international best practices and standards.ISO 20022 is the world’s most advanced and unified messaging standard for financial transactions that boosts the efficiency of the interbank RTGS system by enabling faster and more reliable payment processing. It also enhances the quality of payments data by allowing the inclusion of more granular and structured information within payment messages.The enhanced data, in turn, improves the cross-border payments experience by facilitating Straight-Through Processing (STP) and reducing manual intervention, ultimately accelerating transaction execution and maximizing operational efficiency.Additionally, ISO 20022 strengthens banks' capabilities to automatically screen transactions in compliance with local and international Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) recommendations. This reflects the strategic importance of the upgrade to further facilitate cross-border payments and ensure seamless integration with regional payment platforms.This step places the Egyptian RTGS system - which has been upgraded to fully comply with the ISO 20022 standard – among the most advanced settlement systems globally, reinforcing its position as a cornerstone of Egypt’s digital financial services infrastructure.https://en.firstbankeg.com/13072https://en.firstbankeg.com/13072Egyptian Exchange Closes sunday, June 21 Session with EGX30 Up 0.11% Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:18:40 +02002026-06-21T15:18:40+02:00The market capitalization of listed shares on the Egyptian Exchange’s main market closed trading on sunday, June 21, 2026, at EGP 3.761 trillion.The benchmark EGX30 index rose by 0.11% to close at 52.679 points.Investors traded 221 stocks, of which 121 advanced, 77 declined, while 23 remained unchanged.Trading volume reached approximately 2.44 billion shares executed through 212.7 thousand transactions, with total trading value amounting to EGP 9.6 billion.https://en.firstbankeg.com/13070https://en.firstbankeg.com/13070Kerolous MarzoukCurrency rates at the start of Sunday tradingSun, 21 Jun 2026 10:31:20 +02002026-06-21T10:31:20+02:00The foreign exchange rates witnessed stability at the start of Sunday 21 June 2026 trading at Egyptian banks.
