EGYPT: The Islamic asset management industry tracked by the IFN Investor Funds Database for Egypt saw a 26.34% increase in total AuM to US$71.66 million for H1 2025, up from US$56.72 million in the second half of 2024.
This bullish outlook is expected to continue for the rest of the year as the IMF has revised its forecast for Egypt’s real GDP growth in fiscal year 2025/2026 to 4.5%, up from its July estimate of 4.1%. The IMF also anticipates inflation to be lower at 11.8% for the year, compared to the average of 20.4% for the previous period.
For the funds industry in H1 2025, the equities segment advanced 24.36% to US$8.68 million, reflecting renewed investor appetite amid improving market sentiment and macroeconomic stability – which supported flows into listed Shariah compliant instruments.
Commodities, represented by a single Islamic fund, surged 59.17% to US$32.41 million, largely attributable to the global rally in gold prices during the period. Money market funds grew 6.3% to US$19.95 million, underscoring continued demand for liquid and low-risk instruments, while mixed asset portfolios remained stable at US$10.63 million.
