Egyptian companies with foreign shareholders have a reporting obligation to the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI). The obligation was introduced by Law No. 141 of 2019, which amended Investment Law No. 72 of 2017, and is implemented by Prime Ministerial Decrees Nos. 2731 and 2732 of 2019. Helmy Law prepares and files these reports as part of its corporate compliance service.
What the reporting covers
- Reports when the company’s capital, shareholding or other key details change
- Periodic statistical reports on the company’s foreign-investment position
- Annual reporting
The reports are filed with GAFI using its prescribed forms.
Why it matters
Late or missing reports can lead to penalties for the person responsible for the company’s actual management and can delay the ratification of corporate decisions. For foreign-owned companies, reporting is part of staying in good standing, alongside general assemblies and commercial-register updates.
How we help
- Confirming whether your company is within the scope of the reporting rules
- Checking your current reporting position and any outstanding reports
- Preparing and filing each report with GAFI in time
- Adding the reporting dates to your corporate compliance calendar
