Translation of Law No. 93 of 2000

This document presents the Translation of Law No. 93 of 2000, known as The Central Depository and Registry of Securities Law, which constitutes a cornerstone of the Egyptian capital market framework. Law No. 93 of 2000 establishes the legal structure for the safe custody, registration, transfer, and settlement of securities through licensed central depository and registry entities. By setting out the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of issuers, intermediaries, and depository institutions, The Central Depository and Registry of Securities Law aims to promote transparency, efficiency, and investor confidence in Egypt’s financial markets.

The Translation of Law No. 93 of 2000 seeks to make the provisions of this legislation accessible to non-Arabic speakers, foreign investors, advisors, and compliance professionals who interact with the Egyptian market. Because Law No. 93 of 2000 governs essential processes such as dematerialization of securities, registration of ownership, and the clearing and settlement of transactions, an accurate and reliable translation is critical. This translation of The Central Depository and Registry of Securities Law supports a clearer understanding of the legal environment and helps ensure that obligations and protections are interpreted consistently across languages.

In addition to the main law, the regulatory framework is further detailed in the Executive Regulations No. 906 of 2001, which elaborate on the practical application and procedures arising from Law No. 93 of 2000. The Executive Regulations No. 906 of 2001 provide implementing rules on licensing conditions, operational requirements for depository and registry entities, and the mechanisms for supervision and enforcement. When read together with The Central Depository and Registry of Securities Law, these regulations form an integrated system that governs how securities are deposited, registered, transferred, and monitored in the Egyptian market.

This Translation of Law No. 93 of 2000 is intended as a professional reference tool to support legal, compliance, and operational teams in understanding and applying the law in practice. By presenting The Central Depository and Registry of Securities Law and the related Executive Regulations No. 906 of 2001 in clear and structured language, the document aims to facilitate cross-border transactions, enhance regulatory alignment, and assist stakeholders in meeting their obligations under Egyptian law.
