In the Egyptian market, valuation is not only about financial performance or growth anymore. A big part of mispricing comes from what we can call negative intangibles, like weak governance, low transparency, unclear strategy, or lack of trust in management. These factors don’t show directly in the financial statements, but they strongly affect how investors see the company and its risk. In Egypt, where disclosure is not always consistent and market sentiment can change quickly, these issues explain why some loss-making companies trade at high prices, while other strong companies trade below their real value.

Starting a company in Egypt is often perceived as a relatively straightforward process, limited to incorporation procedures and initial registration fees. In practice, however, the principal financial burden arises from continuous statutory and administrative obligations imposed throughout the company's lifecycle.
