NGX suspends trading in Aluminium Extrusion Industries Plc over unfiled accounts. The Nigerian Exchange halted trading in the stock effective 22 July under its default-filing rules after the company failed to submit audited FY2025 accounts — a routine but structural disclosure-enforcement action under NGX's Issuers' Rulebook. NGX notice

Egypt's FRA launches IPO-readiness training for state-owned enterprises. The programme begins 26 July, preparing roughly 20 already-listed and 30 further state-owned companies on listing, disclosure and governance requirements as Egypt continues its privatisation and EGX listing pipeline. Capacity-building rather than a rule change, but relevant context for the pace of the SOE listing programme. Amwal Al Ghad coverage
