The ranking is based on data collected from the Egyptian Exchange, evaluating each company’s sales, profits, and assets for the 2024 fiscal year, alongside market value as of April 25, 2025. All metrics were weighted equally, and companies with identical scores shared ranks. Firms that had not disclosed their full-year audited financials by the cutoff date were excluded. Exchange rates were calculated as of April 25, 2025.

Commercial International Bank (CIB) tops the list for the fourth consecutive year, with a market cap of $4.7 billion and $23.8 billion in assets.
