GB Capital, one of Egypt’s leading non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs), announced that it has been awarded the prestigious MSI 20000® International Certification during an international ceremony organized by COFICERT under the patronage of IGSF at Euronext Paris. The achievement underscores the company’s strong financial position and its commitment to adopting global best practices in corporate governance and financial management.

The certification was granted following a comprehensive financial assessment and audit based on an advanced framework of financial standards, indicators, and analytical models designed to evaluate the company’s compliance with the MSI 20000® Standard. Recognized as one of the leading international benchmarks for assessing corporate financial quality, the standard evaluates financial strength and performance, the effectiveness of assets, liquidity, liability, risk, and resource management, as well as profitability, sustainability, and long-term value creation.

The international ceremony brought together officials and delegations from nearly 20 countries, alongside representatives from the European Commission, the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the EU Global Facility, highlighting the growing importance of financial and non-financial certifications in strengthening market confidence and supporting international trade and investment.

Commenting on the achievement, Sharif Abdelnour, Chief Executive Officer of GB Capital, said: “Receiving the MSI 20000® Certification marks a strategic milestone in GB Capital’s journey. It reflects the strength of our business model, the robustness of our financial framework, and our unwavering commitment to the highest standards of governance, transparency, and institutional discipline. This international recognition reinforces our ability to deliver sustainable and responsible growth while creating long-term value for our customers, partners, and all stakeholders.”

He added: “We continue to pursue a long-term vision built on operational excellence, innovation, and prudent financial management, supporting our expansion plans and further strengthening GB Capital’s leadership in the non-bank financial services sector in line with international best practices.”

Sherif Tawadros, Chief Financial Officer of GB Capital, stated: “The MSI 20000® Certification reflects the strength of the company’s financial position and operational performance while providing independent validation of the effectiveness of our financial management and risk management practices, as well as our ability to maintain strong levels of solvency and financial sustainability.”

He continued: “This international certification strengthens the confidence of investors, lenders, and business partners, reinforcing GB Capital’s position as a trusted financial institution distinguished by credibility and transparency. It also provides us with an additional competitive advantage, enhancing our ability to access new financing opportunities and establish strategic partnerships that support our future growth ambitions.”

As part of its strategy to adopt internationally recognized standards in governance and compliance, GB Capital has also initiated the process of obtaining the AML 30001 Certification, one of the leading international standards for evaluating anti-money laundering (AML) and compliance management systems. This initiative will further strengthen the company’s risk management framework and institutional compliance while demonstrating its commitment to aligning with global best practices in the financial sector.

GB Capital’s achievement of the MSI 20000® Certification at Euronext Paris, together with the commencement of the AML 30001 certification process, reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its financial capabilities, enhancing its governance and compliance framework, and reinforcing its position as a trusted partner in the non-bank financial services industry. These efforts are driven by a long-term vision focused on delivering sustainable and responsible growth in accordance with the highest international standards.

The MSI 20000® Certification is a globally recognized benchmark for financial governance quality. It is based on a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s financial strength and performance and serves as a trusted reference for investors, creditors, business partners, and other stakeholders. The certification also supports the adoption of best practices in financial management while promoting transparency and continuous improvement.
