What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 5,795 in 6 months on the 182-day bill
Put EGP 100,000 into the 182-day bill at this auction and you get back EGP 105,795 after 6 months: EGP 5,795 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 966 a month.
That is EGP 77 less than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: EGP 2,761 on the 91-day bill (3 months).
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Egypt’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
