At the Treasury bill auction dated 30 May 2006, the Central Bank of Egypt cleared the 182-day bill at 8.70% (down 3 basis points). The rate shown is the weighted average yield of accepted bids.
Demand was strong: bids totalled EGP 2.7bn against EGP 1.5bn on offer, 183% of the amount sought, and EGP 1.5bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 182-day rate has ranged from 7.90% to 9.80%.

What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 4,352 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 104,352 after 6 months: EGP 4,352 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 725 a month.
That is EGP 13 less than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Egypt’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
