What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 9,216 in 12 months on the 364-day bill
Put EGP 100,000 into the 364-day bill at this auction and you get back EGP 109,216 after 12 months: EGP 9,216 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 768 a month.
That is EGP 23 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: EGP 4,522 on the 182-day bill (6 months).
The government pays the full amount at maturity; the risk is Egypt’s government not paying, and the money is locked until then.
