What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 11,417 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 111,417 after 12 months: EGP 11,417 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 951 a month.
That is EGP 106 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: EGP 5,227 on the 182-day bill (6 months), EGP 2,460 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.
