What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 5,310 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 105,310 after 6 months: EGP 5,310 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 885 a month.
That is EGP 199 more 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.
