What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 2,797 in 3 months on the 91-day bill
Put EGP 100,000 into the 91-day bill at this auction and you get back EGP 102,797 after 3 months: EGP 2,797 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 932 a month.
That is EGP 117 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.
