Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 5,903 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 105,903 after 6 months: EGP 5,903 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 984 a month.
That is EGP 19 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.
