What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 20,274 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 120,274 after 12 months: EGP 20,274 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 1,690 a month.
That is EGP 220 less than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: EGP 10,187 on the 182-day bill (6 months), EGP 5,066 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.
