What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 13,377 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 113,377 after 12 months: EGP 13,377 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 1,115 a month.
That is EGP 21 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: EGP 6,705 on the 182-day bill (6 months), EGP 3,276 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.
