Egypt T-bill auction, 7 April 2026: 364-day at 24.00%, up 25 bps
At the Treasury bill auction dated 7 April 2026, the Central Bank of Egypt cleared the 91-day bill at 25.16% (up 7 basis points), the 182-day bill at 25.74% (up 42 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 24.00% (up 25 basis points). The rate shown is the weighted average yield of accepted bids.
Demand was strong: bids totalled EGP 258.5bn against EGP 140.0bn on offer, 185% of the amount sought, and EGP 66.9bn was accepted.
Over the past year the 364-day rate has ranged from 22.78% to 26.19%.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 24.96%, so the government is paying 96 basis points less than twelve months ago.
What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 24,000 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 124,000 after 12 months: EGP 24,000 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 2,000 a month.
That is EGP 246 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: EGP 12,870 on the 182-day bill (6 months), EGP 6,290 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.
