At the Treasury bill auction dated 27 October 2026, the Central Bank of Egypt cleared the 91-day bill at 24.32% (up 36 basis points), the 182-day bill at 25.17% (up 30 basis points) and the 364-day bill at 25.91% (up 21 basis points). The rate shown is the weighted average yield of accepted bids.
The auction was fully subscribed: bids totalled EGP 247.6bn against EGP 170.0bn on offer, 146% of the amount sought, and EGP 121.0bn was accepted.
At 25.91%, the 364-day rate is the highest in the 52 auctions of the past year.
A year earlier the 364-day bill cleared at 25.59%, so the government is paying 32 basis points more than twelve months ago.
What this means for EGP 100,000
Worked from the published rate · information, not advice
EGP 25,912 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 125,912 after 12 months: EGP 25,912 in interest before any withholding tax, about EGP 2,159 a month.
That is EGP 207 more than the same money would have earned at the previous auction.
For shorter money: EGP 12,583 on the 182-day bill (6 months), EGP 6,079 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.
