The Central Bank of Egypt has announced the issuance of treasury bonds worth EGP 10.5 billion, aiming to bolster liquidity in domestic financial markets.
According to details published on the Central Bank’s official website, the fixed-yield bonds will be divided into two separate offerings. The first issuance amounts to EGP 10 billion, structured over a three-year term. Investors participating in this tranche will receive an annual return, with the coupon rate set at 23.44%.
The second issuance totals EGP 500 million and carries a five-year maturity. This tranche will pay returns on a semi-annual basis, offering a coupon rate of 19.94%.
The offerings are part of the Central Bank of Egypt’s ongoing efforts to manage market liquidity while attracting local and foreign investors to government debt instruments. The fixed-yield bonds provide predictable returns for institutional and private investors, offering a hedge against inflationary pressures in the current economic climate.
Treasury bonds have become a central tool for the Egyptian government to finance budgetary needs, while also serving as an investment opportunity for banks and asset managers seeking stable income streams. Market observers suggest the relatively high coupon rates reflect efforts to maintain investor confidence amid global economic uncertainties and domestic fiscal requirements.
The Central Bank frequently issues treasury bonds as part of its monetary policy operations, working to regulate liquidity, stabilize the currency, and support the government’s financing strategy. These latest offerings will be closely monitored by both local and international investors, as the yields remain among the most competitive in emerging markets.
The auction results, which are expected to be released shortly after the closing of bids, will provide insight into investor appetite and the broader outlook for Egypt’s debt market.
