The Central Bank of Egypt will issue EGP 80 billion in treasury bills tomorrow, with maturities ranging from three months to one year, in coordination with the Ministry of Finance, to finance the budget deficit.
Treasury bills are defined as government debt instruments issued for maturities ranging from three months to one year; therefore, they are considered short-term securities.
Central Bank Offerings
According to the Central Bank's website, the value of the first offering is approximately EGP 35 billion for a 182-day term, while the value of the second offering is EGP 45 billion for a 364-day term.
The Ministry of Finance authorizes the Central Bank, throughout the fiscal year, to manage its own offerings of treasury bills and bonds in Egyptian pounds, with the proceeds to be financed and spent on items in the state's general budget for the current fiscal year. Interest Rates
The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Egypt decided, in its meeting on July 10, to maintain the overnight deposit and lending rates, and the rate of the central bank's main operation at 24.00%, 25.00%, and 24.50%, respectively. The credit and discount rates were also kept at 24.50%.
