poses Central Bank New treasury bills denominated in the Egyptian pound will be issued tomorrow, Sunday, March 1, 2026, with a total value of 95 billion pounds, on behalf of the Egyptian Ministry of Finance, to be issued on March 3, 2026, as part of the state’s plan to manage liquidity and provide the necessary funding for the general budget.
The proposals vary between three different terms, allowing banks and financial institutions to have short- and medium-term investment options that meet their needs for liquidity and financial portfolio management.
Details of new proposals
- 25 billion pounds with a maturity of 91 days, maturing on June 2, 2026.
- 45 billion pounds for a period of 273 days, maturing on December 1, 2026.
- 25 billion pounds with a maturity of 336 days, maturing on February 2, 2027.
This offering comes within the framework of the government’s efforts to enhance liquidity in the local currency, manage financing needs, and support the implementation of various economic projects, reflecting the continued reliance on short-term debt instruments as a main mechanism for closing the budget deficit.
Treasury bills are among the most prominent low-risk government borrowing tools, as they are widely accepted by banks and investors, especially in light of the relatively high interest levels in the local market, which enhance the attractiveness of the returns on these instruments.
These proposals coincide with a state of anticipation in the markets for the decisions of the Central Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee regarding interest rates, given their direct impact on the cost of government borrowing and the required return on domestic debt instruments.
