Cairo – Mubasher: The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) will issue treasury bills (T-bills) worth EGP 13.25 billion on Thursday in coordination with the Ministry of Finance (MOF) to finance the budget deficit.
The first tranche of T-bills will be offered through 182-day notes at EGP 6.5 billion, while the second offering will be through 364-day notes at EGP 6.75 billion, the CBE added on its official website.
Egyptian debt instruments are attracting a large number of foreign investors, especially T-bills, as the yield on bonds exceeded.
The MOF had previously posted that the issuance of T-bonds and bills rose 51% year-on-year during the second quarter of fiscal year 2017/2018.
