The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has offered on Sunday, 9 January, treasury bills (T-bills) and bonds (T-bonds) at a combined value of EGP 21.25 billion through four auctions, according to official data.

The T-bills notes were worth EGP 20 billion through two issues, with the first one standing at EGP 13 billion in value and carrying a 182-day tenor until 12 July this year.

The second T-bills offering totals EGP 7 billion and holds a maturity period of 364 days until 10 January 2023.

As for the T-bonds, the CBE auctioned EGP 1.25 billion worth of notes through two tranches. The first offering amounted to EGP 750 million and will carry a two-year tenor until 11 January 2024.

The other T-bonds issue stands at EGP 500 million and will mature in 10 years on 11 January 2032.
