Two of Egypt's public lenders introduced on Monday new pound-denominated saving certificates to be bought by individuals in foreign currency at the highest yearly yield of 15 percent, Al-Ahram news website reported. The new certificates offered by the National Bank of Egypt (NBE) and Banque Misr coincide with the Central Bank's fresh decision to depreciate the rate of the local currency against the US-dollar to reach EGP 8.85. NBE, Banque Misr and Banque de Caire announced on Sunday the offering of Euro-denominated certificates to Egyptian expats starting at a minimum of €100 and its multiples. Last month, the three banks introduced 'Beladi' (my country), a US-dollar-denominated debt tool to Egyptians abroad to shore up Egypt's depleting foreign currency resources. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/190955.aspx
