The size of outstanding balances of treasury bonds (T-bonds) owed by the government by the end of September 2017 registered EGP 667.9bn, according to the Ministry of Finance.
A recent report issued by the Ministry of Finance details two types of bonds in Egyptian pounds. The first is the coupon yield bond. Its balance stands at EGP 657.94bn, with an average return rate of 14.222%. These bonds were put forward from 12 February 2008 until 15 August 2017. The interest rate on these bonds ranges between 9.15% and 18.75%.
According to the Ministry of Finance, balances of the second type of bond, zero coupon bonds, are at EGP 9.95bn, and their average yield is of 14.074%.
Zero coupon bonds were issued between 15 April and 4 October 2016. The average interest rate on these bonds is between 14.259% and 16.514%.

Banks working in the Egyptian market are considered the biggest investors in bonds and treasury bills, which the government issues on a regular basis to cover the state budget deficit.
Treasury bonds and bills are proposed through 15 banks, which are the primary dealers in the primary market. These banks resell a portion of these bills and bonds in the secondary market to retail investors, as well as local and foreign institutions.
