Egypt did not request extending maturity of CBE $2bn Kuwaiti deposit: senior government official
UAE agreed to extend the maturity of its $2bn deposit with CBE until July 2023
Hossam Mounir Published in Daily News Egypt on 09 - 12 - 2017

A senior government official denied that Egypt has requested extending the maturity of a $2bn Kuwaiti deposit at the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) that was due to mature in July 2018.
Egypt's CBE received the $2bn deposit from Kuwait in September 2013, as part of $12bn received in aid promised to Egypt by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) following the 30 June uprising.
The official affirmed that the UAE agreed to extend the maturity date of its $2bn deposit with the CBE until July 2023.
The UAE had deposited the sum in July 2013 and it was also due to mature in July 2018.
The CBE has received another deposit, worth $1bn, from the UAE, due to mature in August 2022.
According to the official, Egypt received an initial approval from Saudi Arabia to extend maturity on its $2bn deposit with the CBE, noting that the two countries are currently in talks on the terms of the deposit.
In July 2013, Saudi Arabia deposited $2bn with the CBE that was due to mature in July 2018. Saudi Arabia deposited an additional $2bn in September 2016.
Minister of Finance Amr Al-Garhi disclosed last week that Egypt would repay $14-15bn of its debt in 2018. However, a government official denied that statement, stressing that Egypt would actually repay much less than the mentioned sum in 2018.
The source said that Egypt hopes to reach an agreement with Saudi Arabia to extend the maturity of its deposit, and hopes to do the same with other international institutions that provided the country with several loans.
According to financial reports obtained by Daily News Egypt, Egypt is set to repay about $12.9bn in 2018, including foreign debts and installments of loans obtained earlier.
Moreover, Egypt is expected to repay $9.4bn in 2019, $7.1bn in 2020, $4.3bn in 2021, $2.2bn in 2022, $4.1bn in 2023, and $1.7bn in 2024, not to mention the foreign bonds recently offered by Egypt.
