Figures obtained by Daily News Egypt indicated the government's intention to expand the process of borrowing from the domestic market, to fill the chronic deficit in the state's budget significantly, during the last quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2018/2019.
According to those figures, the Ministry of Finance intends to offer bids for treasury bills (T-bills) and bonds worth EGP 475.5bn between July and September this year, making it the largest borrowing rate through debt instruments in Egyptian history.
A plan by the Ministry of Finance, obtained by Daily News Egypt, revealed that the government is targeting issuing T-bills worth EGP 433bn and T-bonds worth EGP 42.5bn.
The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), which is carrying out the task on behalf of the government, is offering bids for T-bonds and bills worth EGP 182bn in July, another tranche of EGP 147bn in August, and EGP 146.5bn in September.
The CBE will float 91-day T-bills worth EGP 108.25bn, 182-day bills of the same value, 273-day worth EGP 105bn, and 364-day bills worth EGP 111.5bn, according to the plan.
