The Ministry of Finance revealed that it aims to offer T-bill and bond issuances worth EGP 425.75bn in August, as part of a government plan aimed at borrowing EGP 1.106trn from the local market during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2023/2024, to pay previous dues for debt instruments, and finance the budget deficit.
The Ministry of Finance's plan includes 20 T-bill issuances worth EGP 412bn and 10 bond issuances worth EGP 13.750bn.
In detail, the plan includes 5 T-bill issuances worth EGP 113.5bn for a period of 91 days, and the same for a value of EGP 93.5bn for a period of 182 days, and 5 bids for a value of EGP 86.5bn for a period of 273 days, and the same for a period of 364 days at a value of EGP 118.5bn.
