Egypt to allow individuals trade treasury bills via brokers
Egypt is preparing to enable individuals to purchase and sell government treasury bills (T-bills) through brokerage firms within the next three to four months.
Currently, only selected banks, designated as major dealers, are authorized to acquire and trade government debt instruments issued by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) on behalf of the Ministry of Finance.
However, Egypt plans to expand the issuance of domestic financial instruments by around 33% to reach EGP 2.709 trillion ($57.4 billion) in the upcoming fiscal year (FY) 2024/2025. This represents a significant increase from the estimated EGP 2.03 trillion in the current FY.
Points clés à retenir
Enabling individuals to buy and sell government treasury bills (T-bills) through brokerage firms enhances retail participation in Egypt's financial markets. This move democratizes access to government securities, allowing retail investors to diversify their investment portfolios and benefit from the relatively low-risk nature of T-bills. Expanding participation beyond major banks fosters a more inclusive financial ecosystem, empowering individuals to engage in wealth-building opportunities. Additionally, increased retail participation promotes market liquidity and stability while driving economic growth by channeling capital into government initiatives and stimulating investment activity.
