The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has announced the issuance of fixed-return sovereign sukuk denominated in Egyptian pounds, with a total value of EGP 4 billion, equivalent to approximately $77.1 million. The move comes as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to expand its financing tools.
The sukuk will have a tenor of three years and will provide investors with a fixed return, paid on a semi-annual basis. This structure is designed to attract a broad range of investors seeking stable and predictable income.
According to the announcement, subscription requests will be accepted until Monday, April 20, 2026. The issuance is scheduled for Tuesday, April 21, 2026, while the sukuk will mature on March 10, 2029.
This offering reflects Egypt’s strategy to diversify its debt instruments, strengthen funding sources, and improve public debt management, while also supporting the financing needs of the state budget.
