Egypt has returned to international debt markets by reopening existing bond issuances worth $500 million, with an average tenor of five years, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Finance.

The transaction included $150 million in three-year bonds maturing in 2030 and $350 million in six-year bonds maturing in 2033.

The Ministry of Finance reaffirmed its commitment to reducing the external debt of budget-sector entities by $1 billion to $2 billion annually, building on progress already achieved in this area.

The ministry also emphasized its commitment to maintaining the pace of economic and fiscal reforms, noting that the recent success of public and private sector offerings reflects improving investor confidence in Egypt’s economy.

It added that the government has secured its financing needs by diversifying funding sources through several international debt instruments, including sovereign sukuk issued in October 2025, social bonds in May 2026, and sustainable Samurai bonds in June 2026.

The proceeds from these issuances are earmarked to support sustainable development goals.
