Arab Finance: Banque Misr’s proceeds from the sale of the new 25%-yield certificates of deposit (CDs) reached EGP 39 billion since Wednesday, January 4th, the bank’s Chairman Mohamed El-Etreby told Middle East News Agency (MENA) on January 9th.

The offering of the CDs with an interest rate of 25% aims at tackling inflation and dollarization, El-Etreby noted, referring to the high demand for purchasing these CDs by citizens.

On January 4th, both Banque Misr and the National Bank of Egypt (NBE) announced the issuance of the new one-year CD with an annual interest rate of 25%; to be disbursed annually to purchasers.
