Citizen Bond will be offered again nationwide through post offices over the coming days, following strong demand during the initial issuance, which generated significant proceeds within three weeks.
The bonds offer a fixed annual return of 17.75 per cent, net of taxes, paid monthly over an 18-month period. They carry a nominal value of EGP 1,000 and its multiples, with a minimum investment of EGP 10,000. The minister described them as a secure, direct investment in government securities, designed to provide citizens with a stable monthly income.
He added that the government is keen to introduce attractive savings and investment instruments that deliver regular returns. Investors will be able to redeem the bonds, in whole or in part, after four months, in accordance with the announced rules at post offices.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to expand financial inclusion and encourage citizens to channel their savings into secure investment vehicles.
By offering a high fixed return and flexible redemption options, the Citizen Bond aims to boost confidence in government securities and provide households with a reliable savings tool amid global economic challenges.
