CAIRO – 29 March 2026: Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk announced that the government is set to relaunch the Citizen Bond in the coming days via post offices across the country, following strong public interest in the initial issuance, which attracted substantial subscriptions within only three weeks.
In a statement released on Sunday, Kouchouk said the bond offers a fixed annual return of 17.75 %, exempt from taxes, with payments distributed monthly over an 18-month period.
He noted that the new offering provides citizens with a secure and straightforward avenue to invest directly in government-backed financial instruments.
According to the minister, the bond has a face value of EGP 1,000 and can be purchased in multiples of that amount, with a minimum subscription set at EGP 10,000.
Kouchouk emphasized that the initiative is designed to expand access to dependable savings options for individuals, delivering a consistent monthly income stream throughout the bond’s duration.
He also confirmed that investors will have the flexibility to redeem their holdings after four months, either partially or in full, subject to the applicable regulations and procedures available at post offices nationwide.
