CAIRO – 26 November 2024: The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has withdrawn LE 1.135 trillion in liquidity from 26 banks through its latest open market operation, applying an interest rate of 27.75 percent.
This comes after a withdrawal of LE 792.050 billion last week under the same mechanism.
In April 2024, the CBE updated its policies for main deposit operations under the open market framework.
The new approach, known as “full allotment,” ensures all bids from banks are accepted proportionally based on their share of the total, applying the official interest rate.
The changes aim to improve the effectiveness of monetary policy decisions and adopt global best practices for managing excess liquidity.
The CBE now publishes the results of each operation on its official website to promote transparency.
These adjustments underline the bank’s commitment to enhancing its monetary tools and ensuring a more effective transmission of its policy measures to the economy.
