The sources said that the plans come on the back of strong investor demand.<\/p>\n<p><b>Zero-coupon bond crash course:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/z\/zero-couponbond.asp\">Zero-coupon bonds<\/a> are debt instruments that do not pay interest, but are bought and sold at a heavy discount. Because the trading price is much lower than the bond\u2019s face value, investors make returns when the bond is redeemed at maturity. Bonds with a longer maturity period are purchased at a lower price than short-term bonds, although most zero-coupon bonds carry tenors of at least 10 years.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background:<\/b> The idea to resurrect zero-coupon bonds was floated back in December, when Egypt began prioritizing long-term debt and diversifying its sources of funding as part of its <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/03\/10\/egypt-begins-implementing-debt-reduction-strategy\/\">new strategy<\/a> to reduce its debt-to-GDP ratio to 80% by 2022. The government is keen to lower its reliance on short-term debt in FY2019-2020, which accounts for 55% of the country\u2019s total debt load, the officials told us yesterday.
