The Finance Ministry is looking to secure USD 1.5-2 bn in fresh loans by 4Q 2023<\/strong>, Finance Minister Mohamed Maait told A<\/a> sharq Busines<\/a> s<\/a> in an interview. This includes a planned USD 500 mn CNY-denominated panda bond issuance and a second JPY-denominated samurai issuance<\/a> worth USD 500 mn<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This target has tempered somewhat from July<\/strong>, when the minister said the government was targeting USD 3 bn in fresh debt raises<\/a> before the end of the year. <\/p>\n

Remember: <\/strong> Egypt has only tapped the international debt markets once since March 2022<\/a> after the knock-on effects of the war in Ukraine and tighter global financial conditions all but locked us out of the international debt markets and raised concerns about Egypt\u2019s debt sustainability.<\/p>\n

Progress on panda issuance next week? <\/strong> The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank<\/a>(AIIB) is expected to approve ins. coverage worth USD 230 mn for our panda bond issuance in a meeting in Cairo on 21 September, Maait told the news outlet. The African Development Bank<\/a>(AfDB) has said it will provide USD 345 mn in ins. coverage for the issuance. The money will be used to fund sustainable development projects.<\/p>\n

Refresher: <\/strong> The government is facing a USD 17 bn external financing gap<\/a> between 2023 and 2026, according to the IMF, which it is trying to fill via a mixture of state asset sales, new concessional financing from multilateral lenders, higher tourism revenues, and increasing exports, as well as the USD 3 bn IMF loan. The country\u2019s external debt bill rose to a record USD 165.4 bn<\/a> by the end of March 2023<\/p>\n

1H 2023 was expensive for debt repayments: <\/strong> The government spent USD 25.5 bn on debt servicing costs during the first half of the year, Maait said in an interview with the state MENA news agency<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

Putting this in perspective: <\/strong>The state paid off USD 52 bn in principal and interest across the entire 2021-22 and 2022-23 fiscal years, the minister said.<\/p>\n

Things don\u2019t let up in the coming months and years: <\/strong> The government has another USD 15.1 bn in short- and long-term debt repayments during the second half of this year, followed by another USD 46.3 bn in medium- and long-term repayments during 2024 and 2025, according to the most recently-available central bank figures (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
