The Finance <\/strong>Ministry<\/strong> is moving beyond simple debt reduction toward a<\/strong> structural overhaul of the local bond market. <\/strong>The finalized public debt strategy \u2014 already briefed to the cabinet \u2014 aims to aggressively lengthen average maturities to 4.5-5 years, slash interest costs by 4% of GDP to 7%, and bring the debt-to-GDP ratio down to below 75% over the next three years, a senior government official tells EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

The ministry is preparing to launch 15-year local bonds for the first time <\/strong>in a move designed to \u201cextend the debt tenor and reduce the burden of maturities within a single fiscal year,\u201d our source tells us. This is part of a broader reopening strategy where the government will stop launching fragmented new issuances and instead build up existing bonds to EGP 25 bn each \u2014 a key requirement for re-inclusion in major emerging market indices. Simultaneously, the secondary market is being democratized, allowing individual retail investors to trade T-bills and bonds directly on the EGX.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong>For years, Egypt has been trapped in a refinancing wall, constantly rolling over short-term debt at high costs. By pushing maturities toward a five-year average and targeting a drop in interest payments, the state is trying to claw back fiscal space. If successful, this reduces the crowding out of the private sector and signals to international markets that the era of emergency short-term borrowing is ending.<\/p>\n

Local borrowing will continue to shoulder the lion\u2019s share of the financing gap to hedge <\/strong>against exchange rate volatility. <\/strong>The strategy maintains a domestic-to-foreign financing ratio of 65% to 35%. To deepen the local market, the ministry plans to roll out green bonds, zero-coupon bonds, variable-rate instruments, and specific tools targeted at expats, we\u2019re told.<\/p>\n

In a move to de-risk the balance sheet, the ministry is cutting back on the guarantees it <\/strong>provides to government entities.<\/strong> Borrowing entities must now prove they can generate sufficient cashflow to service debt independently. \u201cWe are re-evaluating risk to reflect a portfolio management approach besides the current one focusing on analyzing specific state-owned firms,\u201d the source noted.<\/p>\n
