The Central Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) cut interest rates by 0.5% on deposits and lending, during its meeting at the end of last week, bringing the rate of return on deposits to 8.75%, and on lending to 9.75%.

CBE lowered its key overnight deposit rate by 50 bps to 8.75% during its September meeting, bringing borrowing costs to its lowest since November of 2015.

These changes in interest rates resulted in similar changes in the interest rate of variable-return savings certificates in a number of banks.

Today, bank administrations were reviewing the rates of return on savings certificates and deposits, in line with the new cut in interest rates by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE).
