Egypt has pulled in USD 40 bn worth of inbound investment and transfers from abroad since the EGP float in November, said CBE Deputy Governor Rami Aboul Naga on Thursday. The influx comes from receipts from exports, the carry trade, and de-USDization (either on the local market or through remittances) he added according to Bloomberg.

The country managed to attract USD 15 bn to government debt since the float, said Finance Minister Amr El Garhy on Thursday in remarks to a team from ratings agency Moody’s, which was in town for one of its periodic check-ins, according to a ministry statement. The Moody’s team also met with other senior government officials; the ratings agency affirmed Egypt’s B3 rating with a stable outlook last month.

Meanwhile, average yields on six-month and one-year T-bills fell further on Thursday, following a downward trend since the CBE announced a surge in international net reserves to USD 36.036 bn, Reuters reports. Yields on one-year bill have fallen 2.25% since reserves were announced, while six-month T-bill yields fell by 2.34%.
