CAIRO: Egypt’s central bank said it will offer LE 8 billion ($1.345 billion) in seven-day repurchase agreements in the money market on Tuesday at a fixed rate of 9.25 percent.
The central bank introduced the weekly seven-day repo agreements on March 22 to keep short-term interest rates under control after a popular uprising ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
Last week it offered repos worth LE 6 billion and accepted repos for the same amount it had asked for.
