The Central Bank of Egypt will hold a meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee on August 18 to discuss the fate of interest on deposit and lending, in its fifth meeting during 2022.
The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Egypt decided to fix interest rates during its last meeting in June, to settle at the level of 11.25% for deposits and 12.25% for lending.
The Central Bank’s decision to fix interest came following raising it 3% during two meetings, by 1% last March, which was the first time in five years, and 2% at once in its next meeting last May, in an attempt to curb inflation, and absorb the shock of the Federal Reserve’s move to raise interest rates on the dollar. and the negative consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
