The National Bank of Egypt announced the amendment of the fixed interest rates for the new gold certificate in US dollars issued by the bank for a period of 3 years, as well as the dollar certificates of the people of Egypt with terms of 5 years and 7 years, for new issues of certificates starting from October 9.
The bank said, in a statement today, Saturday, that these dollar certificates can be saved through all of the bank’s branches or through the Al-Ahly Net application to facilitate customers.
He added that these returns are applied to new issues of dollar certificates available to his clients or whose existing dollar certificates have expired, and they are automatically determined on the same type of issuance with the new interest in the event of the client’s request.
