Ahmed Kouchouk, Minister of Finance, announced the launch of the “Citizen Bond” for individuals starting next Sunday through post offices across Egypt. The move comes as part of the Ministry of Finance’s efforts to provide a savings and investment instrument offering a distinctive fixed periodic return, paid monthly over a period of 18 months.

The minister explained that the bond is easy to redeem and enjoys a high level of safety, giving citizens an attractive opportunity to invest directly and securely in government securities. He added that this issuance aligns with the ministry’s strategy to diversify government investment tools and expand the investor base by introducing safe savings and investment products that meet the needs of various segments of society.

Kouchouk noted that post offices will serve as the exclusive channel for offering and selling the Citizen Bond, within the framework of an institutional partnership aimed at facilitating citizens’ access to this investment instrument across all governorates.

For her part, Dalia El-Baz, Chairwoman of Egypt Post, said that selecting the postal service as the exclusive outlet during the first phase reflects confidence in its operational capabilities and its national role in supporting the implementation of the state’s financial policies. She added that post offices will deliver the service in accordance with regulations set by the Ministry of Finance, ensuring smooth procedures and high service quality.
