Rise in Egyptian debt insurance costs
The cost of insurance on Egypt's five-year sovereign debt increased significantly during October 2026, reaching its highest level since May 2026 after rising by 7.45% compared to the previous week, to 328.03 points. This means that investors are paying 3.28% of their investment value to cover the risk of default. This uptick is attributed to tensions in the Middle East and the rising yields on U.S. bonds, which prompted investors to reassess their portfolios. Since the beginning of 2026, insurance costs have increased by 22%. According to the Central Bank, Egypt's external debt premiums and interest payments due in the second half of 2026 are estimated at approximately $16.3 billion.
