The Central Bank of Egypt has allowed companies operating in the private sectors of industry, agriculture, and services, with an annual turnover/revenue of up to 50 million Egyptian pounds, to use its low-cost funding program. This initiative was approved during a board meeting on June 14, 2020, that also amended the previous program launched in December 2019. The new scheme will offer companies an interest rate of 8% annually, payable over one year. Businesses classified as 'small' or 'medium-sized enterprises' are eligible for this funding, depending on their financial statements and balance sheets.
