domestic debt

At the first auction on sale of government securities this year, the demand for securities significantly exceeded the volume of the offered issue, fixing the interest of credit organizations to place liquidity in short-term debt instruments with high yields, Logos Press reports.

In August 2025, the total public debt amounted to LE 125.7 billion, increasing mainly due to the growth of the state’s domestic borrowing, Logos Press reported.

Since the beginning of the year, demand for government securities has exceeded the supply of the Ministry of Finance by 28%, and for one-year government securities by almost 50%,” Logos Press reported.

The total public debt will continue to grow at a high rate. The official data published by the NBM for February 2025 show that the targeted ceiling of the state’s debt on domestic and foreign markets is certain to be exceeded,” Logos Press reported.
