It explained that the growth rate in the total deposits in banks amounted to about 18.22% during October 2021, compared to 17.71% in September, pointing out that the growth rate in deposits in local currency recorded 21.5% compared to 21%, while the growth rate of deposits in foreign currencies was 0.5%, compared to -0.3%.

Additionally, the share of deposits in foreign currencies decreased to 13.10% of the total deposits in banks in October 2021, compared to 13.17% in September.

Also, the volume of government deposits in banks reached EGP 1.2trn, compared to the EGP 1.166trn recorded in September 2021.

Government deposits were divided into local currency deposits amounting to EGP 1.059trn and the equivalent of about EGP 141.182bn in foreign currencies.

According to the CBE, non-governmental deposits recorded EGP 4.990trn in October 2021, compared to the previous month’s EGP 4.910trn, including deposits in local currency worth EGP 4.324trn and foreign currency deposits equivalent to EGP 665.370bn.

The CBE added that the household sector accounted for 82.7% of total deposits in banks until the end of October 2021.

According to the CBE, the household sector accounted for about 85% of the total deposits in local currency, amounting to about EGP 3.660trn, while its share of deposits in foreign currencies amounted to about 67.7%, which is EGP 439.435bn.

Moreover, It pointed out that the public business sector’s share of total non-governmental deposits in local currency amounted to about EGP 84.8bn, the private sector EGP 453.787bn, while the share of non-residents amounted to EGP 16.285bn.

It also said that the private business sector obtained about 60.2% of the total non-governmental credit facilities granted by banks to the various economic sectors, pointing out that the industry sector came at the forefront of the sectors financed by banks.

It also explained that loans granted to the agricultural sector in foreign currencies amounted to EGP 3.369bn, compared to EGP 3.283bn, an estimated increase of EGP 86m; the loans granted to the industrial sector declined to EGP 114.361bn, compared to EGP 115.468bn, a decrease estimated at EGP 1.107bn; and the loans granted to the trade sector recorded about EGP 13.083bn, compared to EGP 12.968bn, an increase of about EGP 115m.

In a different context, the CBE said that net domestic assets increased during the period from July to October 2021 by EGP 432.8bn, or 8.5%, as a result of an increase in domestic credit by EGP 232.4bn at a rate of 4.3% and a decrease in the negative balance of net budget items by EGP 200.4bn at a rate of 63.5%.

It explained that domestic credit increased as a result of an increase in net liabilities from the government by EGP 152bn, from the private sector by EGP 45.3bn, from the household sector by EGP 38.2bn, and from the public business sector by EGP 3.1bn.

On the other hand, the CBE also revealed a decrease in the net foreign assets of the banking system by EGP 137.5bn during the period from July to October 2021 to reach about EGP 186.313bn.

It explained that this decline came as a result of the decrease in its net foreign assets by EGP 32.6bn and the decrease in net foreign assets at banks, by EGP 104.9bn.
