The CBE also announced a raise of the overnight deposit rate, the overnight lending rate, and the rate of the main operation by 600 basis points to 27.25 percent, 28.25 percent, and 27.75 percent, respectively. The discount rate was also raised by 600 basis points to 27.75 percent. These measures are intended to address Egypt's economic challenges, including high inflation. EPA/KHALED ELFIQI
