Egypt has agreed to sell $500 million in treasury bonds to Saudi Arabia in an agreement signed on Sunday, Planning Minister Fayza Abu El-Naga said on Monday.
The bonds are part of a package of financial support promised by Saudi Arabia a year ago. As part of the package, Riyadh earlier this month transferred $1 billion as an eight-year deposit at Egypt's central bank, Abu El-Naga said at the time.
Speaking at a new conference on Monday, she did not give the maturities of the bonds or say when they would be sold.
