For Kuwaiti deposits, the CBE has adjusted the payments schedule to be paid over two installments starting with a payment of $2 billion in the second half of 2019, and $2.03 billion to be paid in the first half of 2020. Kuwaiti deposits to Egypt record $4.109 billion as of last July, including two deposits worth $2 billion for each, according to CBE data. For Emirati deposits, Egypt is to pay $1.183 billion in 2020, $2.155 billion in 2021, $1.456 billion in 2022, and $1.052 billion in 2023, with an increase in the total of the installments sums to reach $722 million in the first half of 2022, up from $33 million. By the end of June 2019, Arab debt deposits reached $23.5 billion. Saudi Arabia accounts for 8.3 percent of that amount, the United Arab Emirates 8.1 percent, and Kuwait five percent. |
