Safe economy and banking systems
Egypt's economical safeguard is a benefit for investors as in Egypt:
- Egyptian Banks do not issue credit cards, only debit cards (which means the money already exist in account to spend from).
- No mortgages on properties (newly introduced in 2008, but with a lot of approved and studied safe gaurds and regulations).
The lack of availabilty of credit has ensured that Egypt has not been affected by the world wide credit crunch and the banking economy is still strong, safe and secure.
Bank interest rates offered varies between 6 to 8% per year tax free and all Egyptian operating Banks are covered 100% by the central bank of Egypt, which is the one of the main reasons why investors are moving their finances to buy properties and open bank accounts in Egypt over the past 12 months since the credit crunch began.
