Collecting Gov. receipts-Taxes on Sales- FIN Copy System
The receipts of the taxes on sales from the customers’ accounts at the different banks transferred to the accounts Ministry of Finance (crediting taxes on sale) at the Central Bank via the FIN Copy System
Securities Settlement Systems• The clearing and delivery versus payment of listed
securities transactions including treasury bonds transactions are processed by a private company Misr for Clearing, settlement and Central Depository (MCSD). The payment of the cash-legs is ensured by the clearing banks (presently NBE and Misr), as well as the settlement of the final clearing balance between them.
• In order to ensure finality of payment, the final clearing balance between the Clearing banks is settled through bilateral accounts, but by means of the system prepared by the Central Bank for systemically-important payments (FIN-Copy) mechanism, then RTGS.
• This settlement mode allows the DVP process to comply with highest international standards, thus giving confidence to international investors to operate in the Egyptian market.
