One million and 736 thousand pensioners in Egypt had disbursed on Thursday their pensions totalling EGP 1.773 billion, the country’s social solidarity minster Ghada Waly said. The disbursement of pensions continued during the day until 7 pm throughout the country’s social insurance outlets, postal offices and ATMs.
The minister assured in press statements that ahead of the Prophet’s birth and the Christian Copts’ feasts, all the branches of Nasser Social Bank, social insurance and postal offices would be opened on Saturday to serve the pensioners and disburse their dues instead of the 10th day of the month.
