Egypt is shopping its government bond offerings abroad, seeking better terms than it's been able to get domestically.

The government has started sending representatives to meet with potential major investors in Asia and Europe, starting in South Korea. Cairo hopes to lower the yields it must pay to investors to secure money to pay off maturing debts, and wants to increase financial liquidity and investment flow into the country.
