Egypt dollar rates on August 16
On Sunday, August 16, 2026, the US dollar rate in Egypt experienced a moderate increase, reaching approximately 50.21 Egyptian pounds for purchase and 50.35 pounds for sale, according to data from the Central Bank and private banks. The rate has continued to remain above the 50-pound mark. This development comes amid Egyptian anticipation of how exchange rate fluctuations will impact the prices of goods, especially given the country's reliance on importing many products. Additionally, Egypt has for the first time approved the issuance of tax bonds financed by taxpayers, which will be deducted from their future tax liabilities, in an effort to improve the country's financial resources. Over the first 10 months of the 2025-2026 fiscal year, remittances from Egyptians working abroad grew by 33.2%, reaching $39.2 billion compared to $29.4 billion during the same period last year.
