Dollar surges again reason behind the rise
The US dollar’s price has seen a significant rise against the Egyptian pound, approaching 54 pounds in many banks, marking an increase of between 20 and 25 piasters during today’s trading. The rise is attributed to local factors, including increased external obligations such as Egypt’s debt interest payments, the import bill estimated at around $60 billion annually, and a widening trade deficit. Additionally, higher shipping and insurance costs, along with the impact of rising oil prices on foreign currency needs, have contributed to the increase. Nevertheless, exchange rate flexibility helps absorb shocks, supported by banking buffers that bolster the economy, which lessens the impact of dollar fluctuations on the Egyptian market.
