The Central Bank of Egypt raised interest rates by 100 basis points—the first increase in about two and a half years—bringing the overnight deposit and lending rates to 20% and 21%, respectively. The move aims to curb inflationary pressures, support the Egyptian pound and attract foreign investors. Experts say the decision could ease demand for dollars, but it will raise financing and production costs and weigh on industry and exports.
