The Egyptian pound slipped slightly in early trading on Thursday, 18 December, as the US dollar strengthened following recent fluctuations in the foreign exchange market.
Figures from the National Bank of Egypt (NBE) showed the dollar&rsquo;s buying rate rising to 47.54 Egyptian pounds, compared with 47.38 at the previous close. The movement was modest, but it marked a small decline in the value of the local currency.
Market analysts said the change points to continued relative stability in the foreign exchange market, with the pound trading within a narrow band. They noted that cautious demand for hard currency, alongside closely monitored liquidity conditions, remains a key influence on price movements.
Banks reported largely steady exchange rates throughout the session, with only limited fluctuations seen in major foreign currencies against the Egyptian pound.
