Egyptian pound slips slightly against dollar in early Thursday trade

The Egyptian pound edged lower against the US dollar in early trading on Thursday, with official rates at major banks showing modest declines.

As of 12:07 a.m. local time (10:07 GMT), the dollar was quoted at:

Bank Buy (EGP/USD) Sell (EGP/USD)
National Bank of Egypt (NBE) 47.55 47.65
Banque Misr 47.55 47.65
Commercial International Bank (CIB) 47.54 47.64
QNB Alahli 47.5400 47.6400

The pound has been trading within a relatively narrow range in recent weeks, suggesting a degree of stability after earlier volatility caused by foreign-currency shortages and persistently high inflation.
