The US dollar edged slightly higher against the Egyptian pound during midday trading on Wednesday, 11 March, 2026, averaging around 51.92 pounds across major banks as of 12:05 p.m. Cairo time (10:05 GMT).
Data from leading lenders showed the dollar trading within a narrow range of 51.80 to 52.06 pounds, reflecting relatively steady demand for the US currency in the local market.
Exchange rates at several of Egypt’s major banks were as follows:
| Bank | Buy (EGP/USD) | Sell (EGP/USD) |
| National Bank of Egypt (NBE) | 51.88 | 51.98 |
| Banque Misr | 51.85 | 51.95 |
| Commercial International Bank (CIB) | 51.8 | 51.9 |
| QNB Alahli | 51.8700 | 51.9700 |
| Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) | 51.9600 | 52.0600 |
The modest uptick comes as the Egyptian pound continues to move within a relatively stable band against the dollar, following the country’s shift to a more flexible exchange rate regime earlier in March 2024.
