Egyptian pound at 49.83/49.93 against dollar in midday trade – 21 June 2026

The Egyptian pound was broadly unchanged against the U.S. dollar in midday trading on Sunday, extending a period of relative stability in the local foreign-exchange market amid steady hard-currency liquidity.

The dollar traded at around 49.83 pounds for buying and 49.93 pounds for selling at most major banks as of 12:26 p.m. local time (09:26 GMT), according to data compiled from five leading lenders.

The Egyptian currency has traded within a relatively narrow range against the greenback in recent weeks, supported by improved foreign-currency inflows and easing pressures in the domestic foreign-exchange market.
