Egyptian pound dips against dollar in early Monday trade

The Egyptian pound slipped marginally against the US dollar in early trading on Monday, according to quotes from major local banks.

As of 10:58 p.m. local time (08:58 GMT), the dollar was quoted at:

Bank Buy (EGP/USD) Sell (EGP/USD)
National Bank of Egypt (NBE) 47.33 47.43
Banque Misr 47.4 47.5
Commercial International Bank (CIB) 47.35 47.45
QNB Alahli 47.3000 47.4000
Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) 47.5000 47.6000

The pound has largely traded within a narrow range in recent weeks, reflecting relative stability in the foreign exchange market after bouts of volatility earlier this year driven by hard currency shortages and elevated inflationary pressures.
