Egyptian pound edges lower against dollar in early Thursday trade

The Egyptian pound slipped slightly against the US dollar in early trading on Thursday, with official bank data showing marginal movements across major lenders.

As of 10:45 a.m. local time (08:45 GMT), the dollar was quoted at:

Bank Buy (EGP/USD) Sell (EGP/USD)
National Bank of Egypt (NBE) 47.52 47.62
Banque Misr 47.53 47.63
Commercial International Bank (CIB) 47.53 47.63
QNB Alahli 47.5200 47.6200
Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) 47.5300 47.6300

The pound has hovered in a tight range in recent weeks, marking a period of relative stability after bouts of volatility earlier in the year when persistent foreign-currency shortages and high inflation weighed on the market.
