The Egyptian pound nudged slightly higher against the US dollar in early trade on Monday, with official bank rates showing only marginal movements across major lenders.

As of 11:20 a.m. local time (09:20 GMT), the dollar was quoted at:

Bank Buy (EGP/USD) Sell (EGP/USD)
National Bank of Egypt (NBE) 47.43 47.53
Banque Misr 47.44 47.54
Commercial International Bank (CIB) 47.43 47.53
QNB Alahli 47.4000 47.5000

The pound has been trading within a tight corridor in recent weeks, reflecting a spell of relative stability after earlier bouts of volatility tied to foreign-currency shortages and high inflation.
