Egypt’s pound inches up against dollar in early Sunday trade

The Egyptian pound edged slightly higher against the US dollar in early dealings on Sunday, with official bank quotes showing only marginal moves across major lenders.

As of 10:48 a.m. local time (08:48 GMT), the dollar was trading at:

Bank Buy (EGP/USD) Sell (EGP/USD)
National Bank of Egypt (NBE) 47.45 47.55
Banque Misr 47.49 47.59
Commercial International Bank (CIB) 47.43 47.53
QNB Alahli 47.4400 47.5400

The pound has held within a narrow band in recent weeks, reflecting a period of relative stability following earlier volatility driven by foreign-currency shortages and elevated inflation.
