The dollar price in Egypt rose during Monday trading, continuing the gains of the US currency that began with the return of geopolitical tensions and the dollar's rise against major currencies.

The increased pace of hot money exiting Egyptian debt instruments contributed to the dollar price rising above 51 pounds once again, after a period of decline around the level of 49 pounds.

According to a report prepared by Al Arabiya Business, the highest exchange rate for the US dollar in Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Suez Canal Bank, and Crédit Agricole reached 51.42 pounds for buying and 51.52 pounds for selling. The lowest exchange rate for the US dollar was at Emirates NBD at 50.40 pounds for buying and 50.50 pounds for selling.

Strong Performance

In Banque Misr, the dollar price reached 51.32 pounds for buying and 51.42 pounds for selling. In Commercial International Bank, Al Baraka Bank, and Next Bank, the dollar price was 51.30 pounds for buying and 51.40 pounds for selling. The dollar price at the National Bank of Egypt was 51.16 pounds for buying and 51.26 pounds for selling. At the Central Bank of Egypt, the exchange rate for the US dollar recorded 51.06 pounds for buying and 51.20 pounds for selling.

The Egyptian pound had concluded the year 2025 with strong performance, rising by 6.7% against the dollar since the beginning of last year, supported by the record jump in remittances from Egyptians working abroad and the recovery of liquidity in the banking sector.

Hot Money

Arab and foreign transactions in the secondary market for Egyptian government debt recorded a net sale of 1.46 billion dollars during last week's trading, according to data from the Egyptian Stock Exchange. The pace of hot money exiting Egypt returned after a period of positive inflows, with renewed geopolitical tensions in the region, leading to an increase in the price of the US dollar against the Egyptian pound. During last June, Arab and foreign transactions in the secondary market for government debt recorded a net purchase of 8.76 billion dollars. Hot money inflows recorded a net purchase of 11.66 billion dollars during the second quarter of 2026.
