The US dollar rose against the Egyptian pound on Monday, 20 April 2026, extending a run of steady gains, according to the National Bank of Egypt (NBE).
The dollar reached EGP 51.69, up from EGP 51.65 in the previous session, an increase of EGP 0.04, pointing to continued, albeit modest, pressure on the local currency.
Analysts say movements in the Egyptian pound are closely tied to demand for foreign currency, particularly the US dollar, which is widely used for imports and international transactions.
Meanwhile, the British pound remained at relatively elevated levels, trading at EGP 69.65 for buying and EGP 69.96 for selling.
The euro weakened slightly, falling to EGP 60.63 for buying and EGP 60.91 for selling.
The Chinese yuan showed limited movement, edging up to EGP 7.57 for buying while holding steady at EGP 7.59 for selling.
Regional currencies also recorded gains. The UAE dirham rose to EGP 14.05 for buying and EGP 14.10 for selling, supported by sustained demand linked to travel, remittances and economic ties with Gulf countries.
Egypt has faced ongoing currency pressures in recent years, as it seeks to balance foreign currency demand with inflows from tourism, investment and remittances.
