US dollar drops against Egyptian Pound following surge in CBE foreign reserves

The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) reported that its net international foreign exchange reserves increased to $56.30 billion by the end of July, marking a $600 million rise from June's $55.70 billion. This growth highlights improved foreign liquidity and enhances Egypt's capacity to meet international obligations. The increase provides a buffer against external economic shocks and supports import financing and debt repayments. It also offers the CBE more flexibility in managing monetary policy and stabilizing the foreign exchange market. As a result, the US dollar weakened against the Egyptian pound, with exchange rates falling by up to 75 piasters in some banks, bringing the dollar below the LE 50 mark.
