Factors Affecting the Dollar Price in Egypt

The dollar price in Egypt today is influenced by a complex interplay of domestic and international macroeconomic factors. These elements determine the supply and demand equilibrium within the banking system:

Inflation: High inflation rates can exert downward pressure on the local currency, necessitating adjustments in the exchange rate to maintain monetary stability.
Central Bank Policy: The monetary policies enacted by the Central Bank of Egypt, including interest rate adjustments and reserve requirements, remain the most significant drivers of currency valuation.
Foreign Currency Demand: The demand from importers and businesses requiring USD to facilitate international trade remains a persistent factor in the daily fluctuation of rates.
Trade Balance: The gap between exports and imports directly impacts the availability of foreign currency. A strong export sector generally supports the stability of the EGP.
Tourism & Remittances: Inflows from the tourism industry and remittances from Egyptians working abroad are vital sources of foreign currency, providing essential support to the national reserves.
