Dollar Price in Egypt and Central Bank Reserves

Stable Supported by Strong Reserves
The exchange rate of the US dollar against the Egyptian pound remained stable on December 7, 2025, at 47.51 EGP for buying and 47.61 EGP for selling in major banks such as the National Bank and Bank Misr, with a slight difference in the parallel market at 47.60 EGP.

This stability follows the renewal of a Kuwaiti deposit worth 2 billion USD, enhancing liquidity in the local market.

The Central Bank of Egypt's foreign currency reserves reached approximately 50.071 billion USD in October 2025, up from 49.534 billion USD in September, supported by revenues from the Suez Canal and remittances.

These reserves cover more than 7 months of imports, providing strong support for the pound amid inflation challenges.

Stability is expected to continue as the fifth and sixth reviews of the IMF begin, which may release an additional 820 million USD, but experts warn of potential pressures if Suez revenues are affected by regional tensions, making monitoring reserves critical in the coming weeks.
