The exchange rate of the Egyptian pounds determined by the market forces

The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) implemented an exchange rate flexibility, allowing the market to determine the value of the Egyptian pound.

The interest rates were raised by 600 basis points, to allow the market to set the exchange rates.

The overnight lending rates were raised to 28.25% and the overnight deposit rate to 27.25%.

These steps aim to unify the exchange rates and decelerate the inflation.
