The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Egyptian pound was stable during banking trade on Thursday morning.
Banking experts explained that preventing the exchange of foreign currency in the black market and trading it only within the banking sector has led to an abundance of US dollars, lowering its prices against the Egyptian pound.
According to the latest price updates, the highest US dollar purchase rate was recorded in Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank at LE17.74, and the lowest sale price was recorded in the United Bank of Egypt at LE 17.78.
The National Bank of Egypt (NBE) recorded LE17.73 for purchase and LE17.83 for sale, along with the National Bank of Greece, the Commercial International Bank (CIB), and HSBC.
