The price of the US dollar in Egyptian banks has continued to decline against the Egyptian pound for the fourth day consecutively.
The lowest purchase price for the dollar on Thursday was recorded in the Banque du Caire at LE17.80, while the highest was in the Commercial International Bank (CIB) at LE17.96.
According to bankers, the decline is due to an increased supply of US currency.

In Bank Misr, Bank of Alexandria, the Arab African Bank and Baraka Bank dollar prices rose by five piasters compared to Wednesday.
