Egypt Implements Currency Float to Address Economic Challenges

 


In a bid to address economic challenges, Egypt has implemented a currency float, allowing its pound to freely trade on currency markets. The move comes after the country secured an $8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and raised its overnight interest rates by 600 basis points. The decision aims to unify the country's official exchange rate and the rate on its parallel market, which had been double the official rate for months, affecting the import-heavy economy.

The float is expected to help Egypt withstand economic challenges and strengthen its foreign reserves.
