British Pound to Egyptian Pound exchange rate history
About the British Pound
The British Pound (GBP, £) is the official currency of the United Kingdom and the primary currency in which the UK-based African diaspora earns and sends. Issued by the Bank of England, the Pound is subdivided into 100 pence. The UK is one of the three largest remittance source markets for Africa, channelling several billion pounds a year primarily to Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. After the 2016 Brexit referendum the GBP traded substantially weaker against both USD and EUR, which compressed remittance values when measured in either dollars or recipient local currency. Mobile-first remitters serving the UK-Africa corridor — Sendwave, LemFi, TapTap Send, Lemonade Finance — typically post a GBP rate within 0.5%–2% of interbank, with the fee structure varying by amount and destination.
About the Egyptian Pound
The Egyptian Pound (EGP, ج.م) is the official currency of Egypt, issued by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) and subdivided into 100 piastres. Egypt moved to a flexible, market-determined exchange rate in March 2024 under an IMF-supported programme, and the Pound subsequently traded substantially weaker — settling around EGP 50-52 per USD through 2025-2026 from the long-administered ~EGP 30 level. Egypt is among the world's largest remittance recipients, with Gulf-based workers (Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait) the dominant source; the CBE has prioritised channelling these inflows into formal rails, including instant credit to mobile wallets and InstaPay. Egypt is also a major importer of Chinese goods, making the CNY/EGP cross relevant to importers planning supplier payments. For inbound flows landing in Vodafone Cash or InstaPay, the formal-channel EGP rate now tracks the interbank reference far more closely than under the prior peg.
