US Dollar to Egyptian Pound exchange rate history
What moves the Egyptian Pound rate
The Egyptian pound has seen sharp devaluations under the IMF programme; the March 2024 float and Gulf capital inflows reset it. Watch the central bank's managed crawl, Suez Canal receipts and Gulf-worker remittances.
About the US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD, $) is the world's primary reserve currency and the de facto reference rate for most African remittance pricing. It is issued by the Federal Reserve System and subdivided into 100 cents. For African routes, the USD plays two distinct roles: as the on-the-wire settlement currency that originating remittance providers use to hedge between markets, and as the unit of account that diaspora senders most often think in. When operators quote a USD-to-local-currency rate, the difference between that rate and the interbank mid-market — the spread — is where most of the route's cost is hidden, often dwarfing the visible send fee. For receivers in countries with thin USD interbank markets such as Sierra Leone or Mozambique, the published rate can lag the interbank reference by several percentage points.
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.
