USD to EGP Exchange Rate History — Egypt
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Egyptian Pound parallel (black market) rate moved from about 50.5 EGP on Jun 5, 2026 to 52.76 EGP on Jun 6, 2026 — a change of +4.5%. Across that window the Egyptian Pound weakened against the dollar, trading between a low of 50.5 and a high of 52.94 EGP, averaging 52.76 EGP per US dollar.
Egypt has repeatedly devalued the pound to close the gap with the street, making its black-market rate a closely tracked economic signal.
How to read the EGP rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many EGP it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Egyptian Pound is losing value (more EGP per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (52.94) and the low (50.5) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.5% around the average.
What has moved the Egyptian Pound recently?
In Egypt, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as recurring dollar shortages, a series of pound devaluations, IMF-linked reforms. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical EGP rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to EGP page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
