As for the Egyptians, they pay great attention to the movement of the US dollar and its impact on buying and selling operations in Egypt and its impact on prices, and despite the stability of the dollar rate in banks over the past three weeks, many people still care about the expectations of the dollar price in the coming days, The following is the explanation of the economist Rashad Abdo in the following lines.

Professor Rashad Abdo, a professor of economics at Cairo University, answered this inquiry, saying that one of the most important requirements of the International Monetary Fund is that the exchange rate of the Egyptian pound be flexible and determined based on the strength of supply and demand in Egypt, and the price of the dollar must rise in the event of an increase in demand for it. And to decrease in the event that the supply is greater than the demand, therefore, the decline in the price of the dollar globally will not affect much on its price in Egypt, as it is more affected by the movement of buying and selling operations and the pressure of demand on it.
