# The Egyptian pound under pressure: NBK sets its trading range through end-2026

> National Bank of Kuwait expects the Egyptian pound to trade between 52 and 58 per dollar through the rest of 2026, with downside risk if the regional conflict persists. NBK also expects the central bank to hold rates at 20% and 21% in December before easing in 2027.

## Why it matters
