# Samer Shukair Writes: Pound Rebound Fuels Institutional Investment Appetite in Egypt

> The article says the Egyptian pound recovered about 5% against the dollar, rising from more than 56.36 pounds per dollar to around 53.70, after losing more than 7% in October. It attributes the rebound to a 100-basis-point central-bank rate increase, higher Suez Canal revenue, and foreign-reserve growth to $57.5 billion at October's end, while noting that sustained foreign-currency inflows remain important.
