The Egyptian pound gained about 3.9% against the dollar over the past week as foreign portfolio flows returned to Egyptian government debt. Estimates cited in the report put inflows at about $2 billion since the previous Sunday, while a separate estimate placed net inflows at roughly $2.5 billion for the week; foreign holdings were estimated at around $27 billion.
A stronger pound can lower the local cost of imported feed and energy, easing input-cost pressure for Egyptian buyers. The currency gain was linked partly to returning capital and falling oil prices, rather than a change in agricultural supply.
