The US Dollar exchange rate retreated 5 piasters to EGP 7.80 per dollar on Wednesday in the black market, while the value of USD remained stable at EGP 7.44 for the tenth day in a row in the official market. The decline of the local currency value has relatively stopped as the operations of purchasing Dollar have almost been ceased due to the businessmen anticipation of the Central Bank's coming bids. Another reason that contributed to Dollar's value is the coming 10-day vacation of Chinese factories which led importers to stop purchasing USD until the factories return to work.
