CBE Delays 17th FX Auction Once Again After Hisham Ramez's Appointment
Radwa Published in Amwal Al Ghad on 04 - 02 - 2013

The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has delayed its 17th FX auction on Monday for the second consecutive time, on the second day of the newly-appointed Governor Hisham Ramez at CBE, sources said.
A number of bankers and forex experts affirmed that stabilizing the forex market is one of the main challenges facing the new governor in the current period.
CBE delayed its 17th FX auction yesterday after it was slated to conduct three FX auctions this week: on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Some experts expected Ramez to take the required procedures to stabilize the forex market so as to avoid a potential collapse of the Egyptian pound.
The value of dollar highly surged after launching the new system at the end of last December. The value of dollar registered 6.37 (Sell price) at the beginning of launching the new system and hiked to EGP 6.81 (sell price).
The total amounts that CBE offered in previous FX auctions are as follows:
