Dollar edged higher against Egyptian pound in seven banks in early interbank dealings on Tuesday. The seven banks are the National Bank of Egypt (NBE), Banque Misr, Commercial International Bank (CIB), Banque du Caire, Al Baraka Bank Egypt, AlexBank, and Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt. The pound was quoted at around 17.20 to the dollar, but rates were volatile and spreads wide. Last Thursday, the central bank abandoned the pound's peg of 8.8 to the dollar in an effort to attract inflows of capital and close down a booming black market in dollars.
