☆ Egypt's currency seen falling faster than previous projections
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Nafisa Eltahir | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

CAIRO, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Egypt's currency will weaken at a steeper pace than expected, although inflation is likely to decrease over the next few years, a Reuters poll showed. In July, respondents had predicted a more conservative devaluation, reaching 19.86 by the end of the 2023/24 fiscal year. The higher outlook is based on pressure on Egypt's currency and the uncertainty in global energy and food prices driven largely by the war, said Mona Bedeir, chief economist at Al Baraka Bank. High inflation and a weakening currency weighed on economists' projections for Egypt's growth, which fell below the 6.6% surge during the fiscal year that ended in June. They predicted growth of 5.4% in the current fiscal year, and 5.0% in the 2023-2024 year.

As of the end of June, the government had a total of $155.7 billion in foreign debt. Egypt had made good progress on three likely IMF demands, said James Swanston of Capital Economics.
