Egypt devalued its currency by 48 percent in 2016, allowing it to float freely in order to meet a key demand by the International Monetary Fund and secure a three-year US$12 billion loan from the fund.
Egypt’s currency has increased in value in the years since, but has failed to return to its previous value.
