Foreigners continue to withdraw from Egyptian treasury bills amounting to $347 million
Earlier, Egyptian Stock Exchange data showed the continued exit of foreign investors from local treasury bills, as they recorded a net sale of about $347 million during Wednesday’s trading.
This comes after foreigners recorded net sales of $713 million in Tuesday’s trading, in continuation of the wave of hot money leaving the Egyptian market due to fears of regional tensions.
This exit is linked to escalating fears of the repercussions of the US-Iranian war on the region, and its resulting effects on the financial markets of emerging countries, including Egypt.
This coincided with the decline in the value of the Egyptian pound against the dollar to exceed 50 pounds, recording its lowest level in about 8 months, in light of continuing pressure on the exchange market and growing fears of the effects of the exit of foreign investments on the local economy.
