Egyptian pound to euro (EGP/EUR)
The rate both ways — computed through the dollar, since both currencies are quoted against it — plus how far each has moved against the dollar this year and what that does to a EGX return counted in euros. Same snapshot as every other figure on this site.
The rate, both ways
reference rate, 28 Aug 2026, 00:02 UTCMid-market reference rate — the midpoint between buying and selling. No bank, broker or bureau will quote you exactly this figure; the note under the converter below says how wide that gap can run.
This year, against the dollar
since JanuaryThe Egyptian pound has weakened 5.3% against the dollar this year — it takes 5.3% more of it to buy a dollar than it did in January.
The euro has weakened 1.4% against the dollar this year — it takes 1.4% more of it to buy a dollar than it did in January.
Put together, the Egyptian pound has lost ground to the euro this year. We do not put a single figure on the cross move: the two series above are collected independently against the dollar, and composing them would claim more precision than they have.
Why this rate matters on the EGX
The Egyptian Exchange quotes its 43 listings in Egyptian pound — nothing on it trades in euros. But for anyone counting their wealth in euros, this cross-rate is exactly what turns a Egyptian pound return into what they actually received, and on this market the currency’s move is routinely as large as the return it is applied to.
See the Egyptian Exchange page for its listings and index, or Africa vs World for every index here adjusted to dollars the same way.

These are mid-market reference rates — the midpoint between buying and selling. No bank, broker or bureau trades at the midpoint, and on thinly traded African currencies the spread you are offered can be several percent wide. Treat this as the yardstick, not as a quote. Where a country operates exchange controls, the official rate may also differ from the rate at which currency can actually be obtained or repatriated.
What a return is actually worth
local currency → dollarsA +40.0% return in EGP was worth +33.0% to a dollar investor this year.
The EGP weakened 5.3% against the dollar since January, which takes 7.0 points off the headline figure.
Computed as (1 + 0.400) ÷ (1 + 0.053) − 1. Subtracting the currency move instead is the common shortcut and it overstates the result — here it would give +34.7%.

“Weaker” means it now takes more of that currency to buy a dollar than it did in January — so a return earned in it is worth less to someone holding dollars. This is the single largest reason a headline return on an African market and the return an overseas investor actually received are different numbers.
