Importance of the EGP

The Egyptian Pyramid, the ancient pride of Egypt is not unknown to any corner of the world. The essence of Egyptian rich culture is popular across the world. Not just in terms of the socio-cultural sector, but the country has also advanced a lot in the economic sector. EGP or Egyptian Pound is an important currency and it is also known as Baku, Arnab, and Feel. 1 Egyptian Pound is equal to 100 Piastras. Prior to the introduction of the Pound in 1834, the country had the currency known as Piastre. The symbol for the Egyptian Pound is E£. Not just in Egypt but EGP is also used in some parts of Sudan and the Gaza Strip.

Introduction of the EGP

EGP is the short form for the Egyptian Pound which was adopted as the official currency of Egypt back in 1834 in place of Piastras. It is sometimes also symbolically represented as LE (Livre Egyptiénne ). EGP was initially fixed at par with gold and silver bi-metal standards. In 1961, Egypt established its central bank, known as The Central Bank of Egypt. The institution started looking after the circulation, management, and administration of the currency.

Later on, EGP was pegged to the Pound Sterling until 1962. In 1962, the EGP got pegged to the US Dollar (USD). Later on, after the devaluation of the USD in 1973 and that of the EGP in 1978, EGP continued to be only partially pegged to the USD. In 2016, EGP unpegged itself and became a floating currency. It was done in order to receive IMF funding. Currently, EGP comes in both banknotes of denominations 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Pounds and coins in the denominations of 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50 Piastras and also of 1 Pounds.

Factors that affect the exchange of the EGP to INR

The exchange rate is one of the essential parts of any economy. It explains the position of one currency with respect to others in the world market. The current exchange rate of EGP-INR is 2.66 EGP per INR. This means one has to give INR 2.66 in order to receive 1 EGP and vice-versa.

There are several reasons that have affected the currency of both Egypt and India so far. Egypt has both an import and export market. So, the prices of commodities in the international market affect the exchange rate to a great extent. Also, internal economic and political stability is also responsible. Crude oil, natural gas, metal, chemicals, textiles, pharmaceuticals, cement, etc. are some important products traded by Egypt. Apart from these, tourism also makes a huge impact.
