**Dr. Al-Fadhel:** “The AED is currently trading steady against the EGP, with one dirham roughly equivalent to 13.22 Egyptian pounds. This stability is largely attributed to the robust performance of the UAE economy, fueled by consistent oil exports and a diversification strategy that encompasses various sectors. The dirham’s peg to the US dollar also provides a certain level of stability and predictability.”
***Mr. Ibrahim,what are your observations on the current trend and what are the potential implications for the Egyptian economy?***
**Mr. Ibrahim:** “The dirham’s strength against the Egyptian pound makes imports from the UAE relatively more expensive for Egyptians.

***Mr. Ibrahim, for Egyptian businesses considering investments in the UAE, what strategic considerations should they keep in mind?***
**Mr. Ibrahim:** “Egyptian companies venturing into the UAE market should factor in the current exchange rate when assessing project costs and potential returns. Hedging strategies might potentially be necessary to mitigate currency risk and ensure financial stability.”

***Looking ahead, what are your predictions for the AED-EGP exchange rate in the coming months?***
**Dr. Al-Fadhel:** “The UAE economy is expected to remain strong, supported by diversification efforts and continued oil revenues. This suggests that the AED will likely maintain its relative strength against the EGP in the foreseeable future.
