The report added that the Russian Central Bank announced the adoption of the Egyptian pound in the currency basket against the Russian ruble, which opens the way for Egypt to import its needs of wheat without using the dollar, which represents less pressure on the Egyptian dollar resources, and this caused greater calm in the dollar exchange market and then a decline gold.
The Central Bank had announced the start of financial derivatives operations in the Egyptian exchange market, and financial derivatives are among the important tools in increasing investment, supporting importers and manufacturers, hedging against exchange rate fluctuations, and increasing liquidity.
