Egypt’s Dollar Bonds Trend Lower
February 13, 2023
Egypt’s dollar bonds have fallen over 5% since the beginning of the month. The sovereign was downgraded recently to B3 from B2 by Moody’s citing “reduced external buffers and shock absorption capacity”. The nation’s forex reserves have fallen 17% to $34.2bn from last year’s high of $41bn that Moody’s says has increased “external vulnerability”.

The Egyptian Pound has dropped 19% vs the US dollar this year.
