Treat unlicensed platforms advertising unusually attractive rates with caution. The apparent gain rarely covers the risk, and the official route stays safer even when it looks less generous. Exchange rates are set by supply and demand for foreign currency, the balance of exports and imports, flows from investment, tourism and remittances, and the central bank's decisions in Egypt on interest rates and monetary policy. Importers and business owners watch the dollar closely because it feeds directly into the cost of goods and raw materials, and from there into what the shopper pays.
