Accordingly, one of the short-term worries is the US dollar reaching EGP16 due to low foreign currency reserves, while the gap between supply and demand would remain for a while.

In addition, a 5bn influx is predicted from applying the deal of exchanging foreign currencies with China, while another 2.5bn would come for the IMF.
