The Central Bank of Egypt, established in 1961, is the primary monetary authority and issuer of the Egyptian pound. It succeeded the National Bank of Egypt, which had acted as the central bank since 1898, and is responsible for regulating the country’s banking system and monetary policy.
National Bank of Egypt
The National Bank of Egypt (NBE) is Egypt’s oldest and largest commercial bank, founded in 1898 during the reign of Khedive Abbas II. It originally functioned as the country’s central bank, issuing currency and managing state funds, before the Central Bank of Egypt assumed that role in 1961. Today, it remains a major financial institution with a vast network of branches across the nation.
Banque Misr
Banque Misr is Egypt’s first fully Egyptian-owned bank, founded in 1920 by economist Talaat Harb Pasha as part of a nationalist movement to promote domestic economic independence.
