Out of 162 actively traded world currencies tracked against the US Dollar, the Egyptian Pound (EGP) currently ranks #91 by per-unit value, making it stronger than 44% of all currencies on this list. A lower rank means fewer units of that currency are needed to buy one US Dollar. Within Africa, EGP ranks #18 of 44 currencies tracked on this site for that continent.
ℹ️ This ranks currencies by face value per unit against the US Dollar — the same measure used in "world's strongest currencies" lists. It reflects historical denomination, not economic size, purchasing power or GDP.
📇 How this number is worked out: EGP currently trades at 50.4983 per US Dollar. Comparing that to all 162 tracked currencies — 90 of them trade at a lower rate (so are stronger than EGP), and 71 trade at a higher rate (so are weaker). That places EGP at rank #91 = 1 + 90 currencies stronger than it.
