Egypt's central bank kept the pound steady at a dollar sale on Sunday, selling $37.8 million at a cut-off price of 7.7301 pounds per dollar, unchanged from Thursday.
The central bank had kept the pound at 7.5301 for five months until July, when it allowed it to slide to 7.6301. On July 5, the bank let it slip a further 0.10 pounds.
Allowing the pound to weaken in a controlled way could boost exports and attract further investment but it also raises Egypt's already large bill for imported fuel and food staples.
Egypt has sought to tame a once-thriving currency black market with measures such as a cap on dollar-denominated bank deposits.
The central bank gave permission in January to trade dollars up to 0.10 pounds above or below the official rate, with currency exchange bureaus allowed to trade at 0.15 pounds above or bellow the official rate.
One trader at an exchange bureau said the pound was changing hands at 8.04 pounds per dollar and another trader said it was changing at 8.05 pounds per dollar, weaker than Thursday's rates of 8.02 and 8.03.
Egypt is trying to rebuild its economy after four years of turmoil with a series of investor-friendly reforms including reducing subsidies and introducing pro-business regulations.
