About Egyptian Pound (£)
The Egyptian Pound (EGP, ISO 4217 code 818, symbol £E or ج.م — gineh masry in Arabic) is the official currency of the Arab Republic of Egypt, issued by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE, est. 1898 as National Bank of Egypt; CBE in current form 1961). Subdivided into 100 piastres (qirsh in Arabic). Banknotes: 5 piastres, 10 piastres, 25 piastres (paper, all rarely used), 50 piastres, £E1, £E5, £E10, £E20, £E50, £E100, £E200; CBE introduced polymer £E10 (2022) and £E20 (2023) banknotes as part of currency modernization. Egypt has undertaken multiple IMF Extended Fund Facility programs — most recently a $8 billion package signed March 2024 alongside a 60%+ EGP devaluation (from £E30 to £E50 per USD in a single day) and inflation reached ~36% in early 2024. Egypt is the most-populous Arab country (~115 million) and the largest economy in the Arab world by some measures, with major Suez Canal revenue (~$8-9B/year), tourism, natural gas exports, and remittances from Gulf workers (~$32B/year).
About Swiss Franc (Fr)
The Swiss Franc (CHF, ISO 4217 code 756, symbol Fr or SFr) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, issued by the Swiss National Bank (SNB, est. 1907). Subdivided into 100 centimes (in French) / Rappen (in German) / centesimi (in Italian) / raps (in Romansh). Banknotes: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 1000 CHF; coins: 5, 10, 20, 50 centimes, 1, 2, 5 CHF. CHF is regarded as a global 'safe-haven' currency due to Switzerland's political neutrality, strong Triple-A credit rating, low debt-to-GDP ratio (~17%, among the lowest in OECD), and gold-backed reserves (~22% of SNB foreign reserves were in gold as of 2024). Historically CHF was pegged to gold until 1999 and maintained a unilateral cap of 1.20 CHF/EUR from September 2011 to January 15, 2015 ('Swiss Franc Shock' when SNB unexpectedly abandoned the peg, causing a 30% intraday spike). SNB targets price stability (CPI inflation between 0 and 2% per Federal Act on the SNB).
