Egypt has kept its Overnight Lending Rate unchanged at 20.00%, according to the latest data updated on 24 September 2026. The decision maintains the benchmark at the same level as the previous reading, signaling a continued commitment to a tight monetary policy stance.
By holding the rate steady, Egyptian authorities appear focused on preserving financial stability and anchoring inflation expectations, rather than shifting toward either further tightening or an easing cycle. The unchanged rate at a relatively high level underscores ongoing efforts to support the currency and contain price pressures in the economy.
