This morning in the foreign press: EGP devaluation draws bargain-hunting Brits. A UK Post Office index (pdf) ranking GBP exchange rates for currencies used in destinations frequented by British tourists has the international press touting Egypt as an increasingly affordable choice. “The collapse of the EGP in the past year means visitors to Egypt will get 72.7% more for their pounds — the equivalent of over GBP 210 extra on a GBP 500 currency transaction,” boosting the affordability of destinations like Sharm El Sheikh, the Post Office wrote. The Financial Times and Sky News both have coverage.
