Egypt to issue 200- and 500-pound notes in 2007
Nov 13, 2006 10:13 AM Category: Africa
According
to a November 13, 2006,
article in The Daily
Star,
Farouq Al-Oqda, chairman of the
Central Bank of
Egypt,
said during the recent Annual Arab Banking
Conference 2006 held in Beirut that a 200-pound
bank note will be issued in March 2007 and another
500-pound note will accompany July 23rd
celebrations. Low-value notes like the 5- and
10-piaster have almost been informally abolished.
“The state didn’t directly cause these little
banknotes to diminish; but people’s attitudes did.
For example, we always neglect the 5 piaster
change as if it is no longer of any value,”
explains Dr Hoda Zakaria, professor of political
sociology at Zaqaziq University.
